DLSw - MSFC - Redundancy

[wimoody]

Do all the same rules apply when doing Dlsw redundancy with backup msfc's? For example, do I need the following types of commands:

dlsw transparent redundancy-enable xxxx master-priority x

and

dlsw transparent map local-mac xxxx remote-mac xxxx neighbor xxxx

and

dlsw transparent switch-support

Yes.

You may want to look into Single Router Mode (SRM) at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sw_6_3/confg_gd/redund.htm for your MSFC redundancy. You lose MSFC load balancing but simplify the configuration greatly since you don't need to use HSRP or DLSw Transparent Redundancy.

hope this helps
