Stacking switches Part - VI (Dell OS10 VLT - Virtual Link Trunking)
In this blog I will configure MLAG (multi chassis link aggregation) for Dell OS10 switches. As every other vendor choses a fancy name of their implementation of MLAG; Dell is no exception to this. Dell calls their implementation VLT - Virtual Link Trunking . Let's look at our network topology - Two Dell OS10 switches will run peering between them and will run VLT/MLAG between them. Two Debian 10 linux machine will be connected with LACP bonding with both switches. They will simulate the client connection. Our topology looks like below - 01 - Dell OS10 VLT Topology Let's look at some terminology before configuration - VLT peer – The two switches participating in VLT are peer to each other. In a VLT domain a maximum of two switches are allowed. VLT interconnect (VLTi) – VLTi synchronizes state information between VLT peers. It synchronizes layer 2 and layer 3 control-plane information. These state/control-plane information includes MAC table, ARP table, IPv6 neighbors etc. VLT ...
