Enable RSTP as a precaution. L2-Spine1-S6010 is configured as the primary RSTP root bridge using the
bridge-priority 0 command. L2-Spine2-S6010 is configured as the secondary RSTP root bridge using
the bridge-priority 4096 command.

Configure the VLT interconnect between Spine1 and Spine2. In this configuration, add interfaces fortyGigE
1/31-32 to static port channel 127 for the VLT interconnect. The backup destination is the management IP
address of the VLT peer switch.
Note: Dell EMC recommends that the VLTi is configured as a static LAG (without LACP) per the commands
shown below.
