Configuring a VSS
Dual-Active Detection Restrictions and Guidelines
When configuring dual-active detection, note the following guidelines and restrictions:
•
For line redundancy, we recommend configuring at least two ports per switch for dual-active
detection. For module redundancy, the two ports can be on different modules in each switch, and
should be on different modules than the VSL ports, if feasible.
•
Only trusted PAgP channels are relied upon to detect dual-active mode of operation.

Configuring Easy VSS
Beginning with Cisco IOS XE 3.6.0E (IOS 15.2(2)E), the Catalyst 4500 series switch supports Easy
VSS, which enables you to configure VSS with a single command on the active switch and no action on
the VSS standby switch.
The active switch can gather information from all switches that are Layer 3
reachable
.
Note
Quad-Supervisor VSS mode is not supported with Easy VSS.
Note
Both switches are directly connected to each other using Layer 3 physical interfaces and are reachable
through these interfaces. These physical interfaces are candidate VSL interfaces and are displayed in a
list of "potential" VSL interfaces in the output of the
vsl ?
command in easy-vss mode. This output also
displays a list of indirectly-reachable Layer 3 interfaces.
Cisco IOS XE 3.6.0E (IOS 15.2(2)E) only supports reachability using a default route. Management and
user-created VRF are not supported.
Note
Switches are reachable to each other through management interfaces. Reachability to neighboring
switches using a management interface isn't supported although the management interface appears in the
candidate VSL list.
