Port trunking example
In this example, the 10 Gigabit uplink ports on each switch are configured into a total of four trunk
groups: two on each switch.
NOTE:
The actual mapping of switch ports to NIC interfaces is dependant on the operating system
software, the type of server blade, and the enclosure type. For more information, see the HP 10Gb
Ethernet BL-c Switch User Guide.
Figure 1
Port trunk group configuration example
The trunk groups are configured as follows:
Trunk groups 2-5 consist of two 10 Gigabit uplink ports each, configured to act as a single link to the
upstream routers. The trunk groups on each switch are configured so that there is a link to each router for
redundancy.
Prior to configuring each switch in this example, you must connect to the appropriate switch CLI as the
administrator. For details about accessing and using any of the commands described in this example, see
the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference.
