Deleting a Port Trunk
Caution
Disconnect the cables from the port trunk on the switch before
performing the following procedure. Removing a port trunk
without first disconnecting the cables can create loops in your
network topology. Data loops can result in broadcast storms and
poor network performance.
To delete a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type A to select Advanced Switch
Configuration.
2. From the Advanced Switch Configuration Menu, type T to select
Trunk Configuration.
The Port Trunking menu in Figure 20 on page 69 is displayed.
3. Type I to choose Select Stack ID and enter the ID number of the switch
in the stack where you want to delete the port trunk. (You can skip
this step to delete a port trunk on the master switch, since the master
switch is selected by default.)
4. From the Trunk Configuration Menu, type R to select Remove Trunk
Member.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter trunk group number->
5. Enter the port trunk group for the port(s) you want to remove from
the trunk.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter port members (up to 4 ports) for trunk 1>
6. Enter the ports of the port trunk that you want to delete.You can
specify the ports individually (e.g., 1,2,3,4) or as a range (e.g., 7-10).
Press Enter.
Note
You must remove all port members of a port trunk from their trunk
group in order to fully delete the port trunk. You can also disable the
trunk group, but this will not remove the port members from the
port trunk and may cause data loops in your network.
7. The port trunk members are deleted from the port trunk group. The
Trunk Configuration Menu is updated immediately.
