Alternative

Synopsis

  • Execute vlag-create/vlag-delete/vlag-modify command.
  • A virtual link aggregation group (VLAG) allows links that are physically connected to two different Pluribus Networks devices to appear as a single trunk to a third device. The third device can be a switch, server, or any Ethernet device. A VLAG can provide Layer 2 multipathing, which allows you to create redundancy by increasing bandwidth, enabling multiple parallel paths between nodes and loadbalancing traffic where alternative paths exist.
