MLAG Requirements Check

After logging in, Chalet performs a requirements check to ensure MLAG can be set up between the two peers. The requirements check is based on the recommendations found in the ExtremeXOS User Guide.

• MLAG peer switches must be of the same platform family.
• With standalone switches, we strongly recommend that MLAG peers be the same switch type.
• MLAG peers should run the same version of ExtremeXOS for proper functioning. To upgrade your switches, see Upgrading ExtremeXOS Using the File Manager.
• Chassis are not currently supported (specifically in ExtremeXOS 21.1) Chalet must ensure they are not peers.
• If Chalet finds any of these, you will be warned on what can and cannot be done.

If the requirements are satisfied, click Easy Setup to continue.
