NOTE: All these VLANs are created on both Top of Rack switches.
NSX Switch Specific VLANs
These VLANs are switch-specific and not to be created on both switches. On the first switch, create VLAN 2711 and on the second
switch, create VLAN 2712.
On switch one:
interface vlan2711
description 2711-NSX
no shutdown
mtu 9216
On switch two:
interface vlan2712
description 2712-NSX
no shutdown
mtu 9216
NOTE: These VLANs are created on different Top of Rack switches.
Uplink and VLTi ports
VLT synchronizes Layer 2 table information between two switches and enables them to display as a single logical unit from outside the
VLT domain. The VLT interconnect (VLTi) between two Dell EMC Networking MX9116N switches is a port group that is generated by
configuring a VLT domain and specifying the discovery interfaces.
VLTi ports are specified during the configuration of the VLT domain by specifying the interconnect ports as discovery interfaces. The
resulting VLTi port group cannot be managed manually. The VLT domain must be created on both VLT peer switches.
Configure the ports for VLTi
The VLTi ports for this example are ethernet 1/1/37 through 1/1/40. These ports are placed into a link aggregation by the VLT
configuration process. Do not create the link aggregation manually.
To configure the ethernet1/1/37 through 1/1/40 ports, ensure that the:
• Ports are preconfigured correctly.
• Ports are set to the correct frame size.
• Ports are not set in any switchport (VLAN) mode.
• Ports are not shut down.

Configure VLT domain
The next step is to configure a VLT domain on each switch. It contains the exact same VLT domain on each switch. In this case, create a
VLT domain '10' on each switch. The backup destination for the first switch is the management IPv4 address of the second switch.
Similarly, the backup destination for the second switch is the management IPv4 address of the first switch.
