VLT Bandwidth Monitoring
When bandwidth usage of the VLTi (ICL) exceeds 80%, a syslog error message (shown in the following
message) and an SNMP trap are generated.
%STKUNIT0-M:CP %VLTMGR-6-VLT-LAG-ICL: Overall Bandwidth utilization of VLT-ICL-
LAG (port-channel 25)
crosses threshold. Bandwidth usage (80 )
When the bandwidth usage drops below the 80% threshold, the system generates another syslog
message (shown in the following message) and an SNMP trap.
%STKUNIT0-M:CP %VLTMGR-6-VLT-LAG-ICL: Overall Bandwidth utilization of VLT-ICL-
LAG (port-channel 25)
reaches below threshold. Bandwidth usage (74 )VLT show remote port channel

VLT and Stacking
You cannot enable stacking on units with VLT.
If you enable stacking on a unit on which you want to enable VLT, you must first remove the unit from
the existing stack. For information about how to remove a unit from a stack, refer to
Removing a Unit
from an S-Series Stack . After you remove the unit, you can configure VLT on the unit.
VLT and IGMP Snooping
When configuring IGMP Snooping with VLT, ensure the configurations on both sides of the VLT trunk are
identical to get the same behavior on both sides of the trunk.
When you configure IGMP snooping on a VLT node, the dynamically learned groups and multicast router
ports are automatically learned on the VLT peer node.
VLT IPv6
The following features have been enhanced to support IPv6:
• VLT Sync — Entries learned on the VLT interface are synced on both VLT peers.
• Non-VLT Sync — Entries learned on non-VLT interfaces are synced on both VLT peers.
• Tunneling — Control information is associated with tunnel traffic so that the appropriate VLT peer can
mirror the ingress port as the VLT interface rather than pointing to the VLT peer’s VLTi link.
• Statistics and Counters — Statistical and counter information displays IPv6 information when
applicable.
• Heartbeat — You can configure an IPv4 or IPv6 address as a backup link destination. You cannot use
an IPv4 and an IPv6 address simultaneously.
