Configuring Enhanced VLT (eVLT) (Optional)
To configure enhanced VLT (eVLT) between two VLT domains on your network, use the following procedure.
For a sample configuration, refer to
. To set up the VLT domain, use the following commands.
1.
Configure the port channel to be used for the VLT interconnect on a VLT switch and enter interface configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface port-channel
id-number
Enter the same port-channel number configured with the
peer-link port-channel
.
2.
Add one or more port interfaces to the port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
channel-member
interface
interface
: specify one of the following interface types:
•
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port[/subport] information.
•
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
3.
Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlt domain
domain-id
The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000.
4.
Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
peer-link port-channel
id-number
The range is from 1 to 128.
5.
Configure the IP address of the management interface on the remote VLT peer to be used as the endpoint of the VLT backup
link for sending out-of-band hello messages.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
back-up destination
ip-address
[interval
seconds
]
You can optionally specify the time interval used to send hello messages. The range is from 1 to 5 seconds.
6.
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically creates a VLT-system MAC address used for
internal system operations.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
system-mac mac-address
mac-address
To explicitly configure the default MAC address for the domain by entering a new MAC address, use the
system-mac
command. The format is aaaa.bbbb.cccc.
Also reconfigure the same MAC address on the VLT peer switch.
Use this command to minimize the time required for the VLT system to synchronize the default MAC address of the VLT domain
on both peer switches when one peer switch reboots.
7.
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically assigns a unique unit ID (0 or 1) to each peer
switch.
