Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically creates a VLT-system
MAC address used for internal system operations.
To reconfigure the default MAC address for the domain by entering a new MAC address in the format
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn, use the system-mac command.
You must also reconfigure the same MAC address on the VLT peer switch.
unit-id
c
Explicitly configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch.
Syntax
unit-id [0 | 1]
Parameters
Defaults
Automatically assigned based on the MAC address of each VLT peer. The peer with the lower MAC
address is assigned unit 0; the peer with the higher MAC address is assigned unit 1.

The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically assigns a unique unit
ID (0 or 1) to each peer switch. The unit IDs are used for internal system operations. Use the unit-id
command to explicitly configure the unit ID of a VLT peer. Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on
each peer switch.
To minimize the time required for the VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned to each peer
switch when one peer reboots, use this command.
vlt domain
c
Enable VLT on a switch, configure a VLT domain, and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.
Syntax
vlt domain domain-id
Parameters
Defaults
Automatically assigned based on the MAC address of each VLT peer. The peer with the lower MAC
address is assigned unit 0; the peer with the higher MAC address is assigned unit 1.
0 | 1
Configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch. Enter 0 for the first
peer or enter 1 for the second peer.
Version 8.4.6.0 Introduced on the C-Series.
domain-id
Enter the Domain ID number. Configure the same domain ID on the peer
switch. The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000.
