ucs uplinks 4500X VSS

[rgzoso211]

New deployment of a pair of 4500X in VSS mode and Cisco UCS.

FI-A has 1 10G link to each 4500X

FI-B has 1 10G link to each 4500X

How should the ports and port channels on the 4500X be configured for UCS uplinks?

Hi Reed,

In the end you will just create two port channels, one to each FI.

This is the documentation to create etherchannel on 4500X.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/15.02SG/configuration/guide/channel.html#wp1020670

The interfaces "Ten 1/1" of each 4500X will be part of the first etherchannel andin the second the interfaces "Ten 1/2". (This is just a representation not the real interface number).

Remeber to use the mode active (LACP) of the etherchannel, because this is enabled by default in the Fabric Interconnects.
