VPC topology

This scenario uses the advantage of 8 10G SFP+ ports of Aurora 220 to create a high-bandwidth redundant connection between servers.

For Aurora 420-1 and Aurora 420-2

Configure VLAN and VPC domains in ICOS

vlan database
vlan 4
exit
configure
feature vpc
vpc domain 1
peer-keepalive enable
peer detection enable

Configure interfaces in ICOS

Create LAGs

interface 0/1-0/4
addport lag 4
interface 0/50
addport lag 5
interface 0/53-0/54
addport lag 1

Adjust LAG settings

interface lag 1
no port-channel static
switchport mode trunk
