Configuring a trunk group
NOTE
If you disable a module that is part of a multi-slot trunk group, the corresponding trunk ports will go
down, but the remaining ports in the trunk will remain up and running. However, when you re-enable
the module, all of the trunk ports will go down and then come back up. In other words, trunk ports
are redeployed when a module is re-enabled.
Example 3: Configuring a multi-slot trunk group
with one port per module
You can select one port per module in a multi-slot trunk group. This feature is supported on 1-GbE
and 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 2-port multi-slot trunk group consisting of port 1/1 on module 1 and port 2/1 on
module 2, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/1 ethernet 2/1 to 2/1
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.
NOTE
If you disable a module that is part of a multi-slot trunk group, the corresponding trunk ports will
remain up and running. However, when you re-enable the module, all of the trunk ports will go down
and then come back up. In other words, trunk ports are redeployed when a module is re-enabled.
Example 4: Configuring a trunk group of 10 Gbps
Ethernet ports
You can configure 10 Gbps Ethernet ports together in a trunk group.
To configure a trunk group containing two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, enter commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1 to 2/1
Brocade(config-trunk-1/1-2/1)# write memory
Brocade(config-trunk-1/1-2/1)# exit
Brocade(config)#trunk deploy
The commands configure a trunk group consisting of 10 Gbps Ethernet ports 1/1 and 2/1, and
then deploy the trunk group. The trunk configuration does not take effect until you deploy it.
