Configuring a trunk group
Example 5: Configuring a static trunk group for devices in an
IronStack
The following example shows how to configure a static trunk group for units in an IronStack, and
the result of the configured trunk group in the show trunk output.
Additional trunking options
The following trunking options can be performed on ports in deployed trunks. These options are
supported on static trunk ports. Except where noted, these options are also supported on dynamic
(LACP) trunk ports on all Brocade FastIron devices.
• Naming a trunk port
• Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
• Deleting a static trunk group (applies to static trunks only)
• Specifying the minimum number of ports in a trunk group (applies to static trunks only)
• Monitoring a trunk port
• Configuring outbound rate shaping on a trunk port
• Enabling sFlow forwarding on an individual port in a trunk
• Setting the sFlow sampling rate on an individual port in a trunk
NOTE
Depending on the operational state of LACP-enabled ports, at any time these ports may join a trunk
group, change trunk group membership, exit a trunk group, or possibly never join a trunk group.
Therefore, before configuring trunking options on LACP-enabled ports (for example, naming the port,
disabling the port, and so on), verify the actual trunk group port membership using the show trunk
command. To view the status of LACP, use the show link-aggregate command.
