Creating cluster client 1
See
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 the client instance mode.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR)# client client-1
Syntax: [no] client
The
If it is a two port MCT, the maximum clients supported on the Brocade NetIron XMR or Brocade
MLX series system is 1536/2.
If it is a two port MCT, the maximum clients supported on the NetIron CES or NetIron CER
system is 1535/2.
2. Configure the local RBridge ID for the cluster. This RBridge ID is used by the peer to
communicate with this cluster node. To configure the local rbridge, enter a command such as
following
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)#rbridge-id 100
Syntax: [no] rbridge-id
The
3. The cluster session VLAN is the VLAN used by the cluster for control operations. Add the (CCEP
or CEP) interfaces to the cluster client instance. The interface can be a single link or LAG port.
If it is LAG port, it should be the primary port of the LAG
.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)#client-interface ether 1/3
Syntax: [no] client-interface
The ethernet x/y parameter is the ethernet interface.
4. Deploy the cluster client. If cluster is not deployed, the configuration will be taken but the client
state machine will not be started. The consistency checks for client will be done at the time of
client deploy. The following configuration checks will be preformed:
•
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
Once the client is deployed, the configuration inside the client will not be allowed to change, To
deploy the client configuration, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-cluster-TOR-client-1)deploy
Syntax: [no] deploy
