Configuring MCT

NOTE
The ICL ports must be tagged within the session VLAN.
4. Specify the VLAN range for the cluster to be used for MAC synchronization. Multiple VLAN
ranges are supported for the configuration. To create a member VLAN, enter the following
command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# member-vlan 2
Syntax: [no] member-vlan <x> to <y>
The <x> and <y> variables specify the VLAN range.
NOTE
The VLAN range is allowed to change even if the cluster is deployed.
5. Specify the ICL for the cluster. The ICL interface can be a single link or a trunk port. If it is a
trunk port, it must be the primary port of the trunk . Only one ICL is supported. To create an ICL
for the cluster, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# icl TOR ethernet 1/1
Syntax: [no] icl <icl-name> ethernet <x/y>
The <icl-name> variable specifies the name of the ICL and can be up to 64 characters in
length.
The ethernet <x/y> parameter specifies the ICL interface.
6. Specify the RBridge and ICL for the peers by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(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> variable must be in the same subnet as that of cluster management interface.
The <peer-rbridge> variable must be different from the cluster RBridge and any other client in
the cluster.
The <map-icl> variable specifies the ICL name to reach the cluster peer.
7. Deploy the cluster configuration by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# deploy
Syntax: [no] deploy
The cluster can be deployed separately without any clients configured, using the deploy
command. After the cluster is deployed, the cluster configuration cannot be changed. The
deploy command also performs a following consistency check during cluster deployment and
sents an error message if there is any change in the cluster configuration.
• If the cluster management VLAN is configured
• If the cluster peer is configured
• If the cluster ICL is configured
Configuring the MCT cluster clients
To configure the MCT cluster clients as shown in Figure 93 , perform the following steps.
