Port Trunking

CLI: Viewing and Configuring Port Trunk Groups

Configuring a Static Trunk or Static LACP Trunk Group.

Syntax: trunk < port-list > < trk1 ... trk24 > < trunk | lacp >

Configures the specified static trunk type.

This example uses ports C4 - C6 to create a non-protocol static trunk group
with the group name of

Trk2.

ProCurve(config)# trunk c4-c6 trk2 trunk

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 create a loop and cause a broadcast storm.
When you remove a port from a trunk where spanning tree is not in use,
ProCurve recommends that you first disable the port or disconnect the link
on that port.

Syntax: no trunk < port-list >

Removes the specified ports from an existing trunk group.

For example, to remove ports C4 and C5 from an existing trunk group.

ProCurve(config)# no trunk c4-c5

Enabling a Dynamic LACP Trunk Group.

In the default port configura­

tion, all ports on the switch are set to disabled. To enable the switch to
automatically form a trunk group that is dynamic on both ends of the link, the
ports on one end of a set of links must be LACP

Active. The ports on the other

end can be either LACP

Active or LACP Passive. The active command enables

the switch to automatically establish a (dynamic) LACP trunk group when the
device on the other end of the link is configured for LACP

Passive.
