Perform the following steps if you have chosen to implement VLT for your Layer 2 interconnectivity between the two Top of the
Rack (ToR) PowerSwitch Series.
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. Refer to
Cable the Top-of-Rack (ToR) Switches together
for details.
VLTi is required to configure Link Aggregation Control Protocol between the PowerStore nodes.
