6880-X VSS dual-active detection with Enhanced PAgP

Hello,

I plan to use Enhanced PAgP for dual-active detection for a VSS consisting of 6880-X.

 

Has anybody tested it?

What about the 6800IA switch - does it have a similar feature that can help the active switch in the VSS to find out if the former standby has become also active?

 

Thanks, kind regards,

Eduard Gheorghiu

im interested in this also, cheers

hey, i ran this up in the lab, the FEX itself runs dual active detection without the need for PAGP.

see below info:

switch#show fex dual-active 
FEX dual-active detection enabled: Yes

Channel Group 101 (FEX 101)
  Splitbrain detection capable: Yes
    switch 1 member port state:
      Te1/5/2    - Interface Up.      state: bound       
      Te1/5/3    - Interface Up.      state: bound       
    switch 2 member port state:
      Te2/5/2    - Interface Up.      state: bound       
      Te2/5/3    - Interface Up.      state: bound       

Channel Group 102 (FEX 102)
  Splitbrain detection capable: Yes
    switch 1 member port state:
      Te1/5/4    - Interface Up.      state: bound       
    switch 2 member port state:
      Te2/5/4    - Interface Up.      state: bound       
switch#show switch virtual dual-active summary 
Pagp dual-active detection enabled: Yes
Fast-hello dual-active detection enabled: Yes
FEX dual-active detection enabled: Yes

No interfaces excluded from shutdown in recovery mode

In dual-active recovery mode: No
