F_Port masterless trunking

FIGURE 69 Switch in Access Gateway mode without F_Port trunking
FIGURE 70 Switch in Access Gateway mode with F_Port masterless trunking
NOTE
You do not need to manually map the host to the master port because Access Gateway will perform
a cold failover to the master port.
To implement F_Port masterless trunking, you must first configure an F_Port trunk group and
statically assign an Area_ID within the trunk group. Assigning a Trunk Area (TA) to a port or trunk
group enables F_Port masterless trunking on that port or trunk group.
F_Port masterless trunking considerations
Table 87 describes the F_Port trunking considerations.
