Question about VLT flow of traffic
Hi all,
I 've been assign with the task of configuring a pair of s4148f-on. It must be run only on L2
I'm try to config the pair to run the VLT protocol. I'm new to this so after some research about the VLT, I have some question:
I read that the VLT peer routing and VRRP can make both peer foward traffic on its own. But those are layer 3. So if i run VLT without VLT peer routing and VRRP:
If the traffic that generate from IOU1, which way does it takes to reach IOU2? Does it takes both ways to reach it or it only takes the way to the primary peer.
What happened when the VLTi link go down?
About the backup link: The site guide me that i should configure it on the mgmt port to the OOB switch. What happen when the OOB switch down or the link down? Should i configure the backup link directly connect on the 2 peers?
Thank you so much for your support.

Hello @Bao Nguyen,
Sadly, we cannot directly help on configurations. As there are some profesional services that provide this kind of configuration. Please, let me know if you want to get in contact with the professional services and ask for a quote.
I suggest you checking the Installation Guide: https://dell.to/3mpWAID And here you have all documents: https://dell.to/3mtKcaQ
Regarding your questions about VTL, I also suggest you to check the guide about How to set up Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) https://dell.to/3mAi85k and the OS10 Dell Force10 VLT Technical Guide: https://dell.to/3B6M2Cl (In page 11 you can find information about the backup link
I hope you can find the information you need in this documents.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Regards.
