Issue

A trunk on the ISLs of a Brocade switch in a MetroCluster backend does not form correctly
Common Issue: The trunk does not form when attempting to create it on Brocade switches:

The trunkshow output is similar to the following:
switch01:admin> trunkshow 1: 10-> 10 10:00:50:eb:1a:20:83:96 5 deskew 15 MASTER 2: 11-> 11 10:00:50:eb:1a:20:83:96 5 deskew 16 MASTER

On a correctly formed trunk, the output is similar to this:

switch01:admin> trunkshow

1: 10-> 10 10:00:50:eb:1a:20:83:96 5 deskew 15 MASTER

11-> 11 10:00:50:eb:1a:20:83:96 5 deskew 16
