the same subnet, there is no route asymmetry dynamically. But if you configure the static route on one DC and not on the other, there is asymmetry. 8. If the port-channel specified in theproxy-gateway command is not a VLT LAG, the configuration is rejected by the CLI. The VLT LAG cannot be configured as a legacy LAG when it is part of a proxygateway 9. You cannot change the LLDP port channel interface to a legacy LAG when you enable the proxy gateway. 10. Dell recommends using thevlt-peer-mac transmit command only for square VLTs without diagonal links. 11. VRRP and IPv6 routing is not supported. 12. Private VLANs (PVLANs) are not supported. 13. When a VM moves from one VLT domain to the another VLT domain, the VM host sends the gratuitous GARP. The GARP triggers a mac movement from the previous VLT domain to the newer VLT domain. 14. After a station move, if a host sends a TTL1 packet destined to its gateway; for example, a previous VLT node, the packet may be dropped. 15. After a station move, if a host first PINGs its gateway; for example, a previous VLT node it results a 40 to 60% success rate considering it takes a longer path. Enabling the VLT Proxy Gateway To enable the VLT Proxy Gateway feature, the system mac addresses of C and D in the local VLT domain must be installed in C1 and D1 in the remote VLT domain and vice versa. You can install the mac address in two methods - the proxy-gateway lldp method or the proxy-gateway static configuration. Proxy-gateway LLDP is a dynamic method of installing the local mac addresses in the remote VLT domain, which is achieved using a new organizational TLV in LLDP packets. The VLT proxy gateway can be configured in a VLT domain context using the cli command proxygateway LLDP. You enter the proxy-gateway Configuration mode when you enter this command. The port-channel interface of the square VLT link on which LLDP packets are to be sent is specified by thepeer-domain-link port-channel command. Configuring the proxy gateway lldp and the peer-domain-link port channel, LLDP sets TLV flags on the interfaces for receiving and transmitting private TLV packets. After defining these organizational TLV settings, LLDP encodes the local system mac-addresses as organizational TLVs for transmitting to the peer. If you specify the no proxy gateway LLDP interface command, LLDP stops transmitting and receiving proxy gateway TLV packets on the specified interfaces. However, other TLVs are not affected. From the interfaces on which proxy gateway LLDP is enabled, LLDP decodes TLV packets from the remote LLDP by using the new organizational TLV. The following requirements must be satisfied for LLDP proxy gateway to function correctly: • Because LLDP is a direct link protocol, data centers must be directly connected. • LLDP has a limited TLV size. As a result, information that is carried by this new TLV is limited to only one or two MAC addresses. • You must ensure proper configuration and physical setup on all related systems.

the same subnet, there is no route asymmetry dynamically. But if you configure the static route on

one DC and not on the other, there is asymmetry.

If the port-channel specified in the

proxy-gateway

command is not a VLT LAG, the configuration

is rejected by the CLI. The VLT LAG cannot be configured as a legacy LAG when it is part of a proxy-

gateway

You cannot change the LLDP port channel interface to a legacy LAG when you enable the proxy

gateway.

Dell recommends using the

vlt-peer-mac transmit

command only for square VLTs without

diagonal links.

11.

VRRP and IPv6 routing is not supported.

12.

Private VLANs (PVLANs) are not supported.

13.

When a VM moves from one VLT domain to the another VLT domain, the VM host sends the

gratuitous GARP. The GARP triggers a mac movement from the previous VLT domain to the newer

VLT domain.

14.

After a station move, if a host sends a TTL1 packet destined to its gateway; for example, a previous

VLT node, the packet may be dropped.

15.

After a station move, if a host first PINGs its gateway; for example, a previous VLT node it results a 40

to 60% success rate considering it takes a longer path.

Enabling the VLT Proxy Gateway

To enable the VLT Proxy Gateway feature, the system mac addresses of C and D in the local VLT domain

must be installed in C1 and D1 in the remote VLT domain and vice versa. You can install the mac address

in two methods - the

proxy-gateway lldp

method or the

proxy-gateway static

configuration.

Proxy-gateway LLDP is a dynamic method of installing the local mac addresses in the remote VLT

domain, which is achieved using a new organizational TLV in LLDP packets.

The VLT proxy gateway can be configured in a VLT domain context using the cli command

proxy-

gateway LLDP

. You enter the proxy-gateway Configuration mode when you enter this command. The

port-channel interface of the square VLT link on which LLDP packets are to be sent is specified by

the

peer-domain-link port-channel

command.

Configuring the

proxy gateway lldp

and the

peer-domain-link

port channel, LLDP sets TLV flags

on the interfaces for receiving and transmitting private TLV packets. After defining these organizational

TLV settings, LLDP encodes the local system mac-addresses as organizational TLVs for transmitting to

the peer. If you specify the

no proxy gateway LLDP interface

command, LLDP stops transmitting

and receiving proxy gateway TLV packets on the specified interfaces. However, other TLVs are not

affected. From the interfaces on which proxy gateway LLDP is enabled, LLDP decodes TLV packets from

the remote LLDP by using the new organizational TLV.

The following requirements must be satisfied for LLDP proxy gateway to function correctly:

•

Because LLDP is a direct link protocol, data centers must be directly connected.

•

LLDP has a limited TLV size. As a result, information that is carried by this new TLV is limited to only

one or two MAC addresses.

•

You must ensure proper configuration and physical setup on all related systems.
