   You are implementing MLAG on two Dell PowerSwitch devices. The peer-link is a 40GbE link between the two switches. Which additional component is REQUIRED for the MLAG domain to function correctly?

   • AAn external router to provide a default gateway for the MLAG pair.
   • BA keepalive link (e.g., a 1GbE link) between the switches for control-plane communication.
   • CA dedicated management VLAN on the peer-link for out-of-band management traffic.
   • DA spanning-tree root bridge configured on one of the two switches.

   You are designing an MLAG solution for a campus network. The network has two access switches and two distribution switches. The access switches will be configured as an MLAG pair. The distribution switches will also be configured as an MLAG pair. What is the PRIMARY benefit of this design?

   • AIt provides redundancy at both the access and distribution layers, with no single point of failure.
   • BIt allows the use of LACP between the access and distribution layers.
   • CIt eliminates the need for spanning tree in the entire network.
   • DIt simplifies the configuration of VLANs across the network.

   You are troubleshooting an MLAG issue. The peer-link is up, and the keepalive link is up. However, traffic from a downstream switch connected to the MLAG pair is not being forwarded correctly. The downstream switch is using LACP. What is the MOST LIKELY cause of the issue?

   • AThe peer-link is not configured as a trunk port.
   • BThe downstream switch is not configured with LACP.
   • CThe MLAG interfaces on the two switches have different port-channel IDs.
   • DThe keepalive link is not configured with an IP address.
