Configure an MLAG

The MLAG feature allows you to combine ports on two switches to form a single logical connection to another network device. The other network device can be either a server or a switch that is separately configured with a regular LAG (or appropriate server port teaming) to form the port aggregation.

Note

If there is already an MLAG configuration on the switch before connecting to ExtremeCloud, the MLAG becomes a configuration of the ExtremeCloud. Thereafter, any changes to the MLAG configuration must be applied only from the ExtremeCloud - you cannot do MLAG configuration changes directly on the switch.

MLAG peers must meet the prerequisites. For more information, see MLAG Limitations and Requirements.

To configure an MLAG:

1. Select Configure > Devices > MLAGs > Add from the menu.
2. Edit the fields:
   

   MLAG Configuration

   

   Name	Enter a unique name for the MLAG configuration.
   Site	Select the site to which the switches are assigned from the list.
   Switch	In each column, select the switches that will be peers.
   ISC LAG Master Port	The inter-switch connection (ISC) master port for the MLAG, to which member ports can be assigned.
   ISC LAG Member Ports	Assign the inter-switch connection (ISC) ports that will be added to the VLAN that has the MLAG master port. The master port is the main port under which the member ports function.

3. Select Save.
