To convert the above system into a dual homing setup, perform the following:
1 Repeat the steps 2 to 7 from Systems with Port Extender.
2 Physically connect a PE to System A. Connect the uplink port connections of the PE, to the VLT peers. For example, connect the
uplink ports to Te 0/0 to System A and Te 1/4 in System B.
3 Congure the PE interface through batch mode of System A.
PE CONFIGURATION (BATCH mode)
Dell#cascade interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0
4 Congure the cascade interface of the System B through the batch mode of System A and commit the conguration.
PE CONFIGURATION (BATCH mode)
cascade interface interface slot/port peer
Dell# cascade interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/4 peer
Once the cascade interfaces are congured, the PE starts functioning in a dual homing setup as shown in the following diagram:
Figure 113. Systems without Port Extender — After setting up Dual Homing
You can congure PE 1 from both System A and System B.
