Configure Switch ToR72p-2 for L2 PVRST LLA Active/Active on the Servers

  1. Start the configuration with all ports and the default VLAN shutdown.

    Disable GVRP and GMRP.

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# set gvrp disable
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# set gmrp disable
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# set port-channel enable
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no ip address
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/1-72
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if-range)# shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if-range)# end
  2. Create and enable port-channels between switches per the topology.

    See L2 and L3 Topology.

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 11
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 132
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 134
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end
  3. Configure VLANs manually.

    You must add at least one port to the VLAN before you can assign the VLAN a name.

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 300
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name external-vlan-1
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 301
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name external-vlan-2
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 302
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name external-vlan-3
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 303
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name external-vlan-4
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 200
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name internal-vlan-1
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 201
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name internal-vlan-2
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 202
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name internal-vlan-3
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# vlan 203
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/66 name internal-vlan-4
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# vlan active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end
  4. Configure the port-channels to allow all VLANs.
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 11
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 132
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface port-channel 134
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end
  5. Enable the ports and add them to the appropriate port-channels.

    Configure the host port to allow all VLANs.

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/66
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to nxge1 Host-4"

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/67
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ES1-24p-1 on port24"
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 132 mode active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/71
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ES1-24p-1 on port22"
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 132 mode active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/68
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ES1-24p-2 on port24"
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 134 mode active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/72
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to ES1-24p-2 on port22"
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 134 mode active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
  6. Enable the uplink interfaces to the core switch and add them to port-channel.
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/69
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# description "connected to Core switch on g1/2"
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# speed 1000

    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# speed 1000
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# channel-group 11 mode active
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end
  7. Change the spanning-tree mode to PVRST and configure the bridge priority.
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# spanning-tree mode pvrst
    Spanning Tree enabled protocol is MSTP, now MSTP is being shutdown PVRST is started.
     PVRST Module status is changed
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200 brg-priority 16384

  8. Save the configuration.
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# copy run start
    Building configuration ...
    [OK] 
    ToR72p-2 SEFOS# 
  9. Check the spanning tree for each VLAN and the role and state of each interface.

    VLANs 200, 201, 302, and 303 should display the role of root.
