ISL Trunking
HPE ISL Trunking is optional software, requiring a license, that allows you to create trunking groups of
ISLs between adjacent switches. Up to eight FC ports on the StoreFabric SN6500B 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 more information about ISL Trunking, see the Fabric OS
