Description

This command configures an IMM-only node in a virtual chassis (VC) configuration. This command is performed on the active CPM node in the VC to which the IMM-only node belongs.

An IMM-only node in a VC is identified by its slot-number and its MAC address. The slot number assigned to the node can be an arbitrary number from 1 to 8. It is used in service provisioning to identify ports on a VC member node, and on service objects on those ports. The port on a VC member node is identified using the format slot-id/1/port-id. For example, port 20 on the front panel of a VC member node in slot 4 is identified as 4/1/20; SAPs configured on those ports are identified as 4/1/20:300.

Slot numbers are unique to each VC which are identified by their vc-stack-node, and can be reused across different VCs. The software ensures the uniqueness of the slot number in each VC by raising an error if two nodes in the same VC are assigned the same slot number.

The MAC address used for VC configuration is the chassis MAC address printed on the label of the node. The MAC address of the IMM-only node is also visible using the console connection.

When an IMM-only node boots up, it uses the MAC address and slot number received in the VC discovery messages sent by the CPM node so that it can boot up in VC mode.

The no form of this command removes the IMM-node from the VC.

Parameters

slot-number

Specifies the slot assigned to an IMM-only node in a VC.

Values

1 to 8

create

Keyword to create the node in a VC.

mac-address

Specifies the chassis MAC address of the IMM-only node.

vc-stack-mac-addr

Syntax

vc-stack-mac-addr mac-address

no vc-stack-node

Context

config>system>vc-stack

Platforms

7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE (standalone-VC) and 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE (standalone-VC)

Description

This command configures a MAC address for a VC. This command provides an option to assign a MAC address other than the chassis MAC belonging to the CPM-A node. By assigning the MAC address instead of using the chassis MAC address belonging to the CPM-A node, operators do not need to change the MAC address when the CPM-A card is physically replaced with another card.

The no form of this command reverts the value to the default MAC address specified in the BOF.

Parameters

mac-address

Specifies the MAC address of the VC.
