First, set the hostname, configure the OOB management interface and default gateway. Next, enable LLDP
as well as RSTP. In OS10EE LLDP is enabled by default, in OS9 it must be enabled. S4048-Leaf 3 is
configured as the primary RSTP root bridge using the bridge-priority 0 command. S4048-Leaf 4 is configured
as the secondary RSTP root bridge using the bridge-priority 4096 command. This ensures that leaf 3 will
always be the root bridge.

Configure the VLT interconnect between S4048-Leaf3 and S4048-Leaf4. Create a static port channel and
add the two VLTi connections to port channel 128. Configure the VLT domain using the IP address assigned
to the management interface of the opposing switch as the backup destination. The backup destination is
only utilized for the VLT heartbeat. Once VLT is enabled, it will dynamically change the MTU settings for the
VLTi to a value of 9216.
