Environment Three: Dell Networking switches with mVLT
and FN IOM in programmable MUX mode.
This section presents an example of Dell Networking switches working together in an mVLT
configuration.
Figure 37 illustrates using Dell EMC's VLT protocol on a pair of IOMs in a switch environment
consisting of two Dell Networking S4810 switches. In this mVLT configuration, multiple valid paths
exist which enable the environment to survive the failure of one S4810 switch and/or one IOM, and/or
one NIC interface per server. Because all paths are actively used, the result is a highly fault-tolerant
environment. This fault-tolerant environment makes full use of the throughput capabilities of all
switches.
