VLAGs versus Port LAGs
Though
similar
to
regular
port
LAGs
in
many
regards,
VLAGs
differ
from
regular
port
LAGs
in
a
number
of
important
ways:
A
VLAG
can
consist
of
multiple
ports
on
two
VLAG
peers,
which
are
connected
to
one
logical
client
device
such
as
a
server,
switch
or
another
VLAG
device.
The
participating
ports
on
the
client
device
are
configured
as
a
regular
port
LAG.
The
VLAG
peers
must
be
the
same
model
and
run
the
same
software
version.
VLAG
peers
require
a
dedicated
inter
‐
switch
link
(ISL)
for
synchronization.
The
ports
used
to
create
the
ISL
must
have
the
following
properties:
ISL
ports
must
have
VLAN
tagging
turned
on.
ISL
ports
must
be
configured
for
all
VLAG
VLANs.
ISL
ports
must
be
placed
into
a
regular
port
LAG
(dynamic
or
static).
A
minimum
of
two
ports
on
each
switch
are
recommended
for
ISL
use.
Dynamic
routing
protocols,
such
as
OSPF,
cannot
terminate
on
VLAGs.
Routing
over
VLAGs
is
not
supported.
However,
IP
forwarding
between
subnets
served
by
VLAGs
can
be
accomplished
using
VRRP.
VLAGs
are
configured
using
additional
commands.
It
is
recommended
that
end
‐
devices
connected
to
VLAG
switches
use
NICs
with
dual
‐
homing.
This
increases
traffic
efficiency,
reduces
ISL
load
and
provides
faster
link
failover.
