About Trunk Modes

By default, trunk mode is enabled on all Fibre Channel interfaces (Mode: E, F, FL, Fx, ST, and SD) on
non-NPV switches. On NPV switches, by default, trunk mode is disabled. You can configure trunk mode
as on (enabled), off (disabled), or auto (automatic). The trunk mode configuration at the two ends of an
ISL, between two switches, determine the trunking state of the link and the port modes at both ends (see
