portCfgTrunkPort
Enables or disables trunking on a port.
Synopsis portcfgtrunkport [slot/]port[,] mode
Description Use this command to enable or disable trunking on a port. Use switchCfgTrunk to enable or disable
trunking on all ports of a switch.
When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the port to which the
configuration applies is disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration.
Traffic through the ports may be temporarily disrupted.
Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command
to remove the TA before disabling trunking.
Notes Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
portnumber Specify a port number to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems.
Use switchShow to display a list of valid ports.
portnumber-portnumber
Specify a port range, for example 5/3-7. Ports in a range must be separated
by a dash ("-"). Spaces between the dash and the ports are not allowed. You
can specify multiple port ranges or combine a range of ports with one or more
single ports.
mode Specify 1 to enable trunking on the specified port. Specify 0 to disable
trunking on the port. This operand is required.
