Supermicro SSE-X3548S/SSE-X3548SR MLAG User's Guide

2021-10-15
Typically data centers provide redundancy by means of oversubscription by connecting switches and servers to dual aggregation switches. In such cases, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) prevents network loops by blocking half of the links to the aggregation switches. However this reduces the available bandwidth by 50%.
The Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) feature allows users to logically aggregate ports across two switches. This provides increased bandwidth and redundancy.
There can be multiple MLAG interfaces between two switches. The maximum number of MLAG interfaces is limited by the maximum number of LAGs supported in the switch models. Similar to the LAG, MLAG also supports up to eight member ports.
The two switches that logically aggregate are called MLAG peer switches and communicate through an interface called an Inter peer link(IPL). The IPL is primarily used to exchange MLAG control information between peer switches, however it also carries data traffic for devices that are attached to only one of the MLAG peers.
