Step 2: Configure the MCT VLAN, MCT session VLAN, and recommended MCT keep-alive VLAN

To create the MCT session VLAN and recommended MCT keep-alive VLAN for Brocade-1 in the topology of Figure 32, enter the following commands.

device-1(config)# vlan 3001 name MCT-keep-alive 
device-1(config-vlan-3001)# tagged ethernet 1/1/9
device-1(config-vlan-3001)# exit
device-1(config)# vlan 3000 name Session-VLAN
device-1(config-vlan-3000)# tagged ether 1/1/7 to 1/1/8
device-1(config-vlan-3000)# no spanning-tree

For routers, add the following commands.

device-1(config-vlan-3000)# router-interface ve 3000
device-1(config)# interface ve 3000
device-1(config-vif-3000)# ip address 10.1.1.3/24

For switches, add the following commands.

device-1(config)# ip address 10.1.1.3/24

To create a session VLAN and keep-alive VLAN for device-2, enter the following commands.

device-2(config)# vlan 3001 name MCT-keep-alive 
device-2(config-vlan-3001)# tagged ethernet 1/2/10
device-2(config-vlan-3001)# exit
device-2(config)# vlan 3000 name Session-VLAN
device-2(config-vlan-3000)# tagged ether 1/2/5 to 1/2/6
device-2(config-vlan-3000)# no spanning-tree

For routers, add the following commands.

device-2(config-vlan-3000)# router-interface ve 3000
device-2(config)#interface ve 3000
device-2(config-vif-3000)# ip address 10.1.1.2/24

For switches, add the following commands.

device-2(config)# ip address 10.1.1.2/24

To implicitly configure the MCT VLAN and add the ICL as a tagged member of the VLAN, enter the following commands.

device-1(config)# vlan 1000 name MCT-VLAN-example
device-1(config-vlan-1000)# tagged ether 1/1/15 to 1/1/16 e 1/1/7 to 1/1/8
