Key

Description

This variable defines the Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) algorithm used. Each MLAG link will have a /31¹ subnet with each subnet allocated from the relevant MLAG pool via a calculated offset. The offset is calculated using one of the following algorithms:

• first_id: (mlag_primary_id - 1) * 2 where mlag_primary_id is the ID of the first node defined under the node_group. This allocation method will skip every other /31¹ subnet making it less space efficient than odd_id.
• odd_id: (odd_id - 1) / 2. Requires the node_group to have a node with an odd ID and a node with an even ID.
• same_subnet: the offset will always be zero. This allocation method will use the first /31¹ subnet from the pool for all MLAG links. ¹ The prefix length is configurable with a default of /31.
