F_Port masterless trunking
19
F_Port trunking prevents reassignments of the Port ID (also referred to as the Address Identifier as
described in
Table 90 on page 438) when F_Ports go offline and it increases F_Port bandwidth.
F_Port masterless trunking interoperates between AG 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps-based
platforms. This feature does not work on M-EOS or third party switches.
Figure 66 shows a switch in
AG mode without F_Port masterless trunking. Figure 67 shows a switch in AG mode with F_Port
masterless trunking.
