The MLAG peer-link, eh? I bet the engineers who came up with that name were just trying to sound important.

The MLAG peer-link, huh? Sounds like a fancy name for a glorified ethernet cable. But hey, at least it's the right answer.

The connector link? Really? That's not even a real networking term. Whoever came up with that option needs to go back to networking 101.

The MLAG ISL (Inter-switch link) sounds like the right choice. That's what I would have picked.

I remember practicing a question about MLAG, and I think the term "Inter-switch link" came up, but that might be for a different context.

Okay, let me think this through. It's asking for the name of the link, and it's specifically for an MLAG domain, so I'm going to go with option C - the MLAG ISL (Inter-switch link).

I'm pretty confident the answer is D. The MLAG peer-link is the standard name used for that connecting link in the Arista documentation I've read.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know it has something to do with MLAG, but I'm not sure which of these options is the correct name for the link.
