Changes a trunk in either of two ways:

■Modifies a trunk’s characteristics (for example, a Fast Ethernet operating mode or the Trunk Control Message Protocol (TCMP) state).

■Adds or removes a port from the trunk, as long as you maintain at least one of the original ports in the trunk.

Important Considerations

■Keep at least one port that you defined in the original trunk. To completely redefine a trunk configuration, remove the trunk and define a new one.

■You cannot modify, add, or remove ports that are part of different trunks from the trunk that you are modifying.

■To avoid configuration errors, do not modify Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) station mode port pairs when any of the ports in the pair are members of a trunk.

■If you have more than one media type on your system (for example, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet), you are prompted for a media type before you are prompted for the trunk information.

■Any changes that you make to the trunk’s characteristics take effect immediately and do not interrupt trunk operations. If you add or remove a port, however, you must reboot the system to implement the change.
