Port Trunking
CLI: Viewing and Configuring Port Trunk Groups
Configuring a Static Trunk or Static LACP Trunk Group.
This example uses ports C4 - C6 to create a non-protocol static trunk group
with the group name of
Trk2
.
ProCurve(config)# trunk c4-c6 trk2 trunk
Removing Ports from a Static Trunk Group.
This command removes
one or more ports from an existing
Trk
x
trunk group.
C a u t i o n
Removing a port from a trunk can create a loop and cause a broadcast storm.
When you remove a port from a trunk where spanning tree is not in use,
ProCurve recommends that you first disable the port or disconnect the link
on that port.
For example, to remove ports C4 and C5 from an existing trunk group.
ProCurve(config)# no trunk c4-c5
Enabling a Dynamic LACP Trunk Group.
In the default port configura-
tion, all ports on the switch are set to disabled. To enable the switch to
automatically form a trunk group that is dynamic on both ends of the link, the
ports on one end of a set of links must be LACP
Active
. The ports on the other
end can be either LACP
Active
or LACP
Passive
. The
active
command enables
the switch to automatically establish a (dynamic) LACP trunk group when the
device on the other end of the link is configured for LACP
Passive
.
Syntax:
trunk <
port-list
> < trk1 ... trk60 > < trunk | lacp >
Configures the specified static trunk type.
Syntax:
no trunk
< port-list >
