Trunk group rules
Table 132 lists the maximum number of trunk groups you can configure on a Brocade device and
the valid number of ports in a trunk group. The table applies to static and LACP trunk ports.
NOTE
On FastIron X Series devices, multi-slot trunk groups are supported on 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports. The
valid number of slots in a multi-slot trunk roup is as follows: First Generation IPv4 devices - 2, 3, or
4 ports; Second Generation IPv6 devices - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 ports; Third-generation devices - 2 to
12 ports.
• Legacy ports and 48 Gbps copper ports cannot be members of the same trunk group in
hardware configurations such as the following:
