Configuring Trunk Groups and Dynamic Link Aggregation
December 2005
© Foundry Networks, Inc.
10 - 9
For example, to configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of ports, 1/1 – 1/4 on module 1 and 4/5 – 4/8 on
module 4, enter the following commands:
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/4 ethernet 4/5 to 4/8
FastIron SuperX Router(config-trunk-1/1-4/8)# write memory
FastIron SuperX Router(config-trunk-1/1-4/8)# exit
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# trunk deploy
NOTE:
The
trunk deploy
command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
CLI Syntax
Syntax:
[no] trunk ethernet [<slotnum>/]<primary-portnum> to [<slotnum>/]<portnum> [ethernet [<slotnum>/
]<primary-portnum>
Syntax:
trunk deploy
Each
ethernet
parameter introduces a port group. Enter the slot number (if applicable) and the port number of the
Ethernet port.
The <slotnum> parameter is required on chassis devices.
The <primary-portnum>
to
<portnum> parameters specify a port group. Notice that each port group must begin
with a primary port. After you enter this command, the primary port of the first port group specified (which must be
the group with the lower port numbers) becomes the primary port for the entire trunk group.
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of two ports each, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 ethernet 3/3 to 3/4
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# write memory
FastIron SuperX Router(config)# trunk deploy
Notice that the groups of ports meet the criteria for a multi-slot trunk group. Each group contains the same
number of ports (two) and begins on a primary port (1/1 and 3/3).
Additional Trunking Options
The CLI contains commands for doing the following:
•
Naming a trunk port
•
Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
•
Deleting a trunk group
Naming a Trunk Port
To name an individual port in a trunk group, enter a command such as the following at the trunk group
configuration level:
FastIron SuperX Router(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)# port-name customer1 ethernet 4/2
Syntax:
[no] port-name <text> ethernet [<slotnum>/]<portnum>
The <text> parameter specifies the port name. The name can be up to 50 characters long.
The <slotnum> parameter is required for chassis devices.
This command assigns the name “customer1” to port 4/2 in the trunk group consisting of ports 4/1 – 4/4.
Disabling or Re-Enabling a Trunk Port
You can disable or re-enable individual ports in a trunk group. To disable an individual port in a trunk group, enter
commands such as the following at the trunk group configuration level:
FastIron SuperX Router(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)# config-trunk-ind
