MLT and SMLT link aggregation configuration using the CLI

This section describes how to configure and manage link aggregation using the CLI, including MultiLink Trunking (MLT), to increase the link speed and redundancy for higher availability.

Configure link aggregation to provide link level redundancy and increase load sharing. MultiLink Trunking (MLT) is a link aggregation technology that you can use to group several physical Ethernet links into one logical Ethernet link to provide fault-tolerance and high-speed links between routers, switches, and servers. Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT) is an option that improves Layer 2 (bridged) resiliency.
