Configuring a trunk group
The <primary-port> variable specifies the primary port. Notice that each port group must begin
with a primary port. The primary port of the first port group specified (which must be the group with
the lower port numbers) becomes the primary port for the entire trunk group.
Specify the <primary-port> and <port> variables in one of the following formats:
• FWS and FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
• FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices – <slotnum/portnum>
• ICX devices = <slotnum/portnum>
• FESX compact switches – <portnum>
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges of ports, or use a
combination of both.
CLI syntax for configuring non-consecutive ports
in a trunk group
This section describes the CLI syntax for configuring non-consecutive ports in a trunk group.
Configuration examples are shown in later sections of this chapter.
To configure a 4-port trunk with non-consecutive ports on a FastIron chassis device, enter a
command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/7 ethernet 1/9 ethernet 1/11 ethernet 1/21
This creates a 4-port trunk group with the following members.
members 1/7, 1/9, 1/11, and 1/21.
To configure a 4-port trunk with non-consecutive ports on a FastIron stackable device, enter a
command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1/7 ethernet 1/1/9 ethernet 1/1/11 ethernet
1/1/21
This creates a 4-port trunk group with the following members.
members 1/1/7, 1/1/9, 1/1/11, and 1/1/21.
Syntax: [no] trunk ethernet <port> ethernet <port> | to ethernet <port>...
The port variable specifies an individual port. Specify the port variable in one of the following
formats:
• FWS, FCX, and ICX stackable switches – stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
• FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices – slotnum/portnum
• ICX devices – slotnum/portnum
• FESX compact switches – portnum
You can enter the ethernet port parameter multiple times to specify a list.
The to keyword indicates that you are specifying a range of ports. Specify the lower port number in
the range first, then to, then the higher port number in the range.
