Chapter 9: Static Port Trunking Commands

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. 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. You can specify the
ports individually (for example, 5,7,22), as a range (for
example, 18-20), or both (for example, 1,14-16).
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 129.
Caution
Disconnect all data cables from the ports of the trunk on the switch
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 you are adding 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 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, then its settings are changed to match the
settings of the existing ports in the trunk.
Example
The following command adds port 5 to a port trunk called load22:
add switch trunk=load22 port=5
