topic Multiple IDSM modules in a VSS environment in Network Security https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/multiple-idsm-modules-in-a-vss-environment/m-p/1845734#M55827 <P>I have two Cisco 6504-E's which have a IDSM-2 module in each chassis. The supervisors are configured in VSS mode. How should i configure my IDSM-2 modules for resilience?</P><P></P><P>I am planning on using Inline VLAN pairs and i was going to etherchannel the two IDSM modules but found that you cannot do this in VSS if the IDSM's are in different chassis', so how should i configure them? Do they run Active (in VSS master chassis)/Passive (in VSS standby chassis) so should they be configured the same? </P><P></P><P>thanks Alex</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 12:33:42 GMT Alex Fray 2019-03-10T12:33:42Z Multiple IDSM modules in a VSS environment https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/multiple-idsm-modules-in-a-vss-environment/m-p/1845734#M55827 <P>I have two Cisco 6504-E's which have a IDSM-2 module in each chassis.
