To create an MC synchronization group

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Redundancy→Node Redundancy from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Node Redundancy form opens.

2 

Choose MC Peer Group (Multi-Chassis) from the drop-down menu and click Search. A list of MC peer groups is displayed.

3 

Select an MC peer group and click Properties. The MC Peer Group (Edit) form opens.

4 

Click on the Associated Groups tab.

5 

Right-click on the MC Sync Group object in the navigation tree and choose Create MC Sync Group. The MC Sync Group (Create) form opens.

6 

Configure the parameters.

7 

Click Select beside the Port/LAG Name parameter in the First Element panel to specify a port, PW port, or LAG on the first NE.

Note: If you set the Sync Tag Config Level parameter to VLAN Range Level, only dot1q and QinQ-encapsulated Ethernet ports, PW ports, or LAGs in Access mode are listed.

8 

Click Select beside the Port/LAG Name parameter in the Second Element panel to specify a port, PW port, or LAG on the first NE.

Note: If you set the Sync Tag Config Level parameter to VLAN Range Level, only dot1q and QinQ-encapsulated Ethernet ports, PW ports, or LAGs in Access mode are listed.

9 

If you set the Sync Tag Config Level parameter to SDP Level, specify the SDP ranges that the MC synchronization group is to monitor.

Note: If the Synchronization Tag parameter is configured at the SDP level, a range cannot be configured for the SDP. The Synchronization Tag parameter should not be the same across different SDPs, whether at the SDP level or the Range level.

Use the following steps.

  1. Enter the SDP ID in the SDP panel.

  2. Click Apply.

  3. Click on the First Site SDP Range Entries|Second Site SDP Range Entries tab.

  4. Click Create. The SDP Range (Create) form opens.

  5. Configure the parameters.

  6. Click OK. The SDP Range (Create) form closes.

  7. Repeat Step 9 4 to 6 to add another SDP range for the site, if required.

  8. Repeat Step 9 for the other site, if required.

10 

If you set the Sync Tag Config Level parameter to VLAN Range Level, specify the VLAN ranges that the MC synchronization group is to monitor.

Note: The VLAN ranges that you configure are applied to the configuration of each site in the MC synchronization group.

Use the following steps.

  1. Click Apply.

  2. Click on the First Site VLAN Entries tab.

  3. Click Create. The VLAN Range (Create) form opens.

  4. Configure the parameters.

    The Minimum Inner Encap Value and Maximum Inner Encap Value parameters are configurable only when the encapsulation type of the associated ports or LAGs is QinQ.

  5. Click OK. The VLAN Range (Create) form closes.

11 

Close the MC Sync Group (Create) form.

12 

Close the MC Peer Group (Edit) form.

13 

Close the Manage Node Redundancy form.
