Hi:
What would be the best approach for falling back a VSS to standalone.
Once I convert to standalone I need to put back the config I saved orriginally.
when I do the restore( with copy backup_config running-config) I get a bunch of errors as the port-channel config appears first in the config.
In other words it is not a clear cut as I need to re-adjust.
So if anyone have a good suggestion please let me know. I will be doing a cutover next month and i want to be fully prepared for fallback.
Many thanks

Rajiv: When I convert to standalone will the switch returned to its orriginal config or do I have do it manually.
The link above is not detailed enough.
Thanks again.

Hi Ben,
Though i have not tried VSS to Standalone Migration myself, here is what i got from peer discussions and research
When it reloads all the VSS related config statements are removed, the VSL port channel is removed, the channel-group statements are removed from the local VSL interface configs. All of the other port channel configs remain intact with only the local interfaces obviously. All the config related to the peer switch is removed.
All the rest of the parts of the config remains intact. The peer VSS switch takes over as active, it retains the original VSS config. You can then run the same command on this switch to convert it to standalone.

Thanks. I will be able to try this in the lab in 3 weeks.
In VSS there is only one loopback and in standalone there are 2 loopback ( one for each device).
So I gues I will have to do some manual manipulation to restore exactly as the originals.
