Configuring F_Port trunking for an Access Gateway

Access Gateway trunking configuration is mostly on the edge switch. On the Access Gateway module,
you only need to ensure that the Trunking license is applied and enabled.

Use the following procedure on the edge switch connected to the Access Gateway module to
configure F_Port trunking.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the portCfgShow command to ensure that the ports have trunking enabled. If trunking is not

enabled, enter the portCfgTrunkPortport1 command.

3. Enter the portDisable command for each port to be included in the TA.
4. Enter theportTrunkArea --enable command to enable the trunk area.
