Configure Virtual Link Trunking interconnect
Perform the following steps if you have chosen to implement VLT for your Layer 2 interconnectivity between the two Top of the
Rack (ToR) PowerSwitch Series.
Work with a network administrator to implement VLTi. VLTi should not be configured without a networking specialist.
You can cable the switches together prior to configuring connectivity between the switches or you can cable the switches after
configuring the type of connectivity. Refer to Cable the Top-of-Rack (ToR) Switches together for details.
VLTi is required to configure Link Aggregation Control Protocol between the PowerStore nodes.
1. Establish a terminal connection to the first ToR switch (Switch1).
2. Enter global configuration mode.

3. Disable L2 mode on the 100 GbE ports that will be used for VLTi on switch 1.

4. Create new VLTi domain and select 100 GbE ports as discovery interfaces.
vlt-domain 1
discovery-interface ethernet 1/1/25-1/1/26
● vlt-domain, and port numbers should be the same on both switches.
● Ports 25 and 26 are both 100 GbE ports on the Dell EMC S4148-ON PowerSwitch Series. Other switches may have
different port numbers assigned to the 100 GbE ports.
5. Specify the management IP of the other ToR switch as VLT backup (required for heartbeat).
● For switch1, use the switch2 IP address for the backup destination.
● For switch2, use the switch1 IP address for the backup destination.
backup destination 100.0.100.11
6. Enable peer-routing to prepare to configure your uplinks. Peer routing enables or disables L3 routing to peers.
NOTE: Steps to configure uplinks to the customer networks are not described in this guide.

7. Set the priority of the switch.
primary-priority 1
Valid priority values range from 1 to 65535. The switch with the lower priority setting will take precedence of the switch with
the higher priority value. Do not set the same priority value to the two ToR switches.
8. Enter a VLT MAC address to avoid conflicts on the network.
