To configure chassis MAC address on the 7210 SAS-S/Sx VC

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, right-click on an NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.

2 

Click on the Globals tab, and then on the Virtual Chassis tab.

3 

Configure the required VC Configuration parameters.

The user must specify a range of MAC addresses to use if LAGs are used, with the following conditions:

  • The number of MAC addresses range from 1 to 126.

  • The first MAC address in the block of MAC addresses is used as the chassis MAC address, and the subsequent MAC addresses are used to assign MAC addresses to LAGs configured in the VC.

  • The number of MAC addresses specified must match up with the number of LAGs in use.

  • A LAG will be operationally down if no MAC addresses are available for allocation.

  • By default, the LAG MAC addresses are allocated from the active CPM MAC address pool (the base MAC address and the number of MAC addresses available in this pool are printed on the label of the chassis).

  • The user can use a fixed MAC address for a LAG that is independent of the CPM chassis in use. This simplifies provisioning by removing the need to change the MAC addresses on peer nodes in the network when MC-LAG is in use.

Click Ok to save your changes and close the form.

5 

Reboot the NE.

Configuration changes require a reboot of the NE to take effect; see the NE documentation for more information. After reboot, the base MAC address is replaced with the configured VC MAC address.
