Disabling or reenabling trunking mode on a port

Disabling or reenabling trunking mode on a port
When the trunking license is activated, trunks are automatically established on eligible ISLs and
trunking capability is enabled by default on all ports. Use the following procedure to disable
trunking on a port or to reenable trunking if it has been disabled.
Trunking is not supported on logical ports, GbE ports, or EX_Ports.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window (see Figure 32 on
page 64).
2. Click the FC Ports tab.
Trunking mode does not apply to GbE ports.
3. From the tree on the left, click the switch name or slot name.
4. From the table, select the port that you want to trunk.
You can select multiple ports from the table. You cannot select multiple ports from the tree.
Trunking mode does not apply to logical ports.
5. Choose the Advanced Mode of Ports Admin.
If the button is unavailable, the port is already in that state.
6. Click Yes in the confirmation window.
Admin Domain considerations
You can enable and disable trunking for a port only when the current Admin Domain owns the
switch. You can log into a switch that is not in your Admin Domain, but most of the functionality will
be unavailable. F_port trunking should not be configured in physical fabric/255 mode.
