Deployment Guide

53 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices Guide | Version 1.0
VLANs 10 and 20 are configured on each switch. Port-channels 1 and 2 are tagged in both VLANs.
Note: The shutdown/no shutdown commands on a VLAN have no effect unless the VLAN is assigned
an IP address (configured as an SVI).
Finally, exit configuration mode and save the configuration with the end and write commands.

9.3 Example 3 validation
In addition to sending traffic between hosts, the configuration shown in Figure 16 can be validated with the
commands shown in this section. For more information on commands and output, see the Command Line
Reference Guide for the applicable switch (links to documentation are provided in Appendix C).
Command and output examples are provided for one spine and one leaf. Command output on other switches
is similar.
9.3.1 show vlt brief
The Inter-chassis link (ICL) Link Status, Heart Beat Status and VLT Peer Status must all be up. The role for
one switch in the VLT pair is primary and its peer switch (not shown) is assigned the secondary role.
