INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode

no ip address

3 Place the interface in Layer 2 mode.

INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode

switchport

4 Add one or more port interfaces to the port channel.

INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode

channel-member interface

interface: specify one of the following interface types:

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: enter tengigabitethernet slot/port.

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet: enter fortygigabitethernet slot/port.

5 Ensure that the port channel is active.

INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode

no shutdown

6 Associate the port channel to the corresponding port channel in the VLT peer for the VLT connection to an attached device.

INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode

vlt-peer-lag port-channel id-number

The valid port-channel ID numbers are from 1 to 128.

7 Repeat Steps 1 to 6 on the VLT peer switch to congure the same port channel as part of the VLT domain.

8 On an attached switch or server: To connect to the VLT domain and add port channels to it, congure a port channel. For an example

of how to verify the port-channel conguration, refer to

VLT Sample Conguration.

To congure the VLAN where a VLT peer forwards received packets over the VLTi from an adjacent VLT peer that is down, use the peer-

down-vlan

parameter. When a VLT peer with BMP reboots, untagged DHCP discover packets are sent to the peer over the VLTi. Using

this conguration ensures the DHCP discover packets are forwarded to the VLAN that has the DHCP server.

Conguring a VLT VLAN Peer-Down (Optional)

To congure a VLT VLAN peer-down, use the following commands.

1 Enter VLT-Domain Conguration mode for a specied VLT domain.

CONFIGURATION mode

vlt domain domain-id

The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000.

2 Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk.

VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode

peer-link port-channel id-number

The range is from 1 to 128.

3 Enter the VLAN ID number of the VLAN where the VLT forwards packets received on the VLTi from an adjacent peer that is down.

VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode

peer-down-vlan vlan interface number
