   Two Dell PowerSwitch switches are configured as a VLT pair. The network administrator wants to ensure that if the VLT interconnect (VLTi) fails, the pair still maintains a consistent forwarding state and avoids a split-brain scenario. The switches are connected via a dedicated backup link. Which mechanism determines which switch becomes the primary VLT peer?

   • AThe switch that wins the VLT role election based on the configured VLT domain priority
   • BThe switch with the higher number of active VLT LAGs
   • CThe switch with the lower MAC address on the VLT system MAC
   • DThe switch that has the backup link physically connected first

   What is the primary function of the VLT interconnect (VLTi) link?

   • ATo provide a backup path for management traffic if the primary management link fails
   • BTo carry control traffic between VLT peers and forward data traffic that needs to reach the other peer
   • CTo send keepalive messages to detect if a peer is alive
   • DTo connect the VLT peers to the downstream devices

   What is the significance of the primary VLT peer in a VLT configuration?

   • AIt is the only switch that can be configured with VLT LAGs
   • BIt is responsible for sending Spanning Tree BPDUs on behalf of the VLT domain
   • CIt handles all data traffic forwarding, while the secondary peer only forwards in case of failure
   • DIt is the switch that has the higher IP address on the VLT interconnect

   A server is connected to a VLT pair using two links, one to each switch. The server's NIC teaming is configured for LACP. The VLT LAG is configured on the switches. What happens if one of the physical links from the server to a VLT peer fails?

   • AThe entire VLT LAG goes down because the LAG requires both links to be up
   • BThe switch with the failed link becomes the secondary peer
   • CSTP blocks the remaining link to prevent a loop
   • DThe VLT LAG continues to operate, and traffic is forwarded through the remaining link and the VLTi if needed

   What is a VLT domain in a Dell PowerSwitch configuration?

   • AA logical grouping of the two VLT peer switches and their associated VLT configuration parameters
   • BA group of downstream devices that are connected to the VLT peers
   • CA physical area of the data center where VLT is deployed
   • DA single switch that is configured to support VLT
