  • 1.  VSF Stacking Bandwidth

    Posted Jun 21, 2019 05:36 AM

    Hi,

    Can anyone confirm the VSF stacking bandwidth if I'm using 2 x 10Gig stack ports per slot on a pair of 2930Fs? 

    Are all stacking ports active and forwarding?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    On a pair of Switches deployed in VSF a single logical VSF Port should be used, on that single VSF Port one or more (generally up to physical interfaces can be aggregated...if you have aggregated two interfaces with, each one, a speed of 10Gbps - SFP+ case - then the VSF link bandwidth is the sum of single speed so 10Gbps+10Gbps=20Gbps.

    On a KB.16.05.0007 note how the output of show vsf command, the VSF Port Speed references to the single interface speed and not about the aggregate speed (bandwidth):

    To see the bandwidth you should issue the show vsf link utilization command:

     

     

    VSF# show vsf link detail
