Port Trunking

CLI: Viewing and Configuring Port Trunk Groups

 

Configuring a Static Trunk or Static LACP Trunk Group.

 

Syntax: trunk < port-list> < trk1 ... trk24 > < trunk lacp >

 

Configures the specified static trunk type.

 

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 Trkx 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.

 

Syntax: no trunk < port-list >

 

 

Removes the specified ports from an existing trunk group.

 

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.
