N/A.
With redundant CBs 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. Before entering orchestration mode, ensure that any configuration parameters (connecting ports for the BPEs, VLAN names, numbers etc.) are the same for both CBs.
(orchestration bottom) X670G2-48x-4q.4 #
Note
MLAG peer checkpoint status must be 'up' to enter orchestration mode.Note
Enabling orchestration mode on both MLAG peers at same time is not recommended. If orchestration mode is enabled on both MLAG peers and you execute commands on both switches at same time, the switch may abort execution of the command.The following example enables orchestration mode on the controlling bridge (switch) with its MLAG peer "bottom":
# start orchestration mlag "bottom"
