Chapter 5 Configuring Trunking

Configuring Trunking

Enabling the F Port Trunking and Channeling Protocol

This section describes how to enable the F port trunking and channeling protocol.

Prerequisites

To avoid inconsistent configurations, shut all ports before enabling or disabling the trunking protocols.

Detailed Steps

To enable or disable the F port trunking and channeling protocol, follow these steps:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

switch# config tasf

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

switch(config)# feature fport-channel-trunk

Enables the F port trunking and channeling

 

switch(config)#

protocol (default).

 

 

 

 

switch(config)# no feature fport-channel-trunk

Disables the F port trunking and channeling

 

switch(config)#

protocol.

 

 

 

Configuring Trunk Mode

Detailed Steps

 

To configure trunk mode, follow these steps:

 

 

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

switch# config t

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

switch(config)# interface fc1/1

Configures the specified interface.

 

switch(config-if)#

 

Step 3

 

 

switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode on

Enables (default) the trunk mode for the

 

 

specified interface.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode off

Disables the trunk mode for the specified

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#switchport trunk mode auto

Configures the trunk mode to auto mode, which

 

 

provides automatic sensing for the interface.
