Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) is a Dell


Networking multi-path solution to
create a dynamic or static LAG that
terminates on two different VLTenabled physical switches.
VLT is a dual active control plane
implementation of multi system
LAG
VLT creates a single logical view of
the two physical switches for the
node at the other end.
The other end of the LAG is formed
based on standardized LACP and
hence VLT system will work with
any vendor switch or server No

Networking Workshop

Multiple Virtual Link Trunking Overview


Multiple VLT (mVLT)

Enhanced VLT is the ability to


connect multiple VLT domains
forming a multi level, resilient L2/L3
fabric.
Provides the ability to build a L2/L3
scale out Clos network similar to L3
distributed core.
The leaf layer is recommended to
be Layer 2 only and the spine layer
is configured as a L2/L3 core which
provides the inter-vlan routing
service.
Provides resiliency and multipathing
from access to core.

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Configure VLT Spanning Tree Parameters
Be sure that all switches have the same OS Version (min. 8.3.12.0)
current Version: 9.6.0.0
Configure hostname
Enable STP as protection against any loops created outside the VLT
configuration

VLT-Primary (conf)#protocol spanning-tree rstp


VLT-Primary(conf-rstp)#no disable
VLT-Primary(conf-rstp)#bridge-priority 0
VLT-Secondary(conf)#protocol spanning-tree rstp
VLT-Secondaryconf-rstp)#no disable
VLT-Secondary(conf-rstp)#bridge-priority 4096
Root bridge and Backup root bridge should be the VLT core devices
Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Configure a VLTi Port Channel
The VLTi is recommended to be a static port channel
Configure a port channel for the VLTi on both VLT Switches:
VLT-Primary(conf)#interface port-channel 100
Be sure that there are no other configs such as an IP-Address:
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-100)#no ip address
Add the physical ports to the channel (2 ports should form the VLTi)
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-100)#channel-member Ten0/45
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-100)#channel-member Ten0/47
Enable the port channel:
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-100)#no shutdown
Enable the physical interfaces
VLT-Primary(conf)#int range ten0/45,ten0/47
VLT-Primary(conf-if-range-te0/45,te0/47)# no shut
Repeat the above steps on the second VLT peer
Do not add any VLANs to the VLTi port channel as they will be added automatically

Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Configure a VLT Backup-Link
Define and configure the heartbeat ports (recommended OOB)
VLT-Primary(conf)#interface ma0/0
VLT-Primary(conf-if-ma-0/0)#ip address 192.168.0.1 /24
Enable the Management interface:
VLT-Primary(conf-if-ma-0/0)#no shutdown

Repeat steps on second VLT-peer, using the address 192.168.0.2 /24

Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Important Points for VLT

System MAC addresses MUST be unique on the network


System MAC addresses MUST be the same in each domain
System MAC addresses MUST be different between domains
Unit-Id must be different on each VLT peer

Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Configure a VLT Domain
Enable VLT and define a VLT-Domain:
VLT-Primary(conf)#vlt domain 1 The same Domain ID must be present on both VLT peers
Define and configure the Backup-Link (Heartbeat).
VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#back-up destination 192.168.0.2
Define and enable the VLTi as a peer-link port channel

VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#peer-link port-channel 100


Create a virtual Mac-Address
VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#system-mac mac-address 10:20:30:40:50:60
The same address must be used on both VLT Peers
Create a unit ID:
VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#unit-id 0
Set the Peer Priority
VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#Primary-priority 100
Enable Peer Routing

VLT-Primary(conf-vlt-domain)#Peer-routing
Repeat the above steps on the second VLT-peer using unit-id = 1 and Primary-Priority = 110
Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Distribute the Port Channel Across VLT Peers
This configuration has to be done on both VLT-peers

