MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 on the VLT peer switch.
To set an amount of time, in seconds, to delay the system from restoring the VLT port, use the delay-restore command at
any time. For more information, refer to VLT Port Delayed Restoration.
Configuring a VLT Port Delay Period
To configure a VLT port delay period, use the following commands.
1. Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlt domain domain-id
The range of domain IDs from 1 to 1000.
2. Enter an amount of time, in seconds, to delay the restoration of the VLT ports after the system is rebooted.
CONFIGURATION mode
delay-restore delay-restore-time
The range is from 1 to 1200.
The default is 90 seconds.
Reconfiguring the Default VLT Settings (Optional)
To reconfigure the default VLT settings, use the following commands.
1. 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.
2. (Optional) After you configure the VLT domain on each peer switch on both sides of the interconnect trunk, by default, the
system elects a primary and secondary VLT peer device.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
primary-priority value
To reconfigure the primary role of VLT peer switches, use the primary-priority command. To configure the primary
role on a VLT peer, enter a lower value than the priority value of the remote peer.
The priority values are from 1 to 65535. The default is 32768.
3. (Optional) When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the system 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.
4. (Optional) When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the system automatically assigns a unique unit ID (0 or 1) to each
peer switch.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
unit-id {0 | 1}
To explicitly configure the default values on each peer switch, use the unit-id command.
Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each peer switch.
Unit IDs are used for internal system operations.
