Disabling links to force traffic across the VLT peer-link (ICL)
While traffic is running, individual ports on the IOMs can be administratively disabled in order to
channel traffic out certain ports. Figure 26 is an example showing how to force traffic through the VLTi
peer link. The red “No” symbols represent the ports which should be administratively disabled. The
show vlt statistics command can be run to show the VLTi peer link is carrying data traffic.
