Avaya Switch Clustering using Split Multi-Link Trunking (SMLT) Technical Confiugration Guide
2May 2, 2011
Avaya has released an updated version of their technical configuration guide outlining how to deploy switch clustering using Split Multi-Link Trunking (SMLT) on the Virtual Services Platform 9000, Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, 8300 and 5000.
This is really great document that helps to outline the best practices when deploying an IST/SMLT configuration within your network.
Here’s the summary of the document updates for March 2011;
March 2011 – Added recommendation to use MLT advance mode on edge Ayava stackable switches when used with ERS 8000 square/full mesh topologies for IP based traffic. Changed VSP CP Limit configuration from port level to MLT level. VRRP hold-down timers can be set in the ERS 5000 6.2 release.
It’s well worth the read in my opinion.
Cheers!
Where are all the Avaya technical configuration guides?

I get a lot of questions (actually two or three in just the past 20 posts on the forums) asking where people can find more technical information about a specific product or configuration concerning Avaya (formerly Nortel) data products such as the Ethernet Routing Switch or their telephony products and specifically the legacy Nortel IP phones.
Thankfully Avaya has done something that I truly applaud them for, something that Nortel always had issues with either allowing or executing (not completely sure which it was). What am I talking about you ask? Avaya allows Google to index their support website with all those juicy technical configuration guides. You only need to ask Google to show you the light;
You can either enter the following query or you can click on the link above;
technical configuration guide site:support.avaya.com
So while Greg over at Etherealmind is complaining about Cisco’s website I’ve found my way around Avaya’s website thanks in no small part to Google. I’m not sure why Greg doesn’t just use Google himself?
Cheers!
Avaya Large Campus Technical Solution Guide – Updated Oct 2010

Avaya has released an updated version of their Large Campus Technical Solution Guide. The updated version includes the re-branding from Nortel to Avaya along with a few modifications around the 7.0 software release for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. This is a highly technical document but one that explains a lot of the best practices when building a network infrastructure with Avaya (formerly Nortel) network switches.
If you are working with Nortel/Avaya switches I highly recommend that you review this document.
Cheers!
