start orchestration mlag peer_name

Description

Ensures configuration consistency between controlling bridges in a redundant controlling bridges environment with bridge port extenders (BPEs) or MLAG (Multi-switch Link Aggregation Group) peers.

Syntax Description

orchestration Specifies entering orchestration mode in redundant controlling bridges environments.
mlag Multi-switch link aggregation group.
peer_name Name of the MLAG peer controlling bridge (switch).

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

With redundant controlling bridges attached to each BPE, the associated extended port configuration must be identical on each controlling bridge. To reduce the configuration complexity and to minimize the risk of inconsistency, you can use orchestration mode so that any configuration commands are now checkpointed to the MLAG peer switch.

After entering this orchestration mode, like the existing virtual-router mode, the configuration prompt changes indicating that commands issued are within this context:
(orchestration bottom) X670G2-48x-4q.4 #

Example

The following example enables orchestration mode on the controlling bridge (switch) with its MLAG peer "bottom":

# start orchestration mlag "bottom"

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.5.

Platform Availability

This command is available on the Summit X670-G2 and ExtremeSwitching X690 series switches.
