Dell Force10 – Layer 2 Multipathing via Virtual Link Trunking (VLT)

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Humair

In this blog I use one Dell Force10 S50N [FTOS 8.4.2.7] and three Dell Force10 S4810 switches [FTOS 8.3.12.1] to demonstrate Dell Force10’s layer 2 mulipathing technology called Virtual Link Trunking (VLT). With VLT, you can create a LAG for … Continue reading →

Creating a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in FTOS

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Humair

This lab demonstrates how to create a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in FTOS on Force10 switches. A LAG in Force10’s FTOS is called a port channel and in Cisco’s IOS is called an EtherChannel. As described by IEEE 802.3ad, LAG … Continue reading →
