Dell EMC Networking - Deploying VMware vSAN with OS10 Enterprise Edition | version 1.0
4.8 Leaf switch pair uplinks
The purpose of this document is to show the deployment of a vSAN cluster using two VLT peer switches.
Administrators can use this leaf pair in a layer 3 or layer 2 leaf-spine network topology. For large deployments
that require scale, the layer 3 leaf-spine architecture is commonly used. For detailed information on the layer
3 design for leaf-spine using Dell EMC Networking OS10, see
Dell EMC Networking L3 Design for Leaf-Spine
with OS10EE.
Features configured on a layer 3 leaf-spine that are not covered in this document:
• Routing protocols – BGP and OSPF
• Equal Cost Multi-Path Routing - ECMP
• Uplink Failure Detection- UFD
Note: The attachments containing running configurations of two VLT peer switches contain a limited set of
features used in a lab environment. The running configurations show a layer 3 topology with a single spine
switch. See Dell EMC Networking L3 Design for Leaf-Spine with OS10EE for complete configuration
examples of the layer 3 leaf-spine topology.
