Hi all,
We would like to implement VLT on our 2 MXL 10/40GbE switches located respectively on A1 and A2 M1000E.
To do that, i will use the 40Gb QSFP+ cables and create a link aggregation between the 2 40Gb interfaces on each switches (see the attachment)
Regarding the configuration i plan to do the following:
A1 switch :
int range fo 1/33-1/37
no shutdown
interface port-channel 127
description “VLT interco”
channel-member fo 1/49
channel-member fo 1/50
no shutdown
vlt domain 1
back-up destination 10.59.250.6
peer-link port-channel 127
primary-priority 1
A2 switch :
int range fo 1/33-1/37
no shutdown
interface port-channel 127
description “VLT interco”
channel-member fo 1/49
channel-member fo 1/50
no shutdown
vlt domain 1
back-up destination 10.59.250.5
peer-link port-channel 127
primary-priority 8192
Regarding the MNGT ip address, is it better to create a dedicated VLAN for the VTL e.g. /30 and so assign on each vlan interface on each switch an ip address rather than the current mgnt ip address?
So i would like to have your feedback to know if this is the good choice and if it'll be working...
FYI:My environment is a production one, normally, there'll be no donwtime during this configuration ?
Many thanks for your comments !
