Chapter 14 Configuring SAN Port Channels
Configuring SAN Port Channels
Step 7 If you chose to dynamically form a SAN port channel from selected ISLs, you see the final Port Channel
Wizard screen (see Figure 14-10). Set the VSAN List, Trunk Mode, and Speed and proceed to Step 11.

Step 8
If you did not choose to dynamically form a SAN port channel, you see the third Port Channel Wizard
dialog box (see Figure 14-11).

Step 9 Change the channel ID or description for each switch, if necessary.
Step 10 Review the attributes at the bottom of the screen, and set them if applicable.
The following attributes are shown in Figure 14-11:
• VSAN List—A list of VSANs to which the ISLs belong.
• Trunk Mode—You can enable trunking on the links in the SAN port channel. Choose trunking if
your link is between TE ports. Choose nontrunking if your link is between E ports. Choose auto if
you are not sure.
• Force Admin, Trunk, Speed, and VSAN attributes to be identical—This check box ensures that the
same parameter settings are used in all physical ports in the channel. If these settings are not
identical, the ports cannot become part of the SAN port channel.
• Speed—The port speed values are auto, 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, and autoMax2G.
Step 11 Click OK.
