Displaying trunking information

The

trunkShow

command offers an efficient means of listing all the trunks and members of a trunk. You

can easily discover the peer ports for disabling a port, disconnecting a port, or adding additional

members. Viewing trunks is also useful for when you want to ensure that trunks are formed correctly.
Use the

trunkShow

command to display the following information about ISL trunking groups:

Number identifier.

Port-to-port connections, listed in the following format:

local_port_number ->

remote_port_number

.

WWNs of the remote switches.

Deskew values (the time difference, in nanoseconds divided by 10, for traffic to travel over each ISL as

compared to the shortest ISL in the group). The system sets the minimum deskew value of the shortest

ISL to 15.

Master ports.

trunk. (For details on this parameter, see
