Step 3: Configure the cluster

Cluster local configuration uses the cluster ID and RBridgeID for the local switch or router.

Syntax: [no] cluster [ cluster-name ] cluster-id

Syntax: [no] rbridge-id id

Configuration of the peer device involves the peer's IP address, RBridgeID, and ICL specification. The
cluster-name variable is optional; the device auto-generates the cluster name as CLUSTER-X when
only the cluster ID is specified. The cluster-id variable must be the same on both cluster devices.

Syntax: [no] peer peer-ip rbridge-id peer-rbridge icl map-icl

The RBridgeID must be different from the cluster RBridge and any other client in the cluster. The MCT
member VLAN is defined as any VLAN of which the ICL is a member.

To configure Brocade-1 for the cluster in the topology of

Figure 31

on page 165, enter the following

commands.

device-1(config)#cluster SX 4000

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#rbridge-id 3

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#session-vlan 3000

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#keep-alive-vlan 3001

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#icl SX-MCT ethernet 1/7

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#peer 10.1.1.2 rbridge-id 2 icl SX-MCT

device-1(config-cluster-SX)#deploy

To configure Brocade-2 for the cluster in the topology of

Figure 31

on page 165, enter the following

commands.

device-2(config)# cluster SX 4000

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#rbridge-id 2

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#session-vlan 3000

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#keep-alive-vlan 3001

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#icl SX-MCT ethernet 2/5

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#peer 10.1.1.3 rbridge-id 3 icl SX-MCT

device-2(config-cluster-SX)#deploy

Step 4: Configure clients

This section describes how to configure clients manually. For instructions on automatic client
configuration, refer to

Setting up cluster client automatic configuration

on page 169.

Client configuration requires the client name, RBridgeID, and CCEP. In the network shown in the

Figure 31

on page 165, Client-1 has a three-port LACP trunk (1/1-1/3), while Client-2 has a two-port

static trunk (1/1-1/2) towards the MCT cluster.

The client name can be different on the different cluster devices. To configure the client name, enter
the following command.

Syntax: [no] client client-name

The client RBridgeID must be identical on both of the cluster devices. To configure the client
RBridgeID, use the following command.

Syntax: [no] rbridge-id id

To configure the physical port or static trunk as the client CCEP, use the following command.

Syntax: [no] client-interface ethernet slot/port

To configure Client-2 on Brocade-1 in the topology of

Figure 31

on page 165, enter the following

command.

device-1(config-cluster-SX)# client client-2
