local DA entries in TCAM. In case a VLT node is down, a timer that allows you to configure the amount of time needed for peer recovery provides resiliency. You can enable VLT unicast across multiple configurations using VLT links. You can enable ECMP on VLT nodes using VLT unicast. VLT unicast routing is supported on both IPv6/IPv4. To enable VLT unicast routing, both VLT peers must be in L3 mode. Static route and routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, ISIS, and BGP are supported. However, point-to-point configuration is not supported. To enable VLT unicast, VLAN configuration must be symmetrical on both peers. You cannot configure the same VLAN as Layer 2 on one node and as Layer 3 on the other node. Configuration mismatches are logged in the syslog and display in the show vlt mismatch command output. If you enable VLT unicast routing, the following actions occur: • L3 routing is enabled on any new IP address / IPv6 address configured for a VLAN interface that is up. • L3 routing is enabled on any VLAN with an admin state of up. NOTE: If the CAM is full, do not enable peer-routing. NOTE: The peer routing and peer-routing-timeout is applicable for both IPv6/ IPv4. Configuring VLT Unicast To enable and configure VLT unicast, follow these steps. 1. Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id 2. Enable peer-routing. VLT DOMAIN mode peer-routing 3. Configure the peer-routing timeout. VLT DOMAIN mode peer-routing-timeout value value: Specify a value (in seconds) from 1 to 65535. VLT Multicast Routing VLT multicast routing is supported on the S4820T platform. VLT Multicast Routing provides resiliency to multicast routed traffic during the multicast routing protocol convergence period after a VLT link or VLT peer fails using the least intrusive method (PIM) and does not alter current protocol behavior. Unlike VLT Unicast Routing, a normal multicast routing protocol does not exchange multicast routes between VLT peers. When you enable VLT Multicast Routing, the multicast routing table is synced between the VLT peers. Only multicast routes configured with a Spanned VLAN IP as their IIF are synced between VLT peers. For multicast routes with a Spanned VLAN IIF, only OIFs configured with a Spanned VLAN IP interface are synced between VLT peers. The advantages of syncing the multicast routes between VLT peers are: 978 Virtual Link Trunking (VLT)

local DA entries in TCAM. In case a VLT node is down, a timer that allows you to configure the amount of

time needed for peer recovery provides resiliency. You can enable VLT unicast across multiple

configurations using VLT links. You can enable ECMP on VLT nodes using VLT unicast.

VLT unicast routing is supported on both IPv6/IPv4. To enable VLT unicast routing, both VLT peers must

be in L3 mode. Static route and routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, ISIS, and BGP are supported.

However, point-to-point configuration is not supported. To enable VLT unicast, VLAN configuration must

be symmetrical on both peers. You cannot configure the same VLAN as Layer 2 on one node and as

Layer 3 on the other node. Configuration mismatches are logged in the syslog and display in the

show

vlt mismatch

command output.

If you enable VLT unicast routing, the following actions occur:

•

L3 routing is enabled on any new IP address / IPv6 address configured for a VLAN interface that is up.

•

L3 routing is enabled on any VLAN with an admin state of up.

NOTE:

If the CAM is full, do not enable peer-routing.

NOTE:

The peer routing and peer-routing-timeout is applicable for both IPv6/ IPv4.

Configuring VLT Unicast

To enable and configure VLT unicast, follow these steps.

Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.

CONFIGURATION mode

vlt domain

domain-id

Enable peer-routing.

VLT DOMAIN mode

peer-routing

Configure the peer-routing timeout.

VLT DOMAIN mode

peer-routing—timeout

value

: Specify a value (in seconds) from 1 to 65535.

VLT Multicast Routing

VLT multicast routing is supported on the S4820T platform.

VLT Multicast Routing provides resiliency to multicast routed traffic during the multicast routing protocol

convergence period after a VLT link or VLT peer fails using the least intrusive method (PIM) and does not

alter current protocol behavior.

Unlike VLT Unicast Routing, a normal multicast routing protocol does not exchange multicast routes

between VLT peers. When you enable VLT Multicast Routing, the multicast routing table is synced

between the VLT peers. Only multicast routes configured with a Spanned VLAN IP as their IIF are synced

between VLT peers. For multicast routes with a Spanned VLAN IIF, only OIFs configured with a Spanned

VLAN IP interface are synced between VLT peers.

The advantages of syncing the multicast routes between VLT peers are:
