8 Administering ISL trunking
This chapter contains the following information:
• Displaying trunk group information, page 79
• Disabling or reenabling trunking mode on a port, page 80
ISL trunking optimizes network performance by forming trunking groups that can distribute traffic across a
shared bandwidth.
A trunking license is required on each switch that participates in the trunk. (For details on obtaining and
installing licensed features, see ”Maintaining licensed features” on page 47.)
For additional information about ISL Trunking, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x administrator
guide.
Use the Trunking tab of the Switch Admin module to view and manage trunks through Advanced Web
Tools (see Figure 25).
