Configuring a trunk group
You can specify a range and a list on the same command line. For example, to re-enable some
trunk ports, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-trunk-2/1-2/4)#enable ethernet 2/1 to 2/2 ethernet 2/4
Syntax: [no] disable ethernet <port> to <port> | ethernet <port>
Syntax: [no] enable ethernet <port> to <port> | 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. Specify the lower port number in the
range first, then to, then the higher port number in the range.
Deleting a static trunk group
Use the no trunk ethernet command to delete a static trunk group.
NOTE
To delete an LACP trunk group, use the no link-aggregate active | passive command.
To delete a trunk group, use the no form of the command you used to create the trunk group. For
example, to remove one of the trunk groups configured in the previous examples, enter the
following command.
Brocade(config)#no trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 ethernet 3/3 to 3/4
Syntax: no trunk ethernet <port> to <port> [ethernet <port> to <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.
Specifying the minimum number of ports in a static trunk group
You can configure Brocade devices to disable all of the ports in a trunk group when the number of
active member ports drops below a specified threshold value. For example, if a trunk group has
four ports, and the threshold for the trunk group is three, then the trunk group is disabled if the
number of available ports in the trunk group drops below three. If the trunk group is disabled, then
traffic is forwarded over a different link or trunk group.
