Usage
Information
When a VLT peer goes down, the local VLT node must stop sending its peer’s MAC address. If this
timeout is configured, the local VLT node will send its peer's MAC address, till the timer expires. By
default this timer value is infinity. This timer comes into play, only when the vlt-peer-mac transmit is
enabled. Square VLT Topology with single link connecting to the remote peers, is a typical use case for
this configuration.
Example
Dell(conf-vlt-domain-proxy-gw-lldp)# peer-timeout 5
vlt-peer-mac transmit
Enables the device to transmit, the peer's MAC address along with its own mac-address in the LLDP TLV packets, to the
remote VLT Domain.

Usage
Information
This command enables the device to transmit its VLT peer’s MAC address along with its own MAC
address to the remote VLT domain. By default, a node will send only its own MAC address to the remote
VLT domain. This configuration is applicable only for a LLDP proxy gateway. Square VLT Topology with
single link connecting to the remote peers, is a typical use case for this configuration.
Example
Dell(conf-vlt-domain-proxy-gw-lldp)# vlt-peer-mac transmit
