switchCfgTrunk

Enables or disables trunking on all the ports of a switch.

Synopsis

switchcfgtrunk mode

Description

Use this command to enable or disable trunking on all the ports of a switch. Use portCfgTrunkPort
to enable or disable trunking on a single port.

When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the ports to which the
configuration applies are disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking
configuration. Traffic through these ports may be temporarily disrupted. The command issues a
message that lists the VE/VEX_Ports to which the configuration does not apply.

Trunking on Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports is always enabled and cannot be turned off by this
command.

Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command
to disable the TA on all ports before disabling trunking.

Notes

Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
