VPT equivalent

[huwyhuwy123]

hi there,

I just wondered if there is an Cisco equivalent to the Force 10 VLT protocol to allow switches to simultaneously uplink to different cores. I can see there is a virtual port channel protocal for Nexus switches but don't think it is available for the Cisco 4507 cores and 3850 distribution switches we have.

Thanks for any advice.

Not that I'm aware of, but you can VSS 4507s and you can stack 3850s, and when you do, you can have portchannels that span different physical devices.
