security functionalities to be achieved. This section contains the following topics that describe how to
configure a VLT VLAN or a VLT LAG (VLTi link) and assign that VLT interface to a PVLAN.
Creating a VLT LAG or a VLT VLAN
1 Configure the port channel for the VLT interconnect on a VLT switch and enter interface configuration
mode
CONFIGURATION mode
interface port-channel id-number.
Enter the same port-channel number configured with the peer-link port-channel command as
described in
Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain.
NOTE: To be included in the VLTi, the port channel must be in Default mode (no switchport or
VLAN assigned).
2 Remove an IP address from the interface.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
no ip address
3 Add one or more port interfaces to the port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
channel-member interface
interface: specify one of the following interface types:
• 1-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter gigabitethernet slot/port.
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter tengigabitethernet slot/port.
• 40-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter fortyGigE slot/port.
4 Ensure that the port channel is active.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
no shutdown
5 To configure the VLT interconnect, repeat Steps 1–4 on the VLT peer switch.
6 Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlt domain domain-id
The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000.
7 Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
peer-link port-channel id-number
The range is from 1 to 128.
8 (Optional) To configure a VLT LAG, enter the VLAN ID number of the VLAN where the VLT forwards
packets received on the VLTi from an adjacent peer that is down.
