Basic VLAG Configuration
Configure the ISL
1. Configure STP if required. Use PVRST or MSTP mode only:
2. Configure the ISL ports and place them into a portchannel (dynamic or static):

Figure
18 shows an example configuration where two VLAG peers are used for
aggregating traffic from downstream devices.

VLAN 100
Client Switch
In this example, each client switch is connected to both VLAG peers. On each client
switch, the ports connecting to the VLAG peers are configured as a dynamic LACP
port trunk. The VLAG peer switches share a dedicated ISL for synchronizing
VLAG information. On the individual VLAG peers, each port leading to a specific
client switch (and part of the client switch's port trunk) is configured as a VLAG.
In the following example configuration, only the configuration for VLAG 1 on
VLAG Peer 1 is shown. VLAG Peer 2 and all other VLAGs are configured in a
similar fashion.
The ISL connecting the VLAG peers is shared by all their VLAGs. The ISL needs to
be configured only once on each VLAG peer.
