Virtual Switch Link
When you configure VSL, all existing configurations are removed from the interface except for specific
allowed commands. When you configure VSL, the system puts the interface into a restricted mode. This
means that only specific configuration commands can be configured on the interface.
The following VSL configuration commands are inserted automatically on all VSL member ports:
•
switchport mode trunk
•
switchport nonegotiate
•
no lldp transmit
•
no lldp receive
•
no cdp enable
•
service-policy output VSL-Queuing-Policy
In VSL restricted mode, only these configuration commands are available:
•
channel-group
•
default
•
description
•
exit
•
load-interval
•
logging
•
no
•
power
•
service-policy
•
shutdown
Multichassis EtherChannel
Note
Beginning with Cisco Release IOS XE 3.5.0E and IOS 15.2(1)SG, Layer 3 MEC is supported on the
Catalyst 4500 series switch. Cisco Release IOS XE 3.4.0SG does not support Layer 3 MEC.
An EtherChannel (also known as a port channel) is a collection of two or more physical links that
combine to form one logical link. Layer 2 protocols operate on the EtherChannel as a single logical
entity. A VSS enables the creation of Multi-Chassis EtherChannel (MEC), which is an Etherchannel
whose member ports can be distributed across the member switches in a VSS. Because non-VSS
