Figure 5-3: Supported and Unsupported Trunked Ports
Configuration on Switch and Storage
Limitations [Conditions and/or limitation]
1. Aggregation interfaces must be connected in the same
network, often the same Ethernet switch, limiting the physical
isolation of the multiple paths.
2. Trunking implementation is dependent on having aggregation-
capable devices and switches.
3. All ports can be trunked into a single IP, or several IPs. For
example, there are 4 GbE ports in iSCSI storage system and
user can configure those 4 ports into a single IP, or two IPs
each by trunking two physical ports. Trunked ports
combinations can be 4, 2+2, or 3+1.
4. If a trunk configuration is not valid, firmware will report a trunk
failure event. For example, with 4 GbE ports into a trunk on an
iSCSI storage system, while the corresponding ports on GbE
switch are not trunked. If so, the trunking configuration is not
completed and another event will prompt. Users should
configure switch settings and reboot iSCSI storage system
again.
5.
Requirements on system reset after making changes to trunk
configuration:
a. Create new trunk groups or change member ports
b. Change trunk group ID
c. Change IP address: Reset (as usual, both iSCSI host
ports and the 10/100BaseT mgmt. port)
6. Trunking and iSCSI MC/S (Multiple Connections per Session):
6-1. Configure port trunking before MC/S configuration.
6-2. If there are any configured MC/S groups when creating
IP trunking, remove those MC/S groups.
