Taking precautions for mode transitions
Ensure that all nodes to be transitioned are running the same version of Network OS. Logical chassis
cluster mode is supported starting with Network OS release 4.0.0
If you are merging multiple global configuration files to create one new global configuration file, be
sure that the same entity name does not exist in the merged file. For example, if mac access-list
extended test1 contains the entries shown in the "Node 1 global configuration" and "Node 2 global
configuration" below, when you merge the files you can rename mac access-list extended test1 from
Node 2 to mac access-list extended test2 , as shown in the "Combined global configuration."
Node 1 global configuration
mac access-list extended test1
seq 10 permit any 1111.2222.333a ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 20 deny any 1111.2222.333b ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 30 deny any 1111.2222.333c ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 40 permit any any
Node 2 global configuration
mac access-list extended test1
seq 10 permit any 4444.5555.666d ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 20 deny any 4444.5555.666e ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 30 permit any any
Combined global configuration
mac access-list extended test1
seq 10 permit any 1111.2222.333a ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 20 deny any 1111.2222.333b ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 30 deny any 1111.2222.333c ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 40 permit any any
!
mac access-list extended test2
seq 10 permit any 4444.5555.666d ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 20 deny any 4444.5555.666e ffff.ffff.ffff
seq 30 permit any any
The local configuration for Node 2 also needs to be changed accordingly. In this example, one of the
local configuration changes would be the interface TenGigabitEthernet. Instead of referencing test1,
the local configuration file for Node 2 needs to reference test2 because of the change that was made
to the global configuration file. This is shown in the "Node 2 local configuration..." sections below.
Node 2 local configuration before matching the combined global configuration
interface TenGigabitEthernet 4/0/3
fabric isl enable
fabric trunk enable
switchport
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1
spanning-tree shutdown
mac access-group test1 in
no shutdown
Node 2 local configuration after matching the combined global configuration
interface TenGigabitEthernet 4/0/3
fabric isl enable
fabric trunk enable
switchport
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 1
