channel-member interface
interface: specify one of the following interface types:
•
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port[/subport] information.
•
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.

Repeat Steps 1 to 4 on the VLT peer switch to configure the VLT interconnect.
Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain
To enable VLT and create a VLT domain, use the following steps.
1
Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
vlt domain domain-id
The domain ID range is from 1 to 1000.
Configure the same domain ID on the peer switch to allow for common peering. VLT uses the domain ID to automatically create a VLT
MAC address for the domain. If you do not configure the system explicitly, the system mac-address of the primary will be the VLT
MAC address for the domain.
To disable VLT, use the no vlt domain command.
NOTE:
Do not use MAC addresses such as "reserved" or "multicast."
2
Configure the IP address of the management interface on the remote VLT peer to be used as the endpoint of the VLT backup link for
sending out-of-band hello messages.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
back-up destination {ipv4-address | ipv6-address} [interval seconds]
You can optionally specify the time interval used to send hello messages. The range is from 1 to 5 seconds.
3
Configure the port channel to be used as the VLT interconnect between VLT peers in the domain.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
peer-link port-channel id-number
4
Enable peer routing.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode
peer-routing
If you enable peer routing, a VLT node acts as the proxy gateway for its peer.
5
(Optional) After you configure a VLT domain on each peer switch and connect (cable) the two VLT peers on each side of the VLT
interconnect, the system elects a primary and secondary VLT peer device (see
primary and secondary roles before the election process, use the primary-priority command. Enter a lower value on the primary
peer and a higher value on the secondary peer.
