Vsf Domain Id; Vsf Link; Physical Vsf Ports; Vsf Member Id - HP Aruba JL253A Management And Configuration Manual

VSF domain ID

VSF uses VSF domain IDs to uniquely identify VSF fabrics and prevent VSF fabrics from interfering with one
another. One VSF fabric forms one VSF domain.

VSF link

A VSF link is a logical interface that connects VSF member devices. Every VSF-capable device supports a VSF
link.
I-Link<Member ID>_1 is the default VSF link name.
To configure a VSF link, a minimum of one physical interface should be bound to the link. The bound physical
interfaces are automatically aggregated to form a VSF link. A VSF link goes down only if all its VSF physical
interfaces are down.

Physical VSF ports

VSF ports connect VSF member devices and must be bound to using a VSF link. These VSF ports forward VSF
protocol packets and data traffic. Up to eight ports can be bound to a VSF link.
NOTE: Once a port is bound to a VSF link, all existing configuration associated with the port, such as
VLAN membership and speed, will be removed.

VSF member ID

VSF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and manage its members. The first part of the interface module
number is the Member ID information, which identifies interfaces in a VSF fabric. The device that wins the election
