Virtual Blade - PARTIALLY CONFIGURED

[johng231]

I've followed the directions on setting up a VB for Windows 2008 Core, and it has always worked in 4.1.5a. We're now running 4.2.1. Am I missing something? We keep getting this error:  PARTIALLY CONFIGURED, and yet it doesn't tell you what else you need to do. This is something that's very basic on setting up so I don't see what else It needs to be configured.

Check out version 4.4.1. You can only assign a BVI interface to a virtual blade. Which then you can assign your standby group to the BVI interface. The BVI becomes your primary interface, not the standby.This will allow you to keep your redundancy on separate physical switches.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. Have you made this configuration? If yes is it possible to give it to us in order to help us?

I had it configured once in the lab before, when testing it out on 4.4.1. I don't have the original configs for it.

Here are some steps that should help you get started.

bridge 1 protocol ieee

interface BVI 1

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

exit

interface Standby 1

bridge-group 1

exit

interface GigabitEthernet 1/0

standby 1 primary

exit

interface GigabitEthernet 2/0

standby 1

exit

primary-interface BVI 1

virtual-blade 1

  interface 1 bridge-group 1 mac-address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
