Configuring a trunk group
11
• Naming a trunk port
• Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
• Deleting a static trunk group (applies to static trunks only)
• Specifying the minimum number of ports in a trunk group (applies to static trunks only)
• Monitoring a trunk port
• Configuring outbound rate shaping on a trunk port
• Enabling sFlow forwarding on an individual port in a trunk
• Setting the sFlow sampling rate on an individual port in a trunk
NOTE
Depending on the operational state of LACP-enabled ports, at any time, these ports may join a trunk
group, change trunk group membership, exit a trunk group, or possibly never join a trunk group.
Therefore, before configuring trunking options on LACP-enabled ports (e.g., naming the port,
disabiling the port, etc.), verify the actual trunk group port membership using the show trunk
command. To view the status of LACP, use the show link-aggregate command.
Naming a trunk port
To name an individual port in a trunk group, enter a command such as the following at the trunk
group configuration level.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk e 1 to 4
PowerConnect(config-trunk-1-4)#port-name customer1 ethernet 2
This command assigns the name “customer1” to port 2 in the trunk group consisting of ports 1 –
4.
Syntax: [no] port-name <ASCII string> ethernet<portnum>
The <ASCII string> parameter specifies the port name. The name can be up to 49 characters long.
The <portnum> parameter is a valid port in the trunk group.
Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
This feature 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.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk e 1 to 4
PowerConnect(config-trunk-1-4)#config-trunk-ind
PowerConnect(config-trunk-1-4)#disable ethernet 2
Syntax: [no] config-trunk-ind
Syntax: [no] disable ethernet <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.
