Trunk monitoring
To monitor E_Port (ISL) and F_Port trunks, you can set monitors only on the master port of the
trunk. If the master changes, the monitor automatically moves to the new master port.
If a monitor is installed on a port that later becomes a slave port when a trunk comes up, the
monitor automatically moves to the master port of the trunk.
Note the following:
• End-to-end monitors are supported for ISLs only on the Brocade 6510 and DCX 8510 family.
• If an EE monitor is installed on a trunk group and you disable the trunk, the EE monitor will be
installed only on the last master port of that trunk group, which might not be the actual port on
which the EE monitor was installed when the trunk was enabled.
• For F_Port trunks, end-to-end masks are allowed only on the F_Port trunk master. Unlike the
monitors, if the master changes, the mask does not automatically move to the new master
port.
• All platforms support 12 frame monitors for trunks, except for the Brocade 300, which
supports 8 frame monitors for trunks.
• For the Brocade 8000, trunk monitoring is supported only on the FC ports and not on the CEE
ports.
Saving and restoring monitor configurations
To prevent the switch configuration flash from running out of memory, the number of monitors
saved to flash memory is limited as follows:
• The total number of EE monitors per port is limited to 16.
• The total number of frame monitors per port is limited to 16.
• The total number of monitors per switch is limited to 512.
