Assigning the host name (optional)
Configure a host name for the device and save the information locally in the configuration file for
future reference. Though this information is not required for system operation, Brocade
recommends saving the information. When you configure a host name, it replaces the default
system name in the CLI prompt.
To configure a host name, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# hostname TOR-B
For more information on assigning the host name, refer to
“Assigning the host name (optional)”
Enabling the interfaces
For more information on enabling the interfaces, refer to
Adding a VE interface
Add a VE interface and configure an IP address for the interface by entering the following
commands.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ve 100
BigIron RX(config-vif-100)# ip address 1.1.1.2/24
For more information on adding a VE interface, refer to
Configuring the cluster operation mode
To configure the cluster operation mode for the MCT scenario shown in
, perform the
following steps.
1. Configure one cluster ID or name on the device so that all the route-reflector clients can
become the members of the cluster. To configure a device with cluster ID 1, enter the following
command.
BigIron RX(config)# cluster TOR 1
2. Configure the RBridge ID cluster so that all the clients for the device can become the members
of the cluster. To configure the RBridge ID, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# rbridge-id 2
3. In addition to dynamic check, a check is made during the cluster deployment to validate if the
cluster session VLAN uses the default VLAN ID. To assign the VLAN ID for the session VLAN,
enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# session-vlan 4090
4. Specify the VLAN range for the cluster to be used for MAC synchronization. Multiple VLAN
ranges are supported for the configuration. To create the member VLAN, enter the following
command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# member-vlan 2
5. Specify the ICL for the cluster.The ICL interface can be a single link or a trunk port. If it is a
trunk port, it must be the primary port of the trunk. Only one ICL interface is supported. To
create an ICL for the cluster, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# icl TOR ethernet 1/1
6. Specify the RBridge and ICL ID for the peers by entering the following command.
