Next, another port channel is created for the FC630 blade server to communicate. A corresponding
VLT peer lag is assigned to the peer switch. Internal port Te0/1 is added to the port channel and LACP
is enabled with the mode active command.

VLT LAG to teamed NIC interfaces (#1) and VLT LAG to mVLT S4810 connection (#2)
A final port channel is created for upstream communication to the pair of S4810 switches. The VLT
peer-lag is set to the same port channel ID. External interfaces 11 and 12 are added to this port
channel and LACP is enabled with the mode active command.
Figure 34 contains the steps necessary to configure the peer LAG and the upstream links for the
mVLT connection.
