Switch Clustering Topologies And Interoperability With Other Products - Avaya 8800 Planning And Engineering, Network Design

• IPv6 Only: IPv6 is configured on the VLAN and IPv4 is not. IPv6 RSMLT operation follows that
of IPv4 as described in this document.
• IPv4 and IPv6: Both IPv4 and IPv6 are configured on the VLAN. IPv4 RSMLT operation and
logic remains unchanged from the current implementation and unaffected by IPv6. IPv6
operation follows that of IPv4 as described in this document.
Switch clustering topologies and interoperability with
other products
When the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 is used with other Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch products, the switch clustering bridging, unicast routing, and multicast routing configurations
vary with switch type. Avaya recommends that you use the supported topologies and features when
you perform inter-product switch clustering. For more information, see Switch Clustering
(SMLT/SLT/RSMLT/MSMLT) Supported Topologies and Interoperability with ERS 8800 / 8600 /
5500 / 8300 / 1600, NN48500-555.
For specific design and configuration parameters, see Converged Campus Technical Solutions
Guide, NN48500-516 and Switch Clustering using Split-Multilink Trunking (SMLT) Technical
Configuration Guide, NN48500-518.
