[Anand Gopinath]

Hi Feilipon,

In our B40, we have 4G SFPs and in our DCX 4S, we have 8G SFPs.

In this scenairo, which speed setting should  i put in the ISL ports to form trunks ???

Should i put Auto or 4G ???

Hi Anand,

When it comes to ISLs and trunks, always set the port speed manually.

Hi Felipon,

We need to add Trunking License to the existing B40 switches which are live. Will adding trunking license cause the switch to be rebooted  ???

Nope, adding trunking license is fully online.

Hi Felipon,

We are using FC8-48 Blades in our DCX 4S  .

Can you please help me with the info on Port group ranges in this blade so that i can try to spread out the 2 ISLs as far as possible  ??/

I am not able to get any info on this  .
