Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the Dell EMC Networking OS automatically creates a
VLT-system MAC address used for internal system operations.
To reconfigure the default MAC address for the domain, use the system-mac command. The MAC
address must be in the nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format. Also reconfigure the same MAC address on the VLT
peer switch.
unit-id
Configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch.
Syntax
unit-id [0 | 1]
Parameters
0 | 1 Configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch. Enter 0 for the first peer. Enter
1 for the second peer.
Defaults Automatically assigned based on the MAC address of each VLT peer. The peer with the lower MAC
address is assigned unit 0; the peer with the higher MAC address is assigned unit 1.

Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the Dell EMC Networking OS automatically assigns a unique
unit ID (0 or 1) to each peer switch. The unit IDs are used for internal system operations. To explicitly
configure the unit ID of a VLT peer, use the unit-id command. Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on
each peer switch.
This command minimizes the time required for the VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned to each
peer switch when one peer reboots.
vlt domain
Enable VLT on a switch, configure a VLT domain, and enter VLT-Domain Configuration mode.
Syntax
vlt domain domain-id
