Good Morning,I setup 2 4500x 16 port switches with VSS for a distribution layer. However, Sw1 has been setup in the location without the 2nd switch. Can I simply add the second switch without interrupting service since it is the "standby" switch? T...

Good Morning,I setup a brand new 4500x 16 port Distribution switch with SVI's on it and they won't come up. The license feature is ipbase. I activated and accepted the EULA for the ipbase without activating and accepting the EULA for the iplan feat...

Good Morning,On 2 brand new "out-of-the-box" switches, I want to configure VSS for the distribution layer for redundancy. Do I have to configure the second switch too, or will it automatically populate off of the "priority" sw 1? Thank you in Advanc...

It works when I trunk to an access layer switch. I thought it would've worked by setting one of the local ports to one of the VLAN's and putting something on the port. I had even put my work laptop with a 1Gb NIC on the port and set a static IP, bu...

Jon,I did have a port configured for one of the VLAN's on the switch, but the end device was a older laptop so I had to set the speed to 100. I did the shut, no shut on all ports including the SVI and nothing.I'll try trunking to an access layer swi...

Hello,I am having a similar problem. However, my SVI's won't even go to the "up up" state. They are all at the "down down" state. As a result, the machine I have on the access port on the neighboring device can't ping any of the SVI's on the Distr...
