ADD SWITCH TRUNK
Syntax
add switch trunk=name port=port
Parameters
trunk Specifies the name of the port trunk to be modified.
port Specifies the port to be added to the port trunk. You
can add more than one port at a time. You can specify
the ports individually (for example, 5,7,22), as a range
(for example, 18-20), or both (for example, 1,14-16).
Description
This command adds ports to an existing port trunk. To view the trunks
on a switch, refer to SHOW SWITCH TRUNK on page 193. To initially
create a port trunk, refer to CREATE SWITCH TRUNK on page 188.
Caution
Disconnect all data cables from the ports of the trunk on the switch
before using this command. Adding a port to a port trunk without
first disconnecting the cables may result in loops in your network
topology, which can produce broadcast storms and poor network
performance.
Note
If the port you are adding will be the lowest numbered port in the
trunk, its parameter settings will overwrite the settings of the
existing ports in the trunk. Consequently, you should check to see
that its settings are appropriate prior to adding it to the trunk. If the
port will not be the lowest numbered port, then its settings are
changed to match the settings of the existing ports in the trunk.
Example
The following command adds port 5 to a port trunk called load22:
add switch trunk=load22 port=5
