Best practice to create MLAG

RouterOS General

Hi,

What are the best practices for setting up a MLAG?

From what I understand:

  • Creating a bonding with 2 LACP interfaces
    First question: do I need to create an MLAG on this bonding ? When I say create a MLAG, I mean add an MLAG ID, as long as it’s my peerbond
  • Add the bonding to the bridge
  • In the bridge, under MLAG , select the bonding created just before

Is it necessary and possible to specify an MLAG ID on the bridge?

Is that all there is to it?

Just set this up. Stick one interface into a bond per switch and set the mlag ID on the bond interface. Make sure all the specifics are the same for bonding type that you’ll be using. 802.3ad, layer 2+3, etc. You’ll also want to make sure you untag traffic across the MLAG/ICCP link for management communication and it should work.
