Parameters
mac-address Enter a MAC address in the format aaaa.bbbb.cccc.
Default Automatically assigned based on the primary priority and MAC address of each VLT
peer.
Command
Modes
VLT DOMAIN
Command
History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically
creates a VLT-system MAC address used for internal system operations. Use the
system-mac command to explicitly define the MAC address for the domain. You
must also reconfigure the same MAC address on the VLT peer switch.
Use this command to minimize the time required for the VLT system to
synchronize the default MAC address of the VLT domain on both peer switches
when one peer switch reboots.
unit-id
Explicitly configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch.
S5000
Syntax
unit-id [0 | 1]
Parameters
0 | 1 Configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch. Enter 0
for a unit with a lower MAC address or enter 1 for a unit with
a higher MAC address.
Default Automatically assigned based on the MAC address of each VLT peer. The peer with
the lower MAC address is assigned unit 0; the peer with the higher MAC address is
assigned unit 1.

History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, Dell Networking OS automatically
assigns a unique unit ID (0 or 1) to each peer switch. The unit IDs are used for
internal system operations. Use the unit-id command to explicitly configure the
unit ID of a VLT peer. You must configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each peer
switch.
