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
