The client RBridgeID must be identical on both of the cluster devices. To configure the client
RBridgeID, use the following command.
Syntax: [no] rbridge-id <id>
To configure the physical port or static trunk as the client CCEP, use the following command.
Syntax: [no] client-interface ethernet <slot/port>
To configure the LACP client CCEP port (you must specify all LACP ports with this command), use
the following command.
Syntax: client-interface link-aggregation ethernet <slot/port> to <slot/port>
When LACP is automatically enabled on the specified client interfaces, it operates in active mode
with the LACP long timeout mode by default.
To change the mode for link aggregation, enter the following command.
Syntax: [no] client-interface link-aggregation <passive>
To change the timeout mode for link aggregation, enter the following command.
Syntax: [no] client-interface link-aggregation <timeout-short>
To configure Client-1 on Brocade-1 in the Figure 101 topology, enter the following command.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)# client client-1
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)#rbridge-id 100
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)#client-interface link-aggregation ether
1/15 to 1/16
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)deploy
To configure Client-1 on Brocade-2 in the Figure 101 topology, enter the following command.
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX)# client client-1
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#rbridge-id 100
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#client-interface link-aggregation ether 2/9
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#deploy
To configure Client-2 on Brocade-1 in the Figure 101 topology, enter the following command.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)# client client-2
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)#rbridge-id 200
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)#client-interface ether 1/5
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX-client-1)#deploy
To configure Client-2 on Brocade-2 in the Figure 101 topology, enter the following command.
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX)# client client-2
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#rbridge-id 200
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#client-interface ether 2/8
Brocade-2(config-cluster-SX-client-2)#deploy
Setting up cluster client automatic configuration
Complete the following steps to configure cluster client automatic configuration.
1. Enable the client auto-detect ports on both MCT devices.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)#client-auto-detect ethernet 1/15-1/16
