In the above stack, member 1 has failed, and needs to be replaced. A replacement switch with the same model
number (JL253A) will not take on the role of the switch it replaced, because the MAC address of the replacement
switch will be different from the switch that it replaces.
To enable the configuration to assimilate the replacement switch as member 1 in the stack, the MAC address
needs to be cleared. Use the CLI command
vsf member 1 type JL253A
. This will retain all configuration
made on member 1 and remove only the MAC address. After the command is executed, the output of
show vsf
will be as follows:
VSF Domain ID : 164423

Subsequently, any switch model under JL253A, which is connected to the stack, will be assigned member 1
configuration and role.
Use Case 3: Changing VSF link speed
The sequence to change the VSF link speed is as follows:
Prerequisites
VSF requires that all ports in all VSF links in the VSF stack must be of the same speed. VSF supports two port
speeds, 1G and 10G, and up to 8 ports can be added to a VSF link. There is no default port speed defined. When
a VSF link is first configured, the global port speed is automatically set to the interface speed of the port on the
link.
• There is no restriction on the ports which can be added to a VSF link. Ports which do not match the global port
speed can be added to a VSF link, but only ports matching the configured global port speed will be up.
• On a running VSF stack, the current applicable port speed is shown as part of the
show vsf
command
output.
Switch(config)# show vsf
VSF Domain ID : 164423
MAC Address : b05ada-9694e3
VSF Topology : Chain
VSF Status : Active
Uptime : 0d 5h 37m
VSF MAD : None
VSF Port Speed : 1G
Software Version : WC.16.03.0003
Procedure
1.
Add ports of the desired link speed to each link of the stack.
