Quick Steps for Configuring MC-LAG

Follow the steps below for a quick tutorial on configuring MC-LAG between two OmniSwitch 10K.
Additional information on how to configure MC-LAG is provided in the section
on page 8-22.
Note. Although some parameters are configurable at runtime, it is strongly recommended that the entire
configuration be completed prior to rebooting the switches. This will avoid a temporary mismatch of
configurations between the peer switches as well as prevent multiple reboots.
1
Configure a globally unique chassis identifier using the
below:
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis chassis-id 1
OS10K [Chassis 2] ->
2
Create a virtual fabric link between chassis peers using the
shown below:
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis vf-link create
OS10K [Chassis 2] -> multi-chassis vf-link create
3
Add the physical ports as members of the virtual fabric link on each peer switch using the
multi-chassis vf-link member-port
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 1/1
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 1/17
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 3/1
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 3/17
OS10K [Chassis 2] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 2/1
OS10K [Chassis 2] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 2/17
OS10K [Chassis 2] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 4/1
OS10K [Chassis 2] -> multi-chassis vf-link member-port 4/17

Verify the chassis identifier settings using the
OS10K [Chassis 1] -> show multi-chassis status
