Even though the VLT enabled topology provides a loop-free environment in the VLT domain, some non-VLT member ports can end up in a loop scenario. Rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) and rapid per-VLAN spanning tree+ (RPVST+) modes of spanning tree protocol in VLT are supported to provide a solution for this scenario. Depending on the network topology, the primary node of the VLT domain can be designated as the root bridge.

Dell Virtual Link Trunking allows Layer 2 information to be shared across the two nodes. For this purpose, the same VLT domain-id should be configured on both VLT nodes. For rapid convergence and optimal service, the same VLT MAC address should be configured on both the nodes using the vlt-mac command (optional). In the absence of vlt-mac configuration, if the primary VLT node goes down, the VLT port channel on the secondary node flaps, causing slight traffic disruption.
