BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-2)# client-interface ethernet 1/5
4. Deploy the cluster client by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR-client-2)# deploy
Configuring the TOR-B MCT switch
To configure the TOR-B MCT switch as shown in
, perform the following steps.
Creating and deploying the LAGs
You must create and deploy the LAGs on the TOR-B MCT switch. In the example as shown in
, there are three LAGs on the TOR-B MCT switch. LAG 1 serves as an ICL link and the LAG
2 and LAG 3 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. Create a LAG with the LAG ID option by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# lag 1 dynamic id 1
2. Define the ports to be used by LAG 1 by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# ports ethernet 1/1 to 1/2
3. Assign the primary port explicitly by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# primary-port 1/1
4. Deploy LAG 1 by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# deploy
5. Assign a name to an individual port within LAG 1 by entering the following commands.
BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-A:1/1 ethernet 1/1
BigIron RX(config-lag-1)# port-name ICL-to-TOR-A:1/2 ethernet 1/2
Creating LAG 2
To create LAG 2, perform the following steps.
1. Create a LAG with the LAG ID option by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# lag 2 dynamic id 2
2. Define the ports to be used by LAG 2 by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# ports ethernet 1/3
3. Assign the primary port explicitly by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# primary-port 1/3
4. Deploy LAG 2 by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# deploy
5. Assign a name to an individual port within LAG 2 by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-1:1/3 ethernet 1/3
