When referring to Ethernet, 'trunking' generally refers to a port
which can carry multiple VLANs to an adjacent device (ie. not an
access port). LACP stands for Link Aggregation Control Protocol, and
is a part of the IEEE specification for link aggregation (formerly
802.3ad, now 802.1AX-2008) whereby multiple physical ports/interfaces
(generally of the same speed) can be bundled together to form a link
whose bandwidth roughly equals the sum of the individual port speeds,
providing for (typically not 50/50) load sharing of the individual
links at layer 2.
You can typically do 'trunking' across an aggregated link (LACP) bundle.

Trunking in Brocade (Foundry) terminology refers to static LAG, similar
what Cisco calls etherchannel. Whereas lacp is the IEEE 802.3ad dynamic
LAG protocol.

Francois,

In Foundry the trunking command references link aggregation that is setup statically, and lacp references link aggreation that is configured for dynamic.
