VLT DOMAIN

History
Version 9.2(0.0)
Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the system automatically creates a
VLT-system MAC address used for internal system operations.
To explicitly define the MAC address for the domain, use the
system-mac
command.
You must also reconfigure the same MAC address on the VLT peer switch.
Use this command to minimize the time required for the VLT system to
synchronize the default MAC address of the VLT domain on both peer switches
when one peer switch reboots.
unit-id
Explicitly configure the default unit ID of a VLT peer switch.
Syntax
unit-id
id
Parameters
id
Enter the system unit ID for VLT. The range is from 0 to 1.
Defaults
Automatically assigned based on the MAC address of each VLT peer. The peer with
the lower MAC address is assigned unit 0; the peer with the higher MAC address is
assigned unit 1.

Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
When you create a VLT domain on a switch, the system automatically assigns a
unique unit ID (0 or 1) to each peer switch. The unit IDs are used for internal system
operations. To explicitly configure the unit ID of a VLT peer, use the
unit-id
command. Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each peer switch.
To minimize the time required for the VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned
to each peer switch when one peer reboots, use this command.
