Explanation

Disabling L2 mode on VLT interconnect (VLTi) ports is a required configuration step because the VLTi link must carry VLT control-plane traffic between peer switches, not behave as a standard Layer 2 trunk - leaving L2 mode active would prevent proper peer synchronization and MAC table exchange. Option A is wrong because explicitly enabling VLAN1 on VLT ports is not a configuration requirement; VLAN assignments on VLTi links follow different rules than standard access/trunk ports. Option C is a distractor because while LLDP peer discovery happens automatically in the background, "enabling LLDP neighbors" is not a discrete, manual VLT interconnect configuration step. Option D is fabricated - there is no such operation as disabling "VLT port MACs" in any Dell VLT configuration workflow.

Memory tip: Think of VLTi as a control highway, not a traffic lane - strip away L2 (the traffic lane behavior) so the link can carry the special synchronization signals that make two switches act as one.
