Step 4: Configuring Clients

Configuring cluster clients requires the client name, RBridge ID, and CCEP.
This task describes how to configure clients manually. For instructions on automatic client configuration, see Setting Up Cluster Client Automatic Configuration.

In the network shown in the Basic MCT configuration, Client-201 has a three-port LACP LAG (1/1/1-1/1/3), while Client-202 has a two-port LACP LAG (1/1/1-1/1/2) towards the MCT cluster.

To configure Client-202 on RUCKUS-1 in the topology of Basic MCT configuration, enter the following steps.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    RUCKUS-1# configure terminal
  2. Configure a cluster name and ID. 
    RUCKUS-1(config)# cluster Building-A 200
  3. Assign a client name. 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A)# client client-202
    The client name can be different on the different cluster devices.
  4. Configure the RBridge ID. 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# rbridge-id 202
    The RBridge ID must be different from the cluster RBridge ID or the ID of any other client in the cluster.
  5. Configure the dynamic LAG as the client CCEP. 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# client-interface lag 6
  6. Deploy the configuration. 
    RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# deploy

The following example shows how to configure Client-202 on RUCKUS-2 in the topology of Basic MCT configuration. 

RUCKUS-2# configure terminal
RUCKUS-2(config)# cluster Building-A 200
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A)# client client-202
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# rbridge-id 202
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# client-interface lag 6
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-202)# deploy

The following example shows how to configure Client-201 on RUCKUS-1 in the topology of Basic MCT configuration. 

RUCKUS-1# configure terminal
RUCKUS-1(config)# cluster Building-A 200
RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A)# client client-201
RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# rbridge-id 201
RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# client-interface lag 5
RUCKUS-1(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# deploy

The following example shows how to configure Client-201 on RUCKUS-2 in the topology of Basic MCT configuration. 

RUCKUS-2# configure terminal
RUCKUS-2(config)# cluster Building-A 200
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A)# client client-201
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# rbridge-id 201
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# client-interface lag 5
RUCKUS-2(config-cluster-Building-A-client-201)# deploy
