Reference Guide

This command does not unassign a TA if its previously assigned Area_ID is the same address identifier (Area_ID) of the TA unless all
the ports in the trunk group are specified to be unassigned.
switch:admin> portdisable 0-2
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 0-2
Trunk index 2 disabled for ports 0, 1, and 2.
Enabling the DCC policy on a trunk area
After you assign a trunk area, the portTrunkArea command checks whether there are any active DCC policies on the port with the index
TA, and then issues a warning to add all the device WWNs to the existing DCC policy with index as TA.
All DCC policies that refer to an index that no longer exists will not be in effect.
1. Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA.
2. Enter the secPolicyActivate command to activate the DCC policy.
In order for security to enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports, you must enable the TA before issuing the secPolicyActivate
command.
3. Turn on the trunk ports.
Turn on trunk ports after issuing the secPolicyActivate command to prevent the ports from becoming disabled in case there is a
DCC security policy violation.
You can configure authentication on all Brocade trunking configurations. For more information on authentication, refer to
Configuring Security Policies on page 215.
