SMLT Configuration
Assuming the edge switches are Extreme stackable switches, we will also enable VLACP, VLAN tagging,
SLPP, and untagged frames discard as per the SMLT best practices. For this example, we will create SMLT
id 2 on the SMLT cluster 9001 & 9002, SMLT id 2 on the SMLT cluster 4001 & 4001, SLT 129 on
the SMLT cluster 8005 & 8006, and SLT 65 on the SMLT cluster 7001 & 7002.
4001 & 4002: Same configuration on both switches
4001:1(config)#mlt 2 enable
4001:1(config)#mlt 2 member 1/3
4001:1(config)#mlt 2 encapsulation dot1q
4001:1(config)#interface mlt
4001:1(config-mlt)#smlt
4001:1(config-mlt)#exit
4001:1(config)#vlan members remove 1 1/3
4001:1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/3
4001:1(config-if)#no shutdown
As per SMLT best practices, we will also enable VLACP, untagged frames discard,
and SLPP. Note that VLACP will have to also be enabled on Switch-3.
4001:1(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 1/3
4001:1(config-if)#untagged-frames-discard
4001:1(config-if)#vlacp fast-periodic-time 500 timeout short timeout-scale 5
funcmac-addr 01:80:c2:00:00:0f
4001:1(config-if)#vlacp enable
4001:1(config-if)#slpp
