254 XPath OS CLI commands

Turns on trunking.

Synopsis

trunkset

Availability

admin

Description

Use this command to allow dynamic exchange-level trunking across all available E_Port links to reach the

next hop. If trunking is enabled, all E_Ports to a given next hop domain are automatically added to the

trunk route. Each trunk route can have a maximum of 16 E_Ports.

With trunking enabled, for each frame received at the port, the exit port to use to route the frame is

selected based on:

((dest_id + src_id + ox_id) % num_routes_in_trunk)

Trunking is turned off by default. To turn on trunking, enter the trunkset command after installing the

XPath Exchange-Based Trunking license. Trunking overrides the dynamic load sharing setting (dlsSet).
