Usage Information
LACP on the VLT ports (on a VLT switch or access device), which are members of the virtual link trunk, is 
not brought up until the VLT domain is recognized on the access device.
On the S4810, during boot-up in a stacking conguration, the system must be able to reach the DHCP 
server with the boot image and conguration image. During boot-up, only untagged DHCP requests are sent 
to the DHCP server to receive an oer on static LAGs between switches. The DHCP server must be 
congured to start in BMP mode. If switches are connected using LACP port-channels like the VLT peer and 
Top of Rack (ToR), use the port-channel parameter on the ToR-side conguration to allow member ports of 
an ungrouped LACP port-channel to inherit vlan membership of that port channel to ensure untagged 
packets that are sent by a VLT peer device reach the DHCP server located on the ToR.
To ungroup the VLT and port-channel congurations, use the no lacp ungroup member independent 
command on a VLT port channel, depending on whether the port channel is VLT or non-VLT.
Example
Dell(conf)#lacp ungroup member-independent ?
port-channel LACP port-channel members become switchports
vlt All VLT LACP members become 
switchports
multicast peer-routing timeout
Congure the time for a VLT node to retain synced multicast routes or synced multicast outgoing interface (OIF) after a VLT peer 
node failure.
