(Optional) Reconfigure default VLT settings
Step Task
4 (Optional) When you create a VLT domain on a switch,
the FTOS software automatically assigns a unique unit
ID (0 or 1) to each peer switch. The unit IDs are used for
internal system operations.
Use the unit-id command to explicitly configure the
default values on each peer switch.
You must configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each
peer switch.
Use this command to minimize the time required for the
VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned to each
peer switch when one peer switch reboots.
Connect a VLT domain to an attached access device (switch or server)
Step Task
On a VLT peer switch: Configure the same port channel ID number on each peer switch in the VLT domain to
connect to an attached device as follows:
1 Configure the same port channel to be used to connect to
an attached device and enter interface configuration
mode.
2 Remove an IP address from the interface.
3 Place the interface in Layer 2 mode.
4 Add one or more port interfaces to the port channel.
interface specifies one of the following interface types:
1-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter
10-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter
5 Ensure that the port channel is active.
6 Associate the port channel to the corresponding port
channel in the VLT peer for the VLT connection to an
attached device.
Valid port-channel ID numbers are from 1 to 128.
7 Repeat Steps 1 to 6 on the VLT peer switch to configure the same port channel as part of the VLT domain.
8 On an attached switch or server: Configure a port channel to connect to the VLT domain and add port channels
to it. Figure 54-12
