The connections for VxFlex-2 through VxFlex-4 (not shown) are done in the same manner. The production switches are also connected to the S3048-ON management switch using the OOB port on the back of each switch. The leaf switches are configured as a VLT pair. Part of a successful VLT deployment is the use of a VLT backup link. The backup link monitors the connectivity between the VLT peer switches. The backup link sends configurable, periodic, keepalive messages between the VLT peer switches. The out-of-band (OOB) management interface (mgmt1/1/1) is configured as a backup link to fulfill this requirement. Note: An existing 1GbE Base-T switch may be used as an alternative to the S3048-ON. Optionally, for small deployments, the dedicated iDRAC port on each Ready Node may be connected to a port configured on the in-band management VLAN on either one of the two S5248F-ON leaf switches. This requires an SFP-1GbE Base-T adapter, Dell EMC part number XTY28, for each iDRAC connection. 13 VxFlex Network Deployment Guide using Dell EMC Networking 25GbE switches and OS10EE
