Catalyst 4500-x VSS best practice

[Oleg Volkov]

Dear Colleagues
I must make new small core in the my network.
I will use catalyst 4500-x with uplink module.
I think, make port-channel with two ports in the each switch - one from the main module and one from the uplink module.
Also, I will use dedicated link for fast-hello.
is it good scheme?
Thank!

But I can not find any informaion about "fast-hello"

Oleg, I also wanted to know about this, and stumbled upon a well-buried excerpt that, I think, answers the question for us.  This particular section is describing PAgP, but based on the reasoning for avoiding fast-hello, I think this applies to LACP as well, because you would have the same considerations/problems described in the section.

Perform a Find operation in your browser for the recommendation: "a fast-hello configuration should be avoided in VSS deployment"
