VSS implementation consideration

[vijay kumar]

Hi All ,

We were having VSS setup on 6500 switch SUP 720 platform . One month back standy switch sup got failed , and we have isolated the same. Now we are going to implement the standby switch with VSS setup . What are the points to be considered for this ?

Thanks!,

Regards,

Vijay.

Vijay,

To establish VSS there are more things you need to be concern and make sure they are in place. Below are the few...

1. The VSS is available on chassis that support VS-S720-10G supervisor engines and WS-X6708-10G switching modules.
2. The VSS requires Supervisor Engine 720 with 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. You must use either two VS-S720-10G-3C or two VS-S720-10G-3CXL supervisor engine modules.
The two supervisor engines must match exactly.

Below link will help you more on how to achieve VSS successfully.
