Configuring Vsl Switch Priority - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 Configuring Virtual Switching Systems

Configuring VSL Switch Priority

To configure the switch priority, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch(config)# switch virtual domain 100
Step 2
Switch(config-vs-domain)# switch [1 | 2] priority
[priority_num]
Step 3
Switch# show switch virtual role
If you make configuration changes to the switch priority, the changes only take effect after you save the
Note
running configuration to the startup configuration file and perform a reload. The show switch virtual
role command shows the operating and configured priority values. You can manually set the VSS
Standby switch to VSS Active using the redundancy force-switchover command.
This example shows how to configure virtual switch priority:
Switch(config)# switch virtual domain 100
Switch(config-vs-domain)# switch 1 priority 200
Switch(config-vs-domain)# exit
This example shows how to display priority information for the VSS:
Switch# show switch virtual role

Purpose
Enters configuration mode for the virtual switch
domain.
Configures the priority for the switch. The switch
with the higher priority assumes the VSS Active role.
The range is 1 (lowest priority) to 255 (highest
priority); the default is 100.
Note
The new priority value only takes effect after you
•
save the configuration and perform a reload of
the VSS.
If the higher priority switch is currently in VSS
•
Standby state, you can make it the VSS Active
switch by initiating a switchover with the
redundancy force-switchover command.
The show switch virtual role command displays
the operating priority and the configured priority
for each switch in the VSS.
The no form of the command resets the priority
•
value to the default value of 100. The new value
takes effect after you save the configuration and
perform a reload.
Displays the current priority.
