MCT Feature Interaction and Supported Features

The following FastIron features are supported with MCT. All security features are locally significant and are not synchronized across an MCT cluster.

• LACP on the Cluster Client Edge Port (CCEP).
• VRRP on the CCEP.
• MRP and MRP II, with the restriction that the ICL port cannot be the secondary port of the MRP ring.
• Flooding features (such as VLAN CPU protection and multicast flooding) on MCT VLANs.
• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) as independent boxes (configured independently).
• ARP as independent boxes (configured independently).
• Ingress ACLs on all MCT ports, except for ICL ports. Egress ACLs are supported only on MCT Cluster Edge Ports (CEPs).
• QoS and MAC ACLs and profiles with the same configuration on both cluster devices.
• IPv4 ACLs and rate limits If the rules are applied on the CCEPs, the same rules must be applied to the CCEP ports on both cluster devices.
• Layer 3 routing. VE with IP address assignment is supported on CCEPs for VRRP.
• Static multiport MAC.
• Multiport authentication and IEEE 802.1X on CEPs.
• Static MAC address configuration. Static MAC addresses are programmed on both local and remote peers as static entries.
• Hitless failover. If the failover operation is performed with a cluster configuration, the TCP session is re-established. The MAC addresses from the cluster peer devices are revalidated and programmed accordingly.
• IPv6, VRRP-E (IPv6), and VRRPv3.
