NOTE
The VLAN range is allowed to change even if cluster is deployed.
5. Specify the ICL for the cluster.The ICL interface can be a single link or trunk port. If it is a trunk
port, it should be the primary port of the trunk . Only one ICL is supported. Enter a command
such as the following to create the ICL for the cluster.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)#icl TOR ethernet 1/1
Syntax: [no] icl <icl-name> ethernet x/y
The <icl-name> parameter can be up to 64 characters in length.
The ethernet x/y parameter is the ICL interface.
6. Specify the rbridge and ICL for the peers by entering a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# peer 1.1.1.2 rbridge-id 2 icl TOR
Syntax: [no] peer <peer-ip> rbridge-id <peer-rbridge> icl <map-icl>
The< peer-ip >parameter should be in same subnet as that of cluster management interface.
The <peer-rbridge> parameter should be different from cluster rbridge and any other client in
the cluster
The <map-icl> parameter is the ICL name to reach this cluster peer.
7. The cluster can be deployed separately without any clients configured. The deploy command
brings the cluster into effect. The following can be changed when the cluster is deployed:
• Client isolation mode
• Member VLANs
• Clients added and removed.
8. The deploy command also preforms a consistency check of the entire cluster configuration. If
anything is amiss, an error message is sent.The following specific information is checked
during deployment:
• If the cluster management VLAN is configured
• If the cluster peer is configured
• If the cluster ICL is configured
Enter a command such as the following to deploy the cluster configuration.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# deploy
Syntax: [no] deploy
