316CHAPTER 11: TRUNKS

Procedure

To modify trunk information for a bridge, follow these steps:

1Enter the trunk index number, or to display the selectable trunks, enter ?

The system shows the media type for the trunk (for example,

Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or FDDI).

2At the prompt, enter the ports that you want to be part of the trunk, or to display a port summary, enter ?

The maximum number of ports per trunk is 8 (for the CoreBuilder 3500 and the CoreBuilder 9000 Layer 3 modules).

3To change the 10/100 operating mode, enter the new operating mode, or to display information about the selectable values, enter ?

For Fast Ethernet, you can select 100 Mbps, running in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. All ports in the trunk are set to the specified operating mode.

4To change the flow control setting for a Gigabit Ethernet trunk only, enter a new flow control setting

5To change the name of the trunk, enter the new name, or to view information on how to specify a trunk name, enter ?

The name can have up to 32 characters. Use quotation marks around any character string that has embedded spaces.

6Enter the TCMP state. The system default is enabled.

If you modified the port information, the system displays a message to inform you that the port configuration will change and then displays a reboot prompt.

7At the system prompt, to reboot the system, enter y (yes) and implement the new trunk information, or to return to the previous menu, enter

n (no).

Entering n (no) cancels the trunk changes. The system reports that it is unable to continue with the trunk configuration.
