Configuring a trunk group
11
NOTE
The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
Example 3: Configuring a multi-slot trunk group
with one port per module
You can select one port per module in a multi-slot trunk group.
To configure a two-port multi-slot trunk group consisting of ports 1 on module 1 and 2 on module 2,
enter the following commands.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk ethernet 1 to 1 ethernet 2 to 2
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
Notice that the groups of ports meet the criteria for a multi-slot trunk group. Each group contains
the same number of ports (two) and begins on a primary port (1 and 3.
Example 4: Configuring a trunk group of 10 Gbps
Ethernet ports
You can configure 10 Gbps Ethernet ports together in a trunk group.
To configure a trunk group containing two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, enter commands such as the
following.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-trunk-1-2)# write memory
PowerConnect(config-trunk-1-2)# exit
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
These commands configure a trunk group consisting of 10 Gbps Ethernet ports 1 and 2, then
deploy the trunk group. The trunk configuration does not take effect until you deploy it.
Syntax: [no] trunk ethernet <primary-portnum> to <secondary-portnum>
Syntax: trunk deploy
The <primary-portnum> parameter specifies the trunk group primary port.
The <secondary-portnum> parameter specifies the secondary port in the trunk group.
NOTE
Two-port trunk groups are supported for 10 Gbps Ethernet. You cannot specify more than two ports.
To display configuration information and load-sharing statistics for the trunk group, enter the show
trunk command. Refer to “Displaying trunk group configuration information” on page 323.
Additional trunking options
The following trunking options can be performed on ports in deployed trunks.Note that these
options are not supported on LACP trunk ports on PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices.
The additional trunking options are as follows:
