Basic MCT configuration

Step 1: Configure trunks (if needed)
An ICL is typically a trunk group that provides port level redundancy and higher bandwidth for
cluster communication. The ICL can be a single interface or a static trunk. LACP on ICL is not
supported.
If needed, configure the ICL trunk as follows on each cluster device (configuration shown for
Brocade-1 in Figure 101).
Brocade-1(config)#trunk ethernet 1/15 to 1/16
Brocade-1(config)#trunk deploy
On the client side, trunk configuration is required for a static trunk only before assigning interfaces
as CCEP. It is not necessary to configure trunks for a single client interface or LACP client interface.
If needed, configure client side trunks on each cluster device (configuration shown for Client-1 in
Figure 101).
Client-1(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/3
Client-1(config)#trunk deploy
Step 2: Configure the session VLAN and recommended keep-alive VLAN
To create the session VLAN and recommended keep-alive VLAN for Brocade-1 in the Figure 101
topology, enter the following commands.
Brocade-1(config)#vlan 3001 name MCT-keep-alive
Brocade-1(config-vlan-3001)#tagged ethernet 1/9
Brocade-1(config-vlan-3001)#exit
Brocade-1(config)#vlan 3000 name Session-VLAN
Brocade-1(config-vlan-3000)#tagged ether 1/7 to 1/8
Brocade-1(config-vlan-3000)#no spanning-tree
For routers, add the following commands.
Brocade-1(config-vlan-3000)#router-interface ve 3000
Brocade-1(config)# interface ve 3000
Brocade-1(config-vif-3000)#ip address 1.1.1.3/24
For switches, add the following commands.
Brocade-1(config)#ip address 1.1.1.3/24
To create a session VLAN and keep-alive VLAN for Brocade-2, enter the following commands.
Brocade-2(config)#vlan 3001 name MCT-keep-alive
Brocade
-2(config-vlan-3001)#tagged ethernet 2/10
Brocade
-2(config-vlan-3001)#exit
Brocade
-2(config)# vlan 3000 name Session-VLAN
Brocade
-2(config-vlan-3000)#tagged ether 2/5 to 2/6
Brocade
-2(config-vlan-3000)#no spanning-tree
For routers, add the following commands.
Brocade-2(config-vlan-3000)#router-interface ve 3000
Brocade
-2(config)#interface ve 3000
Brocade
-2(config-vif-3000)#ip address 1.1.1.2/24
For switches, add the following commands.
Brocade-2(config)#ip address 1.1.1.2/24
