Figure 9. 10 Gb or 40 Gb ToR VLT Deployment (mVLT)

NOTE:

All the VLT aggregation switches must be same model for aggregation (for example, all Z9000

switches). On the VLT access, configure the same switch types or a combination of S4810 and

S4820T switches.

Two and Three-Tier 10 Gb ToR (mVLT) Deployment Topologies for Layer 2 or Layer 3 with

Resiliency

AVC = Aggregation VLTi Capacity

DL = Downlink

DL BW = Down Link Bandwidth

FL BWB A & A = Fabric Link Bandwidth between Aggregation & Access

UL BW = Uplink Bandwidth

Use the following tables as a guideline for selecting the appropriate two tier Layer 2 VLT or Layer 3 with

Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric design.

NOTE: With a Layer 2 VLT fabric, the uplinks come from the first two switches on the aggregation

side. For information about tiers, refer to Deployment Topology.
