10. Associate the port channel to the corresponding port channel in the VLT peer for the VLT connection to an attached device.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
vlt-peer-lag port-channel id-number
Valid port-channel ID numbers are from 1 to 128.
11. Ensure that the port channel is active.

16. Repeat steps 1 through 15 for the VLT peer node in Domain 1.
17. Repeat steps 1 through 15 for the rst VLT node in Domain 2.
18. Repeat steps 1 through 15 for the VLT peer node in Domain 2.
To verify the conguration of a VLT domain, use any of the show commands described in Verifying a VLT Conguration.
VLT Sample Conguration
To review a sample VLT conguration setup, study these steps.
1. Congure the VLT domain with the same ID in VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2.
VLT DOMAIN mode
vlt domain domain id
2. Congure the VLTi between VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2.
3. You can congure LACP/static LAG between the peer units (not shown).
CONFIGURATION mode
interface port-channel port-channel id
NOTE: To benet from the protocol negotiations, Dell Networking recommends conguring VLTs used as facing
hosts/switches with LACP. Ensure both peers use the same port channel ID.
4. Congure the peer-link port-channel in the VLT domains of each peer unit.
