Section I: Basic Operations

ADD SWITCH TRUNK

Syntax

add switch trunk=

name

[tgid=

id_number

] port=

port

Parameters

trunk

Specifies the name of the static port trunk to be

modified.

tgid

Specifies the ID number of the static port trunk to be

modified. The range is 1 to 6. This parameter is
optional.

port

Specifies the port to be added to the port trunk. You can

add more than one port at a time. Port numbers are
specified in the following format:

module ID.port number

For instructions, refer to “Port Numbers in Commands”
on page 42.

Description

This command adds ports to an existing static port trunk. To initially create
a static port trunk, refer to “CREATE SWITCH TRUNK” on page 168.

Caution

Disconnect all network cables from the ports of the trunk on the
stack before using this command. Adding a port to a port trunk
without first disconnecting the cables may result in loops in your
network topology, which can produce broadcast storms and poor
network performance.

Note

If the port being added will be the lowest numbered port in the trunk,
its parameter settings will overwrite the settings of the existing ports
in the trunk. Consequently, you should check to see if its settings are
appropriate prior to adding it to the trunk. If the port will not be the
lowest numbered port, its settings are adjusted to match the settings
of the existing ports in the trunk.
