Configure the VLT interconnect between S4048-Leaf3 and S4048-Leaf4. Create a static port channel and
add the two VLTi connections to port channel 128. Configure the VLT domain using the management
interface of the peer switch as the backup destination. The backup destination is only utilized for the VLT
heartbeat. The unit-id # command will designate the primary VLT member. Once VLT is enabled, it will
dynamically change the MTU settings for the VLTi to a value of 9216. Isilon’s OneFS supports and
recommends the use of jumbo frames.
