The following table shows an example of the Address Identifier.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Disable the ports to be included in the TA.
3. Enable TA for ports 13 and 14 on slot 10 with port index of 125:
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --enable 10/13-14 -index 125
Trunk index 125 enabled for ports 10/13 and 10/14
4. Show the TA port configuration (ports still disabled):
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --show enabled
Slot Port Type State Master TI DI
-------------------------------------------
10 13 -- -- -- 125 125
10 14 -- -- -- 125 126
-------------------------------------------
5. Enable ports 13 and 14:
switch:admin> portenable 10/13
switch:admin> portenable 10/14
6. Show the TA port configuration after enabling the ports:
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --show enabled
Slot Port Type State Master TI DI
-------------------------------------------
10 13 F-port Master 10/13 125 125
10 14 F-port Slave 10/13 125 126
Enabling the DCC policy on trunk
1. After you assign a Trunk Area, the porttrunkarea CLI checks whether there are any active DCC
policies on the port with the index TA, and then issues a warning to add all the device WWNs to
the existing DCC policy with index as TA.
All DCC policies that refer to an Index that no longer exist will not be in effect.
2. Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA.
3. Issue the secpolicyactivate command to activate the DCC policy.
You must enable the TA before issuing the secpolicyactivate command in order for security to
enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports.
4. Turn on the trunk ports.
Trunk ports should be turned on after issuing the secpolicyactivate command to prevent the
ports from becoming disabled in the case where there is a DCC security policy violation.
