MLAG Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (MLAG) can be used to increase bandwidth to switches in the network, prevent port blocking and unnecessary re-convergence delays, and provide a reliable fail-over solution in the event that a switch or a cable connection fails. An MLAG peer Switch can connect to another MLAG peer Switch, in the same MLAG domain, through Peer-Link ports configured on them. MLAG partner switches, connected to the MLAG peer Switches, will perceive the two MLAG peer switches as a single MLAG switch in the network. The two MLAG peer switches will operate as two separate standalone Switches except for all MLAG functions. Data traffic can be carried by all links in the MLAG across many physically diverse topologies. 187
