  • 1.  VSF with OOBM-MAD

    Posted Mar 07, 2018 12:29 PM

    Does anyone know how to test my VSF with OOBM-MAD setup.

    Here is a copy of the relevant parts of the VSF config just to make sure I did it right.

     

    vsf
    enable domain 1
    member 1
    type "J9850A" mac-address 94f128-
    priority 128
    link 1 1/B8
    link 1 name "I-Link1_1"
    exit
    member 2
    type "J9850A" mac-address 94f128-
    priority 128
    link 1 2/B8
    link 1 name "I-Link2_1"
    exit
    oobm-mad
    port-speed 10g
    exit

     

    oobm
    no ip address
    vsf member 1
    ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
    exit
    vsf member 2
    ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
    exit
    I have a cable connected directly from OOBM Member1 to OOBM Member2.

     

     

    If i run a show vsf lldp-mad status  it doesnt really return any relevant info, I assume because I have a oobm-mad setup, and not setup on a "normal port"

     

    show vsf lldp-mad status

    MAD device IP : 0.0.0.0
    MAD-probe portset :


    VSF split : No
    MAD probe originator : No
    Number of probe requests sent : 0
    Number of probe responses received : 0
    MAD Active Fragment : Yes



    I guess I can just disconnect the VSF link, but what would I be looking for to verify the OOBM-MAD is working as expected.

    Thanks in advance.

    We have test this in the past. The are some mad commands/ statistics available when using the command show obbm (or sub command within oobm). More information is not available. Make sure the oobm interfaces can reach each other.

    To make sure its working enforce a split brain situation

    I appreciate the reply, I really should have tested the split brain, but I am unfortunatly beyond that point now.  

    I ran some of the show oobm commands, it looks like it is working, but it isnt very specific to oobm-mad.

    I have two vsf links so I just hope they never go bad at the same time, and i suppose if they do that the oobm-mad actually works....

     

    Thanks again,
