Configuring a trunk group
Example 1: Configuring the trunk groups
To configure the trunk groups shown in Figure 62, enter the following commands. Notice that the
commands are entered on multiple devices.
To configure the trunk group link between FSX1 and the FESX, enter the following commands.
NOTE
The text shown in italics in the following CLI example shows messages echoed to the screen in
answer to the CLI commands entered.
Brocade(config)#trunk e 1/5 to 1/8
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
Brocade(config)#write memory
Brocade(config)#trunk deploy
To configure the trunk group link between FSX2 and the server, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)#trunk e 1/2 to 1/4
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
Brocade(config)#write memory
Brocade(config)#trunk deploy
You then configure the trunk group on the FESX.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 17 to 18
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
Brocade(config)#write memory
Brocade(config)#trunk deploy
NOTE
The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
Example 2: Configuring a trunk group that spans
two Ethernet modules in a chassis device
This section shows how to configure a trunk group that spans two modules in a chassis device.
Multi-slot trunk groups are supported on 1-GbE ports, 10-GbE ports, as well as on static and LACP
trunk ports. For multi-slot trunk group rules, refer to Table 136 on page 723.
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of ports, 1/1 to 1/2 on module 1 and 4/5 to
4/6 on module 4, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 ethernet 4/5 to 4/6
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
Brocade(config)#write memory
Brocade(config)#trunk deploy
NOTE
The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
