A network engineer is designing a campus network with two Dell PowerSwitch switches in an MLAG pair. They want to ensure that the MLAG pair is resilient to a peer link failure. What is the recommended practice for the peer keepalive link?

Use a VLAN on the peer link for the keepalive traffic.

Use a direct cable connection between the two switches for the keepalive link.

Use the same physical link for both the peer link and the keepalive link to save ports.

Use a separate management network for the keepalive link to ensure it is available even if the peer link fails.

In an MLAG deployment with two Dell PowerSwitch switches, how does the architecture treat the two switches from the perspective of a connected downstream device?

As a single logical switch for the purpose of the link aggregation group

As two separate switches that must be configured independently for each link

As a single switch with a shared control plane

As a pair of switches that must use the same spanning tree bridge ID

In an MLAG domain, what happens when the peer link fails but the peer keepalive is still operational?

The switches disable all MLAG ports to avoid loops

The switches elect a new primary and continue forwarding

Both switches continue to forward traffic normally as if nothing happened

The switches keep the peer keepalive up, but one switch becomes the primary and the other blocks its MLAG ports to prevent loops

What is the primary purpose of Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) in a Dell PowerSwitch campus deployment?

To combine two physical switches into a single logical switch for management purposes

To enable two switches to share the same IP address for gateway redundancy

To provide a backup path for routing protocols in case the primary link fails

To allow a downstream device to connect to two switches using a single link aggregation group, providing redundancy and increased bandwidth

An MLAG pair experiences a complete failure of one switch. What is the expected behavior of the remaining switch?

The remaining switch reboots to re-establish the MLAG domain.

The remaining switch takes over all MLAG ports and continues to forward traffic.

The remaining switch requires manual intervention to enable its MLAG ports.

The remaining switch shuts down all MLAG ports to prevent loops.
