•
Port group 0: ports 0–7
•
Port group 1: ports 8–15
Following are the requirements for forming trunk groups:
•
All ports in a trunk group must belong to the same port group. For example, to form an 8-port trunk select all eight ports
from port group 0 or port group 1. You cannot use ports from each port group for the trunk.
•
You can use from 1 to 8 ports in a port group to form a trunk.
•
Ports must be running at the same speed.
•
Ports must be configured for the same distance.
•
Ports must have the same encryption, compression, QoS, and FEC settings.
•
Trunk groups must be created between Brocade switches (or Brocade adapters in the case of F_Port trunking).
Brocade trunking is proprietary and is not supported on M-EOS or third-party switches.
•
There must be a direct connection between participating switches.
For full details on trunking requirements and configuration, refer to the
Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide

Blade-Specific Precautions
This document describes how to remove and replace a port or extension blade.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing device blades and cards. Follow
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the chassis is
plugged in) or a bench ground.
•
Install port and extension blades only in slots 3–6 and 9–12. Slots 7 and 8 are reserved for CR64-8 blades. These
blades cannot be installed in other slots as guide pins and connectors in each slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive
devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the
electrical contacts to ground surface.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a slot using the
ejector handles.
Faulty Blade Indicators
Confirm that you need to replace the blade before continuing. The following events may indicate that a blade is faulty:
•
The status LED on the blade is lit steady amber, or the power LED is not illuminated.
•
The
slotShow
command does not show that the blade is enabled.
•
The
errShow
command displays error log messages one at a time.
•
Any of the following messages display in the error log or "show" command output:
