About this task
Use the following procedure to set the multicast MAC address used by the device for
VLACPDUs.

Configuring VLACP multicast MAC address

Value
arrives. To prevent this scenario from
happening, set the timeout-scale to a value
larger than 3. VLACP partners must also wait
3 synchronized VLACPDUs to have the link
enabled. If VLACP partner miss 3
consecutive packets from the other partner,
sets the link as VLACP down.
Specifies the address of the far-end switch
configured to be the partner of this switch. If
none is configured, any VLACP-enabled
switch communicating with the local switch
through VLACP PDUs is considered to be
the partner switch.
Note: VLACP has only one multicast MAC
address, configured using the vlacp
macaddress command, which is the Layer 2
destination address used for the
VLACPDUs.
The port-specific funcmac-addr parameter
does not specify a multicast MAC address,
but instead specifies the MAC address of the
switch to which this port is sending
VLACPDUs.
You are not always required to configure
funcmac-addr. If not configured, the first
VLACP-enabled switch that receives the
PDUs from a unit assumes that it is the
intended recipient and processes the PDUs
accordingly.
If you want an intermediate switch to drop
VLACP packets, configure the funcmac-addr
parameter to the desired destination MAC
address. With funcmac-addr configured, the
intermediate switches do not misinterpret the
VLACP packets.
Sets the VLACP protocol identification for
this port. Defines the ethertype value of the
VLACP frame. The range is 8101-81FF.
Default is 8103.
