Switch TrunksYou define static trunks in the Global config:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#trunk switch e 1 to 4Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy.Switch(config)#Configuring TrunksThe CLI is reminding you that this trunk will not be active until you deploy thetrunk. So, how do you deploy the trunk?Switch#trunk deployServer TrunksSimilar to static switch trunks, static server trunks are also configured in theGlobal config:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#trunk server e 5 to 8Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy.Switch(config)#Again, to actually activate the trunk:Switch#trunk deployIf you want to configure “per packet” load-balancing, you would configure thison the interface. You would configure the first interface in the trunk like this:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#int e 5Switch(config-if-e1000-5)#serv-trunk-per-pkt-lbIEEE 802.3ad (LACP) TrunksThese trunks are not configured at the Global config level. They are configuredat the interface level:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#int e 9Switch(config-if-e1000-9)#link-aggregate activeSwitch(config-if-e1000-9)#int e 10Switch(config-if-e1000-10)#link-aggregate activeSwitch(config-if-e1000-10)#Or, a more efficient way to do it would be:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#int e 9 to 10Switch(config-mif-9-10)#link-aggregate activeIf you would like to configure your LACP interface to be passive:Switch#conf tSwitch(config)#int e 9Switch(config-if-e1000-9)#link-aggregate passiveBrocade IP Primer 163
