VSS Actions

[carl_townshend]

Hi all

This morning I rebooted my active VSS switch

switch 2 took the active role and all was OK

Once switch 1 was back up, I failed the supervisor back over to switch 1

I noticed the following output

LOCAL    1     UP      FALSE(N )   150(150)  ACTIVE   0      0

REMOTE   2     UP      FALSE(N )   110(110)  STANDBY  9341   9459

LOCAL    1     UP      FALSE(N )   150(150)  ACTIVE   0      0

REMOTE   2     UP      FALSE(N )   110(110)  STANDBY  9341   9459

So, its this saying switch 1 is now back as active VSS role?

why has this happened as I thought switch 2 was the active VSS, is it because I did a switch back of the supervisor card to switch 1 ?

Cheers

Carl

Carl,

According to the output of show switch virtual role on this device it means that this switch(SwitchA) is active now.

You can check this with command:show switch virtual --- you will  be able to see the switch operational role.(Active or standby).

Very good info on how the VSS stands on is ref in the link:

How did you switch the supervisor back to siwtch 1?

So, its this saying switch 1 is now back as active VSS role?

What's the output to the command "sh redundancy"?
