HP Core Switch - How To Set Up New Trunk?

[JRA]

Hi all - very much 'green' to this, and fairly nervous of wrecking my core switch config.

 

What I want to do is set up a new trunk (four ports using LACP for a new file server) and assign some VLANs to that trunk. I've read the odd article about that this afternoon, but to be honest I'd REALLY appreciate a bit of hand-holding on it if anyone has chance.

 

Mainly I'm wondering how to show the names of existing trunks, so I don't accidentally pick one that's already in use.

 

The ports I've got also aren't sequential, and spread over a couple of 24-port copper modules in my 5412zl.

 

Anyone have a mo? Huge thanks for any and everything!

No problem - to show your trunks:

 

From the cli - do a "conf t", then "show trunk"

 

This will list all the existing trunks.

 

Then to create a new trunk "trunk a1,b1,c1,d1 Trk4 LACP"

 

This will create an LACP trunk called "Trk4", of which ports A1, B1, C1, and D1 are members. It doesn't matter whether the ports are sequential or not.

That's just perfect thanks so so much!

No worries - shout if you need anything else!

There is no problem to show the names of existing trunks as pantscat says. Have you worked it out?

Hi - yes I did thanks. You can also see them from right at the bottom of the vlan port assignment menu along with their associated vlans as I found (never been that far down that page!)

 

Ta both.
