Force10 VLT terminology

For the terminology here are the items below to make sure we are on the same page. 
  • VLT – is a combined Port-Channel (multiple physical interfaces) between the VLT Peer devices and the attached device.  These Port-channels can come from either a Host or another switch and are just regular Port-Channels (Static or Dynamic) which connect to the pair of VLT peer devices within the VLT Domain.
  • VLT Port – is a physical port on a VLT device configured to be part of a VLT Domain.
  • VLT peer device – is one of the pair of matching devises (today) that are connected with a Virtual Link Trunk Interconnect (VLTI)
  • VLTI – Is the link used to synchronize states between the VLT peer devices.  Needs to be a Static Port-channel or there could be issues per the configuration Documentation and Engineering.
