Optimizing Traffic Flow with Port Controls, Port Trunking, and Filters

Port Trunking

 

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

 

Syntax: trunk < trk1 trk2 trk3 trk4 trk5 trk6 > < trunk fec lacp > <port-list>

 

This example uses ports C4 - C6 to create a non-protocol static trunk group

 

with the group name of Trk2.

 

HPswitch(config)# trunk trk2 trunk c4-c6

 

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 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 first disable the port or disconnect the link on that port.

 

Syntax: no trunk < port-list >

 

 

This example removes ports C4 and C5 from an existing trunk group.

 

HPswitch(config)# no trunk c4-c5
