Troubleshooting VLT
To help troubleshoot different VLT issues that may occur, use the following information.
NOTE: For information on VLT Failure mode timing and its impact, contact your Dell EMC Networking representative.
Table 110. Troubleshooting VLT
Description Behavior at Peer Up Behavior During Run Time Action to Take
Bandwidth monitoring A syslog error message and
an SNMP trap is generated
when the VLTi bandwidth
usage goes above the 80%
threshold and when it drops
below 80%.
A syslog error message and an
SNMP trap is generated when
the VLTi bandwidth usage
goes above its threshold.
Depending on the traffic that
is received, the traffic can be
offloaded inVLTi.
Domain ID mismatch
The VLT peer does not boot
up. The VLTi is forced to a
down state.
A syslog error message and an
SNMP trap are generated.
The VLT peer does not boot
up. The VLTi is forced to a
down state.
A syslog error message and an
SNMP trap are generated.
Verify the domain ID matches
on both VLT peers.
Dell EMC Networking OS
Version mismatch
A syslog error message is
generated.
A syslog error message is
generated.
Follow the correct upgrade
procedure for the unit with
the mismatched Dell EMC
Networking OS version.
Remote VLT port channel
status
N/A N/A Use the show vlt detail
and show vlt brief
commands to view the
VLT port channel status
information.
Spanning tree mismatch at
global level
All VLT port channels go
down on both VLT peers.
A syslog error message is
generated.
No traffic is passed on the
port channels.
A one-time informational
syslog message is generated.
During run time, a loop may
occur as long as the mismatch
lasts.
To resolve, enable RSTP on
both VLT peers.
