Two-Tier and Three-Tier Topologies for 1 Gb ToR VLT Deployment for Layer 2 and Layer 3
with Resiliency (Routed VLT)
In a 1 Gb ToR VLT Deployment fabric design, the S4810 aggregation switches connect to access switches
at 10 Gb. The maximum number of VLT aggregations is two switches and the maximum number of VLT
