1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the trunkShow command.
The following example shows trunking groups 1, 2, and 3; ports 4, 13, and 14 are masters.
switch:admin> trunkshow
1: 6-> 4 10:00:00:60:69:51:43:04 99 deskew 15 MASTER
2: 15-> 13 10:00:00:60:69:51:43:04 99 deskew 16 MASTER
12-> 12 10:00:00:60:69:51:43:04 99 deskew 15
14-> 14 10:00:00:60:69:51:43:04 99 deskew 17
13-> 15 10:00:00:60:69:51:43:04 99 deskew 16
3: 24-> 14 10:00:00:60:69:51:42:dd 2 deskew 15 MASTER
The following example shows trunking information along with the bandwidth and throughput for all
the trunk groups in a switch.
switch:admin> trunkshow -perf

3-> 3 10:00:00:05:1e:81:56:8b 1 deskew 17
Tx: Bandwidth 4.00Gbps, Throughput 1.66Gbps (48.45%)
Rx: Bandwidth 4.00Gbps, Throughput 1.66Gbps (48.44%)

Tx+Rx: Bandwidth 8.00Gbps, Throughput 3.33Gbps (48.46%)

13->893 10:00:00:05:1e:46:42:01 3 deskew 15
Tx: Bandwidth 16.00Gbps, Throughput 1.67Gbps (12.12%)
Rx: Bandwidth 16.00Gbps, Throughput 1.66Gbps (12.11%)
Tx+Rx: Bandwidth 32.00Gbps, Throughput 3.33Gbps (12.11%)
Trunk Area and Admin Domains
Ports from different Admin Domains (ADs) are not allowed to join the same Trunk Area (TA) group. The
portTrunkArea command prevents the different ADs from joining the TA group.
When you assign a TA, the ports within the TA group have the same index. The index that was
assigned to the ports is no longer part of the switch. Any domain,index (D,I) AD that was assumed to be
part of the domain may no longer exist for that domain because it was removed from the switch.
Example of Trunk Area assignment on port domain,index
If you have AD1: 3,8; 3,9; 4,13; 4,14 and AD2: 3,10; 3,11, and then create a TA with index 8 with ports
that have index 8, 9, 10, and 11, then index 9, 10, and 11 are no longer with domain 3. This means that
AD2 does not have access to any ports because index 10 and 11 no longer exist on domain 3. This also
means that AD1 no longer has 3,9 in effect, because index 9 no longer exists for domain 3. Port 3,8,
which is the TA group, can still be seen by AD1 along with 4,13 and 4,14.
If a port within a TA is removed, the index is added back to the switch. For example, the same AD1 and
AD2 with TA 8 holds true. If you remove port 9 from the TA, it adds index 9 back to the switch. That
means port 3,9 can be seen by AD1 along with 3,8, 4,13, and 4,14.
