Creating a Virtual Switch Configuration

Creating a Virtual Switch Configuration
You can create a configuration for a SecureStack C2 switch before adding the actual physical
device to a stack. This preconfiguration feature includes configuring protocols on the ports of the
"virtual switch."
To create a virtual switch configuration in a stack environment:
1. Display the types of switches supported in the stack, using the show switch switchtype
command (page 2‐7).
2. Using the output of the show switch switchtype command, determine the switch index (SID)
of the model of switch being configured.
3. Add the virtual switch to the stack using the set switch member command (page 2‐11). Use
the SID of the switch model, determined in the previous step, and the unit ID that you want to
assign to this switch member.
4. Proceed to configure the ports of the virtual switch as you would do for physically present
devices.
The following example adds a C2G124‐24 mode to a stack as unit 2 of the stack. The first port on
that virtual switch is then associated with VLAN 555.

Note: If you preconfigure a virtual switch and then add a physical switch of a different type to the
stack as that unit number, any configured functionality that cannot be supported on the physical
switch will cause a configuration mismatch status for that device and the ports of the new device will
join detached. You must clear the mismatch before the new device will properly join the stack.
