The <text> parameter is an alphanumeric string. The name can have up to 255 characters on
a device and can include blanks. You do not need to use quotation marks around the string,
even when it contains blanks.
Adding a virtual interface
Add a virtual interface and configure an IP address on the interface by entering commands
such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ve 100
Brocade(config-vif-100)# ip address 1.1.1.1/24
Syntax: [no] interface [ve <ve-id>]
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
The <ve-id> variable allows you to specify a VE interface ID.
Configuring the cluster operation mode
See Figure 176 and “Creating LAG-1” .
1. To configure a device with cluster id 1, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)# cluster TOR 1
Syntax: [no] cluster
<
cluster-name> <cluster-id>
The <cluster-name> parameters specify the cluster name with a limit of 64 characters.
The <cluster-id> parameters specify the cluster ID (1-65535).
2. Configure the local RBridge ID for the cluster. This RBridge ID is used by the peer to
communicate with this cluster node and to define CCEPs. The RBridge ID needs to be unique
across the cluster and unique between MCT peer Bridge IDs as well as cluster client instances.
To configure the local rbridge, enter a command such as following
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)#rbridge-id 1
Syntax: [no] rbridge-id <id>
The <id> parameters specify the remote bridge id. Possible values are 1 - 35535 (16 bit value).
3. The cluster session VLAN can be in the range 1-4090, but it cannot be the default VLAN. A
check is made during the cluster deploy in addition to a dynamic check. The default VLAN
cannot be changed to a VLAN which is already defined as cluster session. Note: ICL ports must
be tagged within the session VLAN. Enter a command such as the following to create the
session VLAN.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# session-vlan 4090
Syntax: [no] session-vlan <vlan-id>
The <vlan-id> parameters specify the VLAN range. Possible values are 1 - 4090.
4. Specify the VLAN range on which cluster is operating. This would be the range for which there
would be MAC synchronization. Multiple VLAN ranges would be supported for the
configuration. Enter a command such as the following to create the member VLAN.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# member-vlan 2
Syntax: [no] member-vlan <x> [to <y>]
