There are only a couple of MACs for each unit to be transmitted so that all current active MACs can

definitely be carried on the newly defined TLV.

This TLV is recognizable only by FTOS devices with this feature support. Other device will ignore this

field and should still be able to process other standard TLVs.

The LLDP organizational TLV passes local DA information to peer VLT domain devices so they can act as

proxy gateway. Two configurations are sent to LLDP to enable this feature:

Global proxy gateway LLDP configuration to enable this feature

Interface proxy gateway LLDP configuration to enable/disable proxy-gateway LLDP TLV on particular

The interface is typically a port channel which connects to a remote VLT domain.

The new proxy gateway TLV will be carried on the physical links under the port channel only

There should be at least one link connects to each unit of the VLT domain

The configuration is complete if these two configurations are applied, with the following prerequisities:

LLDP must be globally enabled;

There should not be any interface level LLDP disable CLI on the interfaces configured for proxy

gateway, and both transmission and reception must be enabled;

Both units of the remote VLT domain must be connected by the port channel member.

If more than one port is connected to a unit of the remote VLT domain, it has to be completed by the

time proxy gateway LLDP is enabled

no other conflict configuration (i.e., no static proxy gateway configuration)

This feature might not operate properly if one of the following conditions is true:

Any proxy gateway configuration or LLDP configuration is not working

LLDP packets fail to reach to remote VLT domain devices (due to system down, rebooting, port down,

physical link connection)

Sample Configuration Scenario for VLT Proxy Gateway

Assume the following topology with C1/D1 part of VLT domain 1 and C2/D2 part of VLT domain 2.

This will undergo sub-optimal routing. The following figure illustrates a sample VLT Proxy gateway
