Taking Backup of Standalone Switch in VSS

[Mohammad Ali Rasheed]

I have 2 Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL Switch and they both have VSS between them. I am facing some problem in one switch and want to take backup of that switch only.

When I connect with console it gives me Virtual CLI, how can I get CLI for individual switch?

In VSS the stand-by switch's console is disabled by default.  If you want to enable it try these commands:

SW(config)#redundancy

SW(config-red)#main-cpu

SW(config-r-mc)#standby console enable

Thanks for your reply,

I want to take backup of individual switch. should I disable VSS and take backup?

No, you don't need to disable VSS.  You can access the stand-by switch from the active by using "remote login standby" command.
