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

Port Trunking

 

Removing Ports from an Dynamic LACP Trunk Group. To remove a

 

port from dynamic LACP trunk operation, you must turn off LACP on the port.

 

(On a port in an operating, dynamic LACP trunk, you cannot change between

 

LACP Active and LACP passive without first removing LACP operation from

 

the port.)

 

 

C a u t i o n

Unless STP is running on your network, removing a port from a trunk can

 

result in a loop. To help prevent 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 interface <port-list>lacp

 

 

In this example, port C6 belongs to an operating, dynamic LACP trunk. To

 

remove port C6 from the dynamic trunk and return it to passive LACP, you

 

would do the following:

 

HPswitch>(config)# no interface c6 lacp

 

HPswitch>(config)# interface c6 lacp passive

 

Note that in the above example, if the port on the other end of the link is

 

configured for active LACP or static LACP, the trunked link will be re-

 

established almost immediately.

Web: Viewing Existing Port Trunk Groups

While the web browser interface does not enable you to configure a port trunk group, it does provide a view of an existing trunk group.
