Configure a DvR Controller or a DvR Leaf Globally

About this task

Configure a node to perform the role of either a Controller or a Leaf, within the DvR domain.

Before you begin

Important

For DvR Leaf Configuration only:

You must enable the dvr-leaf-mode boot flag before you configure a node as a DvR Leaf node. Navigate to Configuration > Edit > Chassis. On the Boot Config tab, select EnableDvrLeafMode.

Ensure that you save the current configuration on the switch, before you enable the flag. Enabling the flag removes all non-DvR configuration on the switch.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration > Fabric folders.
Click DVR.
Click the Globals tab.
Enter the domain ID in the DomainId field.

Note

A Controller or a Leaf node can belong to only one DvR domain.
Select the role of the node in the Role field.
Optional: On a Controller node, disable injection of default routes into the DvR domain. Select InjectDefaultRouteDisable.

Note

This field applies only to Controllers. Attempting to select this field on a Leaf node displays an error message.
Update the fields as necessary, and then click Apply to save your configuration.

Globals Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Globals tab.


Field	Descriptions
DomainId	Uniquely identifies the domain that the node belongs to. The range for a Controller or a Leaf is 1 to 255. Set to 0 if is not configured.
Role	Specifies the role of the node in the domain, that is, either a Controller or a Leaf.
Enable	Specifies whether DvR is enabled on the node. Configuring a Controller or Leaf sets this parameter to true.
DomainIsid	Uniquely identifies the domain I-SID that the node belongs to. 0 indicates that is not configured.
BackboneIsid	Uniquely identifies the backbone I-SID that the node belongs to. The valid backbone I-SID is 16678216. It is set to 0 if is not configured.
GatewayMac	Specifies the Gateway MAC address used by all Domains.
InbandMgmtIp	Specifies the In-band Management IP address configured under IS-IS. You can use this IP address to manage the node, irrespective of whether DvR is enabled on it.
InjectDefaultRouteDisable	Specifies whether injection of default routes is disabled on the Controller in the domain. By default, Controllers inject default routes into the domain so that all Leaf nodes in the domain learn these routes with the next hop as the Controller that advertised it. Selecting this field disables this behavior.
VirtualIstLocalAddr	Specifies the local IP address of vIST, if vIST is configured on a Leaf. vIST cannot be configured on a Controller.
VirtualIstLocalMask	Specifies the local subnet mask of vIST, if vIST is configured on a Leaf. vIST cannot be configured on a Controller.
VirtualIstPeerAddr	Specifies the peer IP address of vIST, if vIST is configured on a Leaf. vIST cannot be configured on a Controller.
VirtualIstClusterId	Specifies the cluster ID of vIST, if vIST is configured on a Leaf. vIST cannot be configured on a Controller. Set to 0 if vIST is not configured.
VirtuaIIstIsid	Specifies the I-SID if vIST is configured.
OperState	Specifies the operational state of the node.
