Configuring VLT
To configure VLT, use the following procedure.
Prerequisites:
Before you begin, make sure that both VLT peer switches are running the same Dell Networking OS version and are configured for RSTP as
described in the
section. For VRRP operation, ensure that you configure VRRP groups and L3 routing on each VLT
peer as described in
VLT and VRRP interoperability
section. To configure VLT and create a VLT domain in which
two switches are physically connected and treated as a single port channel by access devices, configure the following settings on each VLT
peer device.
1
Configure the VLT interconnect for the VLT domain. The primary and secondary switch roles in the VLT domain are automatically
assigned after you configure both sides of the VLTi.
NOTE:
If you use a third-party ToR unit, to avoid potential problems if you reboot the VLT peers, Dell recommends
using static LAGs on the VLTi between VLT peers.
2
Enable VLT and create a VLT domain ID. VLT automatically selects a system MAC address.
3
Configure a backup link for the VLT domain.
4
(Optional) Manually reconfigure the default VLT settings, such as the MAC address and VLT primary/ secondary roles.
5
Connect the peer switches in a VLT domain to an attached access device (switch or server).
Configuring a VLT Interconnect
To configure a VLT interconnect, follow these steps.
1
Configure the port channel 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
command as described in
.
NOTE:
To be included in the VLTi, the port channel must be in Default mode (
no switchport
or VLAN assigned).
2
Remove any IP address from the interface if already present.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
no ip address
