Trunking distances
Enhanced trunking support for switches with Condor ASICs is summarized in Table 83.
Enhanced trunking support for the FC4-48 port blade in the 4/256 SAN Director is summarized in
Table 84.
Troubleshooting trunking problems
If you have difficulty with trunking, try the solutions in this section.
Listing link characteristics
If a link that is part of an ISL Trunk fails, use the trunkDebug command to troubleshoot the problem,
as shown in the following procedure.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the following command:
trunkDebug port, port
The trunkDebug command displays the possible reason that two ports cannot be trunked. Possible
reasons are:
• The switch does not support trunking.
• A trunking license is required.
• Trunking is not supported in switch interoperability mode.
