Step 1
Configure an ISL trunk.
Step 2
Verify the trunking configuration.
This example shows how to configure a port as a trunk and verify the trunk configuration. This example
assumes that the neighboring port is in auto mode:
Console> (enable) set trunk 1/1 on
Port(s) 1/1 trunk mode set to on.
Console> (enable) 06/16/1998,22:16:39:DTP-5:Port 1/1 has become isl trunk
06/16/1998,22:16:40:PAGP-5:Port 1/1 left bridge port 1/1.
06/16/1998,22:16:40:PAGP-5:Port 1/1 joined bridge port 1/1.
Console> (enable) show trunk

This example shows how to place a port in desirable mode and verify the trunk configuration. This
example assumes that the neighboring port is in auto mode:
Console> (enable) set trunk 1/2 desirable
Port(s) 1/2 trunk mode set to desirable.
Console> (enable) 06/16/1998,22:20:16:DTP-5:Port 1/2 has become isl trunk
06/16/1998,22:20:16:PAGP-5:Port 1/2 left bridge port 1/2.
06/16/1998,22:20:16:PAGP-5:Port 1/2 joined bridge port 1/2.
