6 Environment One: Basic VLT deployment with VLT
mode
In this section, a basic VLT deployment (Figure 18) is created using the low-touch VLT mode. The
purpose of this topology is to present the concept of VLT and how to enable it.

VLT deployment with FN 410S IOM
In the diagram above, internal port Te0/1 and external ports Te0/10 and Te0/11 are VLT members on
both IOMs.
Note: If an IOM has been previously configured, existing configuration settings will be retained after
changing IOM modes. Because of this, it is recommended that the IOMs be returned to factory
defaults before configuring to a different mode. See the Reset FN IOM to Default Factory
Configuration section for instructions on setting an IOM back to factory defaults.
