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.

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.
