Administer ISL trunking

Interswitch link (ISL) trunking optimizes network performance by forming trunking groups that can

distribute traffic across shared bandwidth. You use the Trunking tab of the Web Tools Switch Admin

module (Figure 104) to view and manage trunks.

From the Trunking tab, you can:

• Display trunk group information

• Disable or re-enable the trunk mode on a port

For more information on the Trunking tab and performing these tasks, see the Web Tools

Administrator’s Guide.

To view and manage trunks, right-click a switch and choose Trunking Details from the context

menu.

Administer license keys

This section describes how to use Fabric Manager to administer the license keys that are required

to use different Fabric OS features.

You can use Fabric Manager to display, store, load, and reload your license keys in the event of a

switch failure.
