  • 1.  Set VSF Member Number

    Posted Feb 16, 2021 10:13 AM

    Hi all,

    my question: Is it possible to set up a 3-switch-VSF-stack with only member ids 2,3,4?

    As far as I know this should be possible, but what happens if I auto-join a fourth switch to the stack? I suspect it would join with the member id 1.

    Has anyone done this before?

    Thanks in advance
     
    Greetings

    Hi,

    sorry for not specifying this detail.

    Currently I want to now this for AOS-S.
    Does the switch-series has an major impact on this topic?

    Regards

    Hi Michael.

    Do you read through the stacking best practice guide ?
    https://community.arubanetworks.com/HigherLogic/System/DownloadDocumentFile.ashx?DocumentFileKey=fdfe116d-c9bf-4136-9c83-73217f9b2646

    I would expect the renumbering / provision to work for you in a the way you describe.

    I have tested with 2x 2930F in VSF in VSF config and changed from 1&2 to 2&3.
    The command for VFS is "vsf" and not "stacking" btw.
    To remove the conductor/commander you would have to failover that role first with
    redundancy switchover

    That is for a running setup, for a new setup you would just provision the VSF stack as desired.

    VSF-2930F# show vsf
    VSF Domain ID : 1001
    MAC Address : f40343-6c0683
    VSF Topology : Chain
    VSF Status : Active
    Uptime : 0d 0h 4m
    VSF MAD : None
    VSF Port Speed : 1G
    Software Version : WC.16.10.0011

    Mbr
    ID MAC Address Model Pri Status
    --- ----------------- ------------------------------------- --- ---------------
    *2 98f2b3-b818c0 Aruba JL253A 2930F-24G-4SFP+ Switch 128 Commander
    3 f40343-6c0680 Aruba JL253A 2930F-24G-4SFP+ Switch 128 Standby
