Configuring edge management bond

Bond with no VLAN

Use the existing command:

set interface bond0 ip 1.1.1.1/24 gateway 1.1.1.254 plane mgmt mode active-backup members eth0,eth1 primary eth0

OR

Use the new command to create the bond then configure IP settings in a 2nd command:

set interface bond0 plane mgmt mode active-standby members eth0,eth1 primary eth0
set interface bond0 ip 1.1.1.1/24 gateway 1.1.1.254 plane mgmt

 

Bond with VLAN

set interface bond0 plane mgmt mode active-backup members eth0,eth1 primary eth0
set interface bond0 vlan 100 plane mgmt
set interface bond0.1000 ip 1.1.1.1/24 gateway 1.1.1.254 plane mgmt

To delete the bond that you have created

clear interface bond0

If the bond was created with a VLAN

clear interface bond0.100

The edge uplink Teaming or LACP configuration is set in the NSX-T UI (you can create a team without creating a LAG)

1. Create a new edge uplink profile and add a LAG. This will let you create an active or passive LACP lag.
2. Specify the number of Uplinks you would like attached
3. Specify the MTU and the transport Vlan
4. Create a team
   1. Specify the teaming policy
   2. Specify the active uplinks
