BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-2)# client-interface ethernet 1/5

4. Deploy the cluster client by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-2)# deploy

Configuring the TOR-B MCT switch

To configure the TOR-B MCT switch as shown in

Figure 93

, perform the following steps.

Creating and deploying the LAGs

You must create and deploy the LAGs on the TOR-B MCT switch. In the example as shown in

Figure 93

, there are three LAGs on the TOR-B MCT switch. LAG 1 serves as an ICL link and the LAG

2 and LAG 3 are the connections from the MCT switch to the clients (access switches and server
host).

Creating LAG 1

To create LAG 1, perform the following steps.

1. Create a LAG with the LAG ID option by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config)# lag 1 dynamic id 1

2. Define the ports to be used by LAG 1 by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# ports ethernet 1/1 to 1/2

3. Assign the primary port explicitly by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# primary-port 1/1

4. Deploy LAG 1 by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# deploy

5. Assign a name to an individual port within LAG 1 by entering the following commands.

BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-A:1/1 ethernet 1/1

BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-A:1/2 ethernet 1/2

Creating LAG 2

To create LAG 2, perform the following steps.

1. Create a LAG with the LAG ID option by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config)# lag 2 dynamic id 2

2. Define the ports to be used by LAG 2 by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# ports ethernet 1/3

3. Assign the primary port explicitly by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# primary-port 1/3

4. Deploy LAG 2 by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# deploy

5. Assign a name to an individual port within LAG 2 by entering the following command.

BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-1:1/3 ethernet 1/3
