7. Deploy the cluster configuration by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# 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
For more information on configuring the cluster operating mode, refer to “Configuring the cluster
operation mode” on page 538.
Configuring the MCT cluster clients
To configure the MCT cluster clients as shown in Figure 93 , perform the following steps.
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. To create a cluster
client with client name client-1, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# client client-1
2. Configure the RBridge ID for the cluster so that all clients for the device can become the
members of the cluster. To configure the RBridge ID for the cluster, enter the following
command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)# rbridge-id 100
3. Create a cluster client interface. The interface can be a single link or a trunk port. If it is trunk
port, it must be the primary port of the trunk. To create a cluster client interface, enter the
following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)# client-interface ethernet 1/3
4. Deploy the cluster client. If cluster client is not deployed, the configuration will be in effect, but
the client state machine will not be calculated.
The following consistency checks for client are performed at the time of client deployment:
• Client interface is configured
• Client interface is not same as any other client interface or ICL interface
• Client RBridge ID is not same as cluster RBridge or any peer RBridge
After the client is deployed, the client configuration cannot be changed.
To deploy the client configuration, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)# deploy
Cluster client 2
To create cluster client 2 as shown in Figure 93 , perform the following steps.
