Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain
To enable VLT and create a VLT domain, use the following steps.
1. Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlt domain domain-id
The domain ID range is from 1 to 1000.
Configure the same domain ID on the peer switch to allow for common peering. VLT uses the
domain ID to automatically create a VLT MAC address for the domain. If you do not configure the
system explicitly, the system mac-address of the primary will be the VLT MAC address for the
domain.
To disable VLT, use the
no vlt domain
command.
NOTE: Do not use MAC addresses such as “reserved” or “multicast.”
2. 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.
