Optimizing Port Usage Through Traffic Control and Port Trunking

Port Trunking

You can configure trunk group types as follows:

Trunk Type

Trunk Group Membership

 

Trk1 (Static)

Dyn1 (Dynamic)

 

 

 

LACP

Yes

Yes

Trunk

Yes

No

FEC

Yes

No

 

 

 

The following examples show how to create different types of trunk groups. However, the Switches 2512 and 2524 allow only one trunk group at any time.

Configuring a Static Trunk, Static FEC, or Static LACP Trunk Group.

Syntax: trunk trk1 <trunk fec lacp> <port-list>

This example uses ports 5-8 to create a non-protocol static trunk group.

HP2512(config)# trunk trk1 trunk 5-8

Removing Ports from a Static Trunk Group. This command removes one or more ports from an existing Trk1 trunk group.

Removing a port from a trunk can result in a loop and cause a broadcast storm. When you remove a port from a trunk where STP is not in use, HP recommends that you disable the port or disconnect the link on that port.

Syntax: no trunk <port-list>

This example removes ports 7 and 8 from an existing trunk group.

HP2512(config)# no trunk 7-8
