7. ERS 5530 switch cluster connection to
Hirschmann™ Switches
The objective of this test is to configure two ERS 5530s as a Layer 3 Switch Cluster that aggregates
individual Hirschmann™ switches configured for 802.3ad link aggregation. The connections are between
the ERS 5530s and the Hirschmann™ MACH1040 and RS30 switches.
Note: The Hirschmann™ MICE switch (MS30) does not support Link Aggregation.
The following figure represents the topology for this test.

7.1 Procedure steps

The third IE solution design utilized the aggregating individual Hirschmann™ switches configured for
802.3ad link aggregation (not supported on MICE). Test on both copper and fiber connections. The
following represents the topology:
1. On the ES 470, create a Distributed Copper MLT.
2. Configure the ERS 5530s as an L3 Switch Cluster.
3. On the Hirschmann™ switches, disable IGMP.
4. On the Hirschmann™ switches, enable LACP.
