On TOR-A, ports 1/3-1/4 and 1/5 are CCEPs, and port 1/7 is a CEP. On TOR-B, ports 1/3 and 1/4
are CCEPs, and port 1/5 is a CEP. Ports 1/1-1/2 are the ICL ports used for transport of the MCT
control protocol packets or data packets.

NOTE
Before you begin configuring MCT, save the current configuration files for both the chassis operating
in standalone mode.
Configuring the TOR-A MCT switch
To configure the TOR-A 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-A MCT switch. In the example as shown in
Figure 93 , there are three LAGs on the TOR-A MCT switch. One LAG serves as an ICL link and the
other two LAGs 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. You can either assign a LAG ID explicitly or the system automatically generates a LAG ID. The
LAG ID remains the same across the system reload and hitless upgrade.
The command to configure the LAGs allows explicit configuration of the LAG ID for the static
and dynamic LAGs.
Create a LAG with the LAG ID option by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# lag 1 dynamic
