to this trunkport.

At start-up, the usage type of all trunkports is free and is in

deactivated state.

Understanding Trunkport States

The color scheme differentiates the trunkport states. The

following colors are associated with the trunkport states:

• Green: Trunkport is activated and enabled.

• Blue: Trunkport is activated but disabled.

• Red: Trunkport is deactivated and disabled.

You can only activate or deactivate a trunkport but you

cannot enable or disable the trunkport. When you activate a

trunkport from OMC, only the activation process is

performed. The enabling or disabling process is carried out

by BSC internally. Therefore, there may be a case, when

you activate a trunkport but the status still shows activated

and disabled for a trunkport (in blue color).

LNote: Some trunkport numbers are displayed in grey

color, which indicates they are physically absent and you

cannot perform any action on them.

3.3.2 Locking/Unlocking Trunk

You can lock a trunk only if it is unlocked. Similarly, you can

unlock a trunk only if it is in locked state.

Perform the below steps to lock/unlock a trunk:

1. Open the BSS node in the modify mode.

2. Expand Inventory, expand Hardware, and click Chassis.

3. Click the Trunk Config tab.
