Below are the general steps described in-order to configure LACP with MLAG in the switched network. Follow along with the above diagram and move forward with the following steps:

1. Configure Required VLANs

2. Configure MLAG VLAN (Generally VLAN 4094 is configured)

   1. Configure VLAN

   2. Put it in trunk group (with any group name)

3. Configure MLAG VLAN Interface (Continue with VLAN 4094 SVI)

   1. Provide IP

4. Configure MLAG Port-Channel

   1. Make it “SWI TRUNK” (Trunk port)

   2. Put it in a trunk group (similar to used above in Step-2)

5. Configure Other Port-Channels (As it requires)

   1. Assign them in VLAN

   2. Assign MLAG Domain ID

6. Assign ports to be in Port-Channel

7. Configure MLAG

   1. Configure Domain ID (similar to used above in Step-5)

   2. Configure local-interface (Use SVI created in Step-3)

   3. Configure Peer-Address (Use SVI address of peer switch)

   4. Configure Peer-Link (User the port channel created in Step-4)
