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

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

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

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-vlan)# vlan active
ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit
ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end

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)# switchport mode trunk
ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config-if)# exit
ToR72p-2 SEFOS(config)# end

Enable the ports and add them to the appropriate port-channels.

Configure the host port to allow all VLANs.
