Brocade(config)# interface ve 100
Brocade(config-vif-100)# ip address 1.1.1.2/24
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
The cluster can be deployed separately without any client configured. When the cluster is deployed,
it will check all the deployed clients and start the state machine for the clients. See
Figure 176 .
1. Configure one cluster ID or name on the device so that all route-reflector clients for the device
become members of the cluster. To configure a device with cluster ID 1, enter the following
command.
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). The default is the device ID.
2. Configure the remote bridge ID cluster on the device so all clients for the device become
members of the cluster.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)#rbridge-id 2
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 is in range 1-4090 but cannot be default VLAN. A check is made
during the cluster deploy and in addition to a dynamic check. The default VLAN cannot be
changed to a VLAN which is already defined as cluster session
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# session-vlan 4090
Syntax: [no] session-vlan <vlan-d>
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>
NOTE
The VLAN range is allowed to change even if cluster is deployed.
The new VLAN range will over-ride the previous configured range.
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.
