Configure Virtual Link Trunking interconnect (VLTi)
Perform the following steps if you have chosen to implement VLT for your Layer 2 interconnect between the two Dell EMC
PowerSwitch Series S4148-ON ToR switches.
Work with a network administrator to implement VLTi. VLTi should not be configured without a networking specialist.
You can cable the switches together prior to configuring connectivity between the switches or you can cable the switches after
configuring the type of connectivity. See Cable the ToR switches together for details.
1. Establish a terminal session to the first ToR switch (Switch1).
2. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
