Help creating MLAG to 2 x X670V switches using a single 10GB port on each

Help creating MLAG to 2 x X670V switches using a single 10GB port on each

Hello,

I've got a VMware Host with 2 x 10Gb going into 2 X670V switches (1 port in each) where I set them up as a MLAG (LACP).  I've done this before and the port on the switches are usually the same, for example if it's port 10 on both switches I would use this:

 

Switch1
enable sharing 10 grouping 10 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 10 peer "SWITCH-2" id 10

Switch2
enable sharing 10 grouping 10 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 10 peer "SWITCH-1" id 10

 

And this will work fine.

Now I have a VMware host that goes into different ports and I'm not sure which part is I need to change.

So now I have the 10GB ports going into port 15 on switch 1 and port 22 on switch 2.  Would the following work as I think it's the "id" part is the remote port to bind with?

 

Switch 1
enable sharing 15 grouping 15 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 15 peer "SWITCH-2" id 22

Switch 2
enable sharing 22 grouping 22 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 22 peer "SWITCH-1" id 15

 

Thanks

Hello!

The MLAG ID is an arbitrary value that links together ports/LAGs across the 2 x670s. You'd want to use the SAME MLAG ID for ports that are going to the SAME Server/Device. 

 

#Sw1 port 15 and Sw2 port 22 go to the same downstream device (where the downstream device has both ports in a sinlge LAG)

#The ID is arbitrary, but should be the SAME for ports going to the SAME downstream device.

Switch 1
enable sharing 15 grouping 15 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 15 peer "SWITCH-2" id 500

Switch 2
enable sharing 22 grouping 22 algorithm address-based custom lacp
enable mlag port 22 peer "SWITCH-1" id 500
