Configuring a trunk group
Syntax: [no] trunk ethernet to [ethernet to
]
Syntax: trunk deploy
Each ethernet parameter introduces a port group. Enter the slot number (if applicable) and the port
number of the Ethernet port.
The to parameters specify a port group. Notice that each port
group must begin with a primary port. After you enter this command, the primary port of the first
port group specified (which must be the group with the lower port numbers) becomes the primary
port for the entire trunk group.
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of two ports each, enter commands such as the
following.
TurboIron(config)#trunk ethernet 1 to 2 ethernet 3 to 4
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
TurboIron(config)#write memory
TurboIron(config)#trunk deploy
Example 1: Configuring the trunk groups shown in Figure 75
To configure the trunk groups shown in Figure 28 , enter the following commands. Notice that the
commands are entered on multiple devices.
To configure the trunk group link between device1 and the device,enter the following commands.
NOTE
The text shown in italics in the CLI example below shows messages echoed to the screen in answer
to the CLI commands entered.
TurboIron(config)#trunk e 5 to 8
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
TurboIron(config)#write memory
TurboIron(config)#trunk deploy
To configure the trunk group link between device2 and the server,enter the following commands
TurboIron(config)#trunk e 2 to 4
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
TurboIron(config)#write memory
TurboIron(config)#trunk deploy
You then configure the trunk group on the device.
TurboIron(config)#trunk ethernet 17 to 18
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
TurboIron(config)#write memory
TurboIron(config)#trunk deploy
NOTE
The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
