Im new to theses switches , is there a way of setting up a 4 port MLAG between 4 switches ( 2 x switches on one site and two on a second ) . that is 4 ports on each side ( sw1 & sw2 , 2 ports each >>> sw3 &sw4 2 ports each ) . many thanks in advance
Hi Cris,
If i understand correctly You would like the other side of this 4 port MLAG to be a single LAG.
In that case it is not possible, for this solution all 4 switches will need to be in the same MLAG cluster to behave as a single logical unit for the aggregation purposes.
Currently each MLAG cluster is limited to having 2 switches members in.
Let me know if i misunderstood.
Hi Hagai,
This is exactly I am going to do. we have two switches on each side i MLAG and we wanted to configure back-to-back MLAG between two MLAG-switch pair.
Can I not use the different System IDs on each mellanox switch pair . mlag system-mac xx.xx.xx
How can i have alle 4 switches in single cluster ?
looking forward to response.
Just to be clear, we wante this setup where just replace nexus with Mellanox…
Hi Umair,
The setup in the article has 2 different MLAG clusters one with 2 Mellanox and another with 2 Nexus.
You cannot have all 4 switches part of the same cluster, and also you would have to use 2 different MLAG system MAC 1 per MLAG pair.
Currently MLAG only supports 2 switch systems per cluster.