It is strongly recommended to define the same port channel number on both VLT-peers. This makes
troubleshooting much easier
VLT-Primary#conf
VLT-Primary(conf)#int po10
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#description Link to Edge Switch
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#no ip address
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#switchport
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#vlt-peer-lag port-channel 10
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#no shut
VLT-Primary(conf-if-po-10)#exit
VLT-Primary(conf)#int tengigabitethernet 0/32
VLT-Primary(conf-if-te-0/32)#port-channel-protocol lacp
VLT-Primary(conf-if-te-0/32-lacp)#port-channel 10 mode active
VLT-Primary(conf-if-te-0/32-lacp)#no shut
VLT-Primary(conf-if-te-0/32)#exit
Now repeat the above configuration on the second VLT peer
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES USE STATIC PORT CHANNELS SO YOU NOW HAVE EXAMPLES OF USING PORT CHANNELS WITH AND WITHOUT LACP

Ensure that VLANs Have Been Created on


Both Peers
VLT-Primary(conf)#int vlan 4
VLT-Primary(conf-if-vl-4)#ip address 10.1.1.32 /8
VLT-Primary (conf-if-vl-4)#no shut
VLT-Primary(conf-if-vl-4)#tag po 10
Repeat the above configuration on the second VLT Peer using a
different IP address (but in the same network) as above

VLT-Secondary(conf)#int vlan 4
VLT-Secondary(conf-if-vl-4)#ip address 10.1.1.33 /8
VLT-Secondary (conf-if-vl-4)#no shut
VLT-Secondary(conf-if-vl-4)#tag po 10

Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Configure VLT LLDP Parameters
VLT-Primary#config t
VLT-Primary(conf)#protocol lldp
VLT-Primary(conf-lldp)#advertise management-tlv systemdescription system-name
VLT-Primary(conf-lldp)#no disable
VLT-Primary(conf-lldp)#exit
Now repeat the above steps on the other VLT peer.
Enabling LLDP in OS9 is not enough. You need to define what will be
communicated via LLDP within the configuration context (advertise
managment-tlv-system-xxx for example)

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Connecting Access/TOR to the VLT Domain
The basic procedure is the same for switches and hosts. Hosts will not
have any Spanning Tree parameters to configure.
Example: Connecting S4820T via LAG to VLT
Create basic config on switch; inlcuding channel groups, static or
LACP (but must match the core; ie:- static or dynamic), VLANs

Enable STP on switch


Follow the STP rules and pay attention to existing Root Bridge and
Backup Root Bridge (VLT-Switches)

S4820T(conf-lldp)#exit

Global Marketing

Set up a Fundamental Configuration:


Connecting Access/TOR to the VLT Domain
S4820T Configuration
If using 40GbE breakout cables then you may need to set up the ports in quad mode. (ie:- using 4 x 10GbE
links.) If this is the case, type the following:
S4820T(conf)# stack-unit 0 port 52 portmode quad
After typing the above, reload the S4820T
S4820T(conf)#interface port-channel 10
S4820T(conf-if-po-10)#switchport
S4820T(conf-if-po-10)#no shut
S4820T(conf-if-po-10)#exit
S4820T(conf)#int forty0/52
S4820T(conf-if-range-fo-0/52)#port-channel-protocol lacp
S4820T(conf-if-range-fo-0/52)#port-channel 10 mode active
S4820T(conf-if-range-fo-0/52)#exit
S4820T(conf)#interface vlan 4
S4820T(conf-if-vl-4)#no shut
S4820T(conf-if-vl-4)#ip address 10.1.1.34 /8
S4820T(conf)#tagged po 10
Port channels can be either static or dynamic. Please be aware that the parameters have to be the same on
the connecting switch as well as on the vlt-peers

Loop Free Topology Using Multiple VLT
Domains (mVLT)

Global Marketing

Setting up Multiple VLT Domains


mVLT Considerations
Create an extra port channel from each domain
VLT Domain 1 -> VLT Domain 2 uses port channel 20
VLT Domain 1 -> VLT Domain 3 uses port channel 22
Use the VLT-Peer-LAG command to encompass all the links
Ensure that VLANs are tagged on these extra port channels
This port channel has interfaces from all of the switches in the domain
Four links are recommended (We are using 2 links today)
Do this on each domain

Edge Switch Considerations (S4820T)


This example shows 2 x 40GbE Breakout Cables on each S4820T using 2 x 10GbE from
each breakout to a single S4810.
