Virtual Chassis Configuration Guidelines
The following sections provide configuration guidelines to follow when configuring a virtual chassis on an
OmniSwitch. The configuration commands related to the virtual chassis functionality vary depending on
whether they are executed while a switch is operating in standalone mode (conversion process) or virtual
chassis mode (runtime configuration). The following guidelines focus on the initial configuration, when a
switch is still operating in standalone mode. For a thorough description of the configuration process while
a switch is already operating in virtual chassis mode, please refer to the CLI guide.
General
•
Virtual chassis functionality is only active for switches on which a valid chassis identifier is config-
ured.
•
One of the chassis will become the Master chassis while the remaining switches will become Slaves.
•
A virtual chassis cannot contain a mix of OS6900 and OS10K switches.
•
Some of the virtual chassis parameters runtime modification only take effect after the next reboot of
the switch. These parameters are chassis identifier, chassis priority, control VLAN and hello interval.
For this type of parameters, the following terminology is used.
>
Operational values - The current or running values, are those in effect at the present time.
>
Configured values - The next or future values are those that are currently configured or set, but that
are not in effect at the present time. These values will only become effective after the next reboot of
the switch.
Chassis Identifier
•
Each switch requires a chassis identifier that is unique within the virtual chassis group of topology.
•
If a duplicate chassis identifier is detected within the virtual chassis group then the chassis role will be
reported as
inconsistent
and the chassis status will be
Duplicate-Chassis.
