Configuring Link Aggregation 947
MLAG domain for the MLAG feature to automatically utilize the peer-link to
forward packets around failures. MLAG VLANs may have IP addresses
assigned, but MLAG VLANs cannot be used to route across MLAG or non-
redundant VLANs, as the MLAG feature does not correlate failures in one
VLAN with another VLAN to unblock packets crossing the MLAG peer-link.
Recommended L3 Connectivity
The topology shown in Figure 28-12 uses the MLAG switches as L2 switches.
All VLANs traverse the MLAG topology from the top switches/routers to the
bottom switches/routers. The LAGs for each VLAN host are in a separate
VPC. The router sees the port-channel as a single logical interface with
multiple VLANs. This topology is highly recommended as it utilizes MLAG
in the scenario for which it was intended (redundant full-bandwidth
replacement for spanning tree) and allows the MLAG peers to detect failures
and unblock the appropriate VLANs on the peer link so that traffic flow can
continue unimpeded.
