Server Trunk Configuration
Use the Server Trunk Configuration screen to connect switches to servers that
support multiport, single-MAC, network interface controllers (NICs).
You can logically connect up to eight switch ports together to create up to four
trunks in any of the following configurations:
• One trunk -- With the trunk configured with at least two trunk members, but
not more than four.
• Two trunks -- With each trunk configured with at least two trunk members,
but not more than four.
• Three trunks -- With each trunk configured with at least two trunk members,
but not more than four; the combined trunks cannot exceed eight trunk
members (see Note).
• Four trunks -- With each trunk configured with two trunk members.
Note:
Do not use the server trunk configuration screen to create
switch-to-switch trunk links. Use the inter-switch trunk configuration screen to
create switch-to-switch trunk links (see “Inter-Switch Trunk Configuration
” on
page 1-24
).
Note:
When you create a three trunk configuration, do not configure any two
of the trunks with three trunk members. That configuration is not supported.
Note:
When you use the Server Trunk Configuration screen to connect a trunk
to a server that uses a single MAC address, set up your trunk members
according to the information provided in Appendix B, “Server/Trunk
Connections.”
