The following section outlines example configuration commands issued to the Dell EMC Networking MX9116n switches. The switches start at their factory default setting. See the OME-M and OS10 Compatibility and Documentation table for more information.
- Set the switch hostname and management IP address.
- Configure the VLT between the switches.
- Configure the VLANs.
- Configure the port channels to connect to the upstream switches.
- Configure the ports connected to the upstream switches.
Use the following commands to set the hostname, and to configure the OOB management interface and default gateway.
Table 16. OOB Management Interface and Default Gateway Commands configure terminal

Configure the VLT between switches using the following commands. VLT configuration involves setting a discovery interface range and discovering the VLT peer in the VLTi.
Note: The default speed of port-groups 1/1/10 through 1/1/12 is 100g-2x (QSFP28-DD 200 GbE connection) which means all the ports from 1/1/35 through 1/1/40 are all 100 GbE ports. Only port-groups 1/1/11 and 1/1/12 (ports 1/1/37 through 1/1/40) are used in this example.

Use the commands below to configure the port channels that connect to the upstream switches. The LACP protocol is used to create the dynamic LAG. Trunk ports allow tagged VLANs to traverse the trunk link. In this example, the trunk is configured allowed to all VLANs.
