Trunk Group Rules
•
Table 10.2 lists the maximum number of trunk groups you can configure on a Foundry FastIron device and the
valid number of ports in a trunk group.
•
You cannot configure a port as a member of a trunk group if 802.3ad link aggregation is enabled on the port.
•
Unlike the FES and other Foundry devices, trunk groups on the FESX, FSX, and FWSX are not classified as
switch trunk groups or server trunk groups.
•
Table 10.2 lists the maximum number of trunk groups you can configure on a FESX, FSX, and FWSX, and the
valid number of ports in a trunk group.
•
Multi-slot trunk groups are supported only on FSX devices.
•
Although the FESX, FSX, and FWSX devices have port ranges, they do not apply to trunk groups.
•
You can select any port to be the primary port of the trunk group.
•
You cannot combine Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports in the same trunk group.
•
Port assignment on a module must be contiguous. The port range on the module cannot contain gaps. For
example, you can configure ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on a module together as a trunk group but not ports 1, 3, and
4 (excluding 2).
