HP Aruba JL253A Management And Configuration Manual page 696

NOTE: The following configuration methods can be applied to a stack having more than four
members too.
Automatic configuration of a VSF can be configured using two methods:
• without provisioning
• with provisioning
◦ Chassis type, called loose provisioning
◦ Chassis type and MAC-address, called strict provisioning
Without provisioning:
1. Do not connect the ports initially. Since the ports are Ethernet ports, connecting them in a ring topology can
cause loops. Note down the J-number & MAC address of each switch. The J-number is available on the front
panel of the switch while the MAC address is available on the back panel of the switch.
2. Connect to the console of the member intended to be the commander (member 1 in this example). To enable
VSF on the member, execute the following commands:
Switch# configure
Switch(config)# vsf member 1 priority 200
Switch(config)# vsf member 1 link 1 22
All configuration on this port has been removed and port is placed in VSF mode.
Switch(config)# vsf member 1 link 2 23
All configuration on this port has been removed and port is placed in VSF mode.
Switch(config)# vsf enable domain 3144
To enable VSF, the REST interface will be disabled.
This will save the current configuration and reboot the switch.
Continue (y/n)? y
The preceding sequence of commands will configure the switch as member 1, with priority 200. The ports 22
and 23 are configured on VSF links 1 and 2 respectively. VSF is now enabled. The domain must be specified
while enabling VSF.
3. Upon reboot, the switch is a one-member stack. Execute the show vsf command:
Switch# show vsf

4. Physically connect the switch with default configuration to the configured VSF links on member 1. The new
switch will automatically reboot to join the stack as the Standby.
