Key Considerations for Designing a Layer 2 VLT Fabric

Use the Layer 2 VLT fabric for workload migration over virtualized environments. When designing the Layer 2 VLT fabric,

consider the following:

• You can deploy up to 10 fabrics. However, the fabrics do not communicate with each other.

• For a VLT fabric, the AFM manages Dell Networking S4810, S4820T, S55, S60, S6000, Z9000, and MXL Blade switches.

CAUTION: If you are already using a deployed switch, you must reset the factory settings. The switch must be in

BMP mode.

For more information on BMP, see DHCP Integration and the

FTOS Configuration Guide

for the Dell Networking S4810,

S4820T, S55, S60, S6000, Z9000, and MXL switches at https://www.force10networks.com/CSPortal20/KnowledgeBase/

Documentation.aspx.

The number and type of switches in a VLT fabric are based on the following:

• The number of current uplinks (minimum of 2) and downlinks for the access switches.

• The number of planned edge ports (future uplinks and downlinks) for the access switches.

• Whether the access switch needs to act as a switch or ToR.

• Fabric interlink bandwidth (the links between the aggregation and access switches).

• Downlinks which can be 1Gb, 10Gb, or 40 Gb.

• The fabric interlink bandwidth, 10 Gb or 40 Gb, is fixed and based on the fabric type.

NOTE: If you do not specify additional ports in the fabric design for future expansion in the Bandwidth and Port

Count screen, you can only expand the downlinks on the existing fabric.

For information on how to expand a fabric, see Editing and Expanding an Existing Fabric Design.
