What is a VSS pair?

The Virtual Switching System (VSS) allows two Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 4500 chassis to bond together so that is seen as a single virtual swich to the rest of the network. Configure a virtual switch domain on both switches and configure one switch as “switch 1” and the other one as “switch 2”.

What is VSS configuration?

The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching System (VSS) allows the clustering of two or more physical chassis together into a single, logical entity. This technology allows for enhancements in all areas of network design, including high availability, scalability, management, and maintenance.

How are Cisco Catalyst 4500-e series switches used in VSS?

Introduction The Cisco Virtual Switching System is a clustering technology that pools two Cisco Catalyst 4500-E Series Switches with Cisco Catalyst Supervisor Engine 7-E or 7-LE or two Catalyst 4500-X Series Switches into a single virtual switch. In a VSS, the data plane of both clustered switches is active at the same time in both chassis.

How to configure virtual switches in Cisco 4500?

Configuration Steps 1 Assigning Virtual Switch Domain and Switch Numbers. First you have to configure the same virtual switch domain number on both switches of the VSS. 2 Configuring VSL Port Channel. Then you need to configure VSL with a unique port channel on each switch. 3 configure the VSL ports.

Where to find the Catalyst 4500 series switch command reference?
