Dell EMC supports deploying PowerStore T model with two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches with a layer 2 interconnect link. Choose which type of layer 2 interconnect you will use: Highly Recommended: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) If you will be using MC-LAG, record the ports you will use to connect the switches together. Switch to switch port pair 1 25 to 25 Switch to switch port pair 2 26 to 26 Alternative to MC-LAG: Reliable L2 uplinks N/A 11. If using MC-LAG, enter the Domain ID. VLT domain ID 1 12. If using VLT for the Layer 2 interconnect, record the: VLT MAC address to use for both switch 1 and switch 2. Use the same VLT MAC address for switch 1 and switch 2. 00:00:00:00:00:01 NOTE: You cannot use all zeros (00:00:00:00:00) for the VLT MAC address.

Record the port channel ID using for connectivity between the ToR switches and the uplinks. If deploying with MC-LAG, enter the port channel ID used port channel 30 for the uplink. Only a single port channel ID is required for MC-LAG. Alternatively, record the uplink port channel IDs required for Reliable L2. Reliable L2 connectivity requires two port channel IDs. 1.
