A network engineer is configuring VLT on a pair of Dell PowerSwitch switches that are also running Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The engineer wants to ensure that STP does not block the VLT LAGs or the VLT interconnect, while still preventing loops in the network. Which STP behavior is expected in a VLT environment?

STP requires a root bridge to be configured on one of the VLT peers to avoid blocking

STP is disabled on all VLT ports, including VLT LAGs and the VLTi

STP treats the VLT peer pair as a single bridge, so VLT LAGs are not blocked, and the VLTi is excluded from STP

STP blocks one of the VLT LAGs to prevent a loop, but the VLTi is always forwarding

In a VLT configuration, what is the role of the VLT interconnect (VLTi)?

It is a redundant link used only when one of the VLT peers fails

It is used only for sending keepalive messages between the VLT peers

It connects the VLT peers to the downstream devices

It carries control traffic between the VLT peers and forwards data traffic that needs to reach the other peer

What is the role of the primary VLT peer in relation to Spanning Tree Protocol?

It blocks all STP BPDUs from the VLT LAG

It is the only switch that can be the STP root bridge

It runs STP only on the VLTi link

It sends STP BPDUs on behalf of the VLT domain

What type of traffic is carried over the VLT backup link?

Data traffic between the VLT peers

Which three components are essential parts of a VLT configuration on Dell PowerSwitch?

VLT domain, VLT backup link, and VLT system MAC

VLT peers, VLT interconnect (VLTi), and VLT LAGs

VLT peer, VLT interconnect, and VLT spanning tree

VLT primary, VLT secondary, and VLT standby
