Add Leaf Peer Links

If your platform does not support it, do not attempt to create leaf peer links. Currently, Junos devices do not support any peer links, and SONiC devices do not support L3 peer links.

To add leaf peer links using the GUI

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the MLAG member that needs a peer link.
    Network management interface showing physical topology with spine and leaf nodes; hovering over leaf2 displays role and hostname details.
    The Topology selection view of appears.
  2. Select the node check box to see the operations available for that node (and that you have permissions for).
    Network topology interface showing selected rack evpn_esi_001 and node leaf2 Leaf with connections to neighbors like spine1. Operations menu for node management and uncommitted changes indicator present.
    Note:

    You can also get to the selection page from the Nodes view. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Nodes, click the node name in the table, then click the node name that appears at the top of the Selection panel (on the right side of the page).
  3. Click Add leaf peer links.
    The Add leaf Peer Links dialog opens.
  4. Select the link type (peer link, L3 peer link) and an available port and transformation for each leaf member. (Only unused ports are selectable.)

    The gray Add Link button turns green.
  5. Click the Add Link button.
    The link is added to the table.
  6. Click Add.
The new link is staged and you're returned to the Topology view. (BGP session is added as applicable.)

When you're ready to activate your changes, go to the Uncommitted tab to review and commit (or discard) your changes.
