Hi Fumohamm,
If each chassis have 2 spv.
How many license upgrade (IP to Ent) we must order ?
license per chasiss or per Spv ?
Thank you,
Susanto
Hi Susanto,
you only need 1 license per chassis. The license is based on the chassis and not the Supervisor 7‐E although the license is stored on the Supervisor 7-E for that chassis.
Hi Fumohamm,
ok, it's clear now.
Thank you very much for your support and fast response :)
Hello Fumohamm,
having two 4500X running as one with VSS.
How many license upgrades (IPBase to Entservices) do we need to order ?
One for each box (total two license upgr) or only one for the VSS cluster ?
Thanks and regards Peter
Hello,
Is the WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 module supported in VSS? The documentation says that WS-X4548-RJ45V+ is supported. The only difference is the 802.3af PoE support, but I couldn't find a doc that confirm that this linecard is supported.
Regards,
Javier
Hi Javier,
There is no special requirement for a linecard to be part of VSS. as long as the linecard can work with the chassis, it should work with VSS. The requirement comes in when we need to have VSL on the Linecard. not all the linecards are VSL capable.
On Cisco Catalyst 4500-X, VSS is supported in IP Base and Enterprise services. All 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10GE links may be configured for virtual switch links (VSL).
Hi Furose,
Our supervisor is SUP7L-E and license is IP base, could we go ahead for VSS?
Thanks,
James
Hi James,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/release/note/OL_27990-01.html
Table 5 - Support by Image Type; VSS available on IP Base (SUP7E only) and Enterprise Services for everything
so, Sup7L-E requires entservices license to use VSS.
