ISL Trunking
ISL Trunking is optional software that enables creating trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent
switches. Up to eight FC ports on the SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch can be used as a trunking group to
achieve speeds of up to 128 Gb/s (256 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load
balancing.
For example, the FC ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded in groups
of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunking groups. Figure 8: HPE SN3000B 16Gb FC
Switch trunking groups example on page 20 shows the switch with three trunking groups of eight
ports.
NOTE:
If your switch is licensed for ISL Trunking, use the trunking groups available on the switch.
