Figure 39. VDX 6740 vLAG for ESXi hosts
Create a port-channel
When creating a port channel interface on both Brocade VDX 6740
switches- RB21 and RB22 note that the port channel number should be the
same on both the VDXs, as shown below. Also note that because this
solution utilizes vCenter integration, the “switchport” command will not be
used and the port will not be configure as a trunk port. This is handled by
the vCenter integration.
