Multi-domain VLT

A multi-domain VLT (mVLT) configuration creates a port channel between two VLT domains by allowing two different VLT domains, using different VLT Domain ID numbers, connected by a standard LACP LAG to form a loop-free Layer 2 topology in the aggregation layer.

This configuration supports a maximum of four (4) nodes per mVLT domain, increasing the number of available ports and allowing for dual redundancy of the VLT.

Additionally, a VLT domain that is a member of one mVLT can be used in another mVLT configuration with a different VLT domain. Routing protocols such as OSPF are not compatible with mVLT; however, VLT domains can be used for routing. A separate Layer 3 router is not required for inter-VLAN communication.

The following figure shows how the core/aggregation port density in the Layer 2 topology is increased using mVLT. For inter-VLAN routing and other Layer 3 routing, a separate Layer 3 router is required.
