Basic MCT configuration
22
In the port list, specify all the CCEPs for all potential clients.
2. Start the client auto-detect process on both cluster devices.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)#client-auto-detect start
Within one minute, the system reports information and errors (if there are mismatches such as
an LACP configuration mismatch). You can fix the mismatch while the process is running.
3. Check and fix the automatically detected clients.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)#show cluster cluster-SX client-auto-detect
cluster cluster-SX 4000

NOTE
At this point, the client configuration does not appear in the running configuration and cannot be
modified. Static trunk and LACP configuration are not effective yet.
4. Configure automatically detected clients into the running configuration.
Brocade-1(config-cluster-SX)#client-auto-detect config
All automatically configured client information is now published into the running configuration and
the static trunk configuration will be generated, created, and deployed. LACP will start. By default,
clients are in the non-deployed state and the CCEPs will be put into the disable state. Ports that are
successfully programmed as CCEP will be removed from the autoconfig-enabled port list. If the port
list is empty, which means all ports are configured into clients successfully, the automatic
configuration process will be stopped. The original LLDP configuration will be restored. Otherwise,
the automatic configuration process will continue only on the ports still left in the list.
Other cluster client automatic configuration commands
You can use the following commands as an alternative to the step-by-step procedure in “Cluster
client automatic configuration” on page 835.
Use the following command to enable or disable cluster client automatic configuration on a range
of ports.
Syntax: [no] client-auto-detect Ethernet <x> [to <y>]
Use the following command as an alternate to client-auto-detect config. This command also
configures automatically detected clients into the running configuration and deploys all of the
automatically detected clients.
Syntax: client-auto-detect config deploy-all
