Configuring a trunk group
Naming a trunk port
Naming a trunk port is supported on individual ports of a static trunk group.
To name an individual port in a trunk group, enter a command such as the following at the trunk
group configuration level.
Brocade(config)#trunk e 4/1 to 4/4
Brocade(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)#port-name customer1 ethernet 4/2
This command assigns the name “customer1” to port 4/2 in the trunk group consisting of ports
4/1 to 4/4.
Syntax: [no] port-name <ASCII string> ethernet <port>
The <ASCII string> variable specifies the port name. The name can be up to 49 characters long.
The <port>variable is a valid port in the trunk group.
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
Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
NOTE
When you enable or disable auto-negotiated combination ports on FESX devices, the ports may flap
for a few seconds before the link is up.
Disabling or re-enabling trunk ports is supported on individual ports of a static trunk group.
You can disable or re-enable individual ports in a trunk group. To disable an individual port in a
trunk group, enter commands such as the following at the trunk group configuration level.
Brocade(config)#trunk e 4/1 to 4/4
Brocade(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)#config-trunk-ind
Brocade(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)#disable ethernet 4/2
Syntax: [no] config-trunk-ind
Syntax: [no] disable ethernet <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
The config-trunk-ind command enables configuration of individual ports in the trunk group. If you
do not use this command, the disable and enable commands will be valid only for the primary port
in the trunk group and will disable or enable all ports in the trunk group. You need to enter the
config-trunk-ind command only once in a trunk group. After you enter the command, all applicable
port configuration commands apply to individual ports only.
