EMC Connectrix B Series DS-300B Hardware Reference Manual
Introducing the Connectrix DS-300B
ISL trunking groups
The DS-300B supports Interswitch Link (ISL) Trunking as a licensed
feature. When this feature is enabled, you can create Trunked groups
of up to 8 contiguous ports. This means that you can create up to
three trunked groups that contain 8 ports each.
The Fibre Channel ports on the DS-300B are numbered from left to
right and color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports
you can combine into trunked groups.
Figure 2 illustrates a DS-300B with three Trunked groups of 8 ports.

Note: ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking
groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about
trunking, refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
