Conguring a VLT Backup Link
To congure a VLT backup link, use the following command.
1 Specify the management interface to be used for the backup link through an out-of-band management network.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface managementethernet slot/ port
Enter the slot (0-1) and the port (0).
2 Congure an IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) or IPv6 address (X:X:X:X::X) and mask (/x) on the interface.
MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode
{ip address ipv4-address/ mask | ipv6 address ipv6-address/ mask}
This is the IP address that is congured on the VLT peer using the back-up destination command.
3 Ensure that the interface is active.
MANAGEMENT INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
4 Congure a VLT backup link using the back-up destination command.
VLT domain mode
back-up destination {ip address ipv4-address/mask | ipv6 address ipv6-address/mask}
Dell(conf-vlt-domain)#back-up destination ?
A.B.C.D IP address for VLT backup link
ipv6 Configure IPv6 address for VLT backup link
IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) or IPv6 address (X:X:X:X::X) of the VLT peer’s management interface.
5 Repeat Steps 1 – 4 on the VLT peer switch.
To set the 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.
Conguring a VLT Port Delay Period
To congure a VLT port delay period, use the following commands.
1 Enter VLT-domain conguration mode for a specied 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.
