Information About VSAN Trunking
VSAN trunking enable interconnected ports to transmit and receive frames in more than one VSAN. Trunking
is supported on E ports and F ports.
Beginning in Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(2)N1(1), VSAN trunking is supported on native Fibre Channel
interfaces and virtual Fibre Channel interfaces.
The VSAN trunking feature includes the following restrictions:
•
Trunking configurations are applicable only to E ports. If trunk mode is enabled in an E port and that
port becomes operational as a trunking E port, it is referred to as a TE port.
•
The trunk-allowed VSANs configured for TE ports are used by the trunking protocol to determine the
allowed-active VSANs in which frames can be received or transmitted.
•
If a trunking-enabled E port is connected to a third-party switch, the trunking protocol ensures seamless
operation as an E port.
