Brocade ICX: Translation From "Trunk" Commands To "Lag" Commands When Upgrading From 7.x To 8.x

When upgrading from 7.x "trunk" command to the 8.x "lag" command on the Brocade ICX series, you wonder if the commands will translate OK.  Well, I put that to the test a few days ago for a customer to verify his upgrade will go well.  He was going from 7.2 to 8.30.  Below is what I did from 7.4 to 8.30.  Notice first, on the 7.4 code, the commands "trunk" and "show trunk":

7.4 code:

trunk ethe 2/1/1 ethe 2/1/2

trunk ethe 2/1/3 ethe 2/1/4

ICX6610-24P Switch#sh trunk

Configured trunks:

Trunk ID: 257

Hw Trunk ID: 1

Ports_Configured: 2

Primary Port Monitored: Jointly

Ports   PortName Port_Status Monitor Rx_Mirr Tx_Mirr Monitor_Dir

2/1/1   none     enable      off     N/A     N/A     N/A

2/1/2   none     enable      off     N/A     N/A     N/A

Trunk ID: 259

Hw Trunk ID: 2

Ports_Configured: 2

Primary Port Monitored: Jointly

Ports   PortName Port_Status Monitor Rx_Mirr Tx_Mirr Monitor_Dir

2/1/3   none     enable      off     N/A     N/A     N/A

2/1/4   none     enable      off     N/A     N/A     N/A

Now notice on the 8.30 code the "lag" and "show lag" commands.  I did nothing for the translation, as it did it all on its own during the upgrade:

8.30 code:

lag LAG_1 static id 1

 ports ethernet 2/1/1 to 2/1/2

 primary-port 2/1/1

 deploy

lag LAG_2 static id 2

 ports ethernet 2/1/3 to 2/1/4

 primary-port 2/1/3

 deploy

ICX6610-24P Switch#sh lag

Total number of deployed LAGs: 0
