Dell-4(conf)#vlt domain 5
Dell-4(conf-vlt-domain)#
Configure the VLTi between VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2.
1. You can configure the LACP/static LAG between the peer units (not shown).
2. Configure the peer-link port-channel in the VLT domains of each peer unit.

Dell-2(conf-if-po-1)#channel-member GigabitEthernet 1/4-1/7
Dell-4(conf)#interface port-channel 1
Dell-4(conf-if-po-1)#channel-member GigabitEthernet 1/4-1/7
Configure the backup link between the VLT peer units.
1. Configure the peer 2 management ip/ interface ip for which connectivity is present in VLT peer 1.
2. Configure the peer 1 management ip/ interface ip for which connectivity is present in VLT peer 2.

Configure the VLT links between VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2 to the Top of Rack unit. In the following example, port Gi 1/4 in VLT peer 1 is
connected to Gi 1/8 of ToR and port Gi 1/18 in VLT peer 2 is connected to Gi 1/30 of ToR.
1. Configure the static LAG/LACP between the ports connected from VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2 to the Top of Rack unit.
2. Configure the VLT peer link port channel id in VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2.
3. In the Top of Rack unit, configure LACP in the physical ports (shown for VLT peer 1 only. Repeat steps for VLT peer 2. The bold vlt-
peer-lag port-channel 2 indicates that port-channel 2 is the port-channel id configured in VLT peer 2).
