Syntax: [no] icl <icl-name> ethernet x/y
The <icl-name> parameter can be 64 characters (maximum).
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 1.1.1.1 rbridge-id 1 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. Clusters can be deployed separately without any client configured. The deploy command
brings the cluster into effect. Once the cluster is deployed, the configuration inside the cluster
can not be changed. The deploy command also preforms a consistency check of the entire
cluster configuration. If anything is amiss, an error message is sent.The specific information
checked during deploy:
• 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
Create cluster client 1
1. Create a cluster client instance and change the mode to the client instance. If an instance is
already present, then directly change the mode to client instance mode.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# client client-1
Syntax: [no] client <client-name>
The <client-name> parameter can be 64 characters (maximum).
If it is a two port MCT, the maximum clients supported on the Brocade NetIron XMR or Brocade
MLX series is 1536/2.
If it is a two port MCT, the maximum clients supported on the Brocade NetIron CES or Brocade
NetIron CER system is 50/2.
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-client-1)#rbridge-id 100
Syntax: [no] rbridge-id <id>
The <id> parameters specify the remote bridge id. Possible values are 1 - 35535 (16 bit value).
3. Create a cluster client interface. The interface can be a single link or trunk port. If it is trunk
port, it should be the primary port of the trunk .
