Emulex Boot for the Fibre Channel Protocol User Guide
If you are using an adapter that does not support trunking, the Select Trunking option is not be available.
NOTE: Changing the trunking mode resets the adapter to factory default settings. You must configure the HBA and boot
parameters after changing the trunking mode for BFS to work.
To enable or disable trunking, perform these steps:
NOTE: Before you enable or disable trunking on an Emulex adapter, follow the instructions from Brocade to enable or
disable trunking on the switch.
1. On the main configuration menu (Figure 2), select Configure Adapter Firmware Parameters and press Enter.
The adapter firmware parameters configuration menu is displayed (Figure 21).
2. Select Trunking Selection and press Enter.
Depending on the adapter you are using, information similar to Figure 25 is displayed.

3. Select the trunking mode from the available options.
Disable Trunking disables trunking for the adapter.
4. Press Enter to accept the trunking selection.
5. Press Esc until you exit the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS utility.
6. Reboot the system.
If trunking has been enabled, only the trunked ports are visible in the main configuration menu. If trunking has been
disabled, all the physical ports are visible in the main configuration menu.
NOTE: When trunking is enabled, the maximum aggregate link speed is always displayed regardless of the state of each
physical link.
