  • 1.  VSF - creating a 2 member stack

    Posted Apr 28, 2023 08:31 PM

    Hey there 

    I am trying to create a new VSF stack
    I have two Aruba 6300m switches. I have 10gb aruba cable and plan to use ports 1/49 on each. Any assistance would be amazing :)

    Hi!

    Have you read first these two specific documents freely available on ASP https://asp.arubanetworks.com/ ?

    VSF Best practices for Aruba CX 6300 Switch Series Tchnical Whitepaper (it's a little bit old, published during 2020)
    ArubaOS-CX 10.11 Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) Guide for Aruba CX 6200, 6300 Switch Series (very recent)

    IMHO both are very important lectures to familiarize with before planning a VSF deployment on Aruba CX 6300.

    depending on the firmware version, you could use auto-VSF, but basically, this is the manual way of doing it.

    6300-1
    6300-1(config)# vsf member 1
    6300-1(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/49
    6300-1(vsf-member-1)# link 2 1/1/50
    6300-1(vsf-member-1)#

    6300-2
    6300-2(config)# vsf member 1
    6300-2(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/49
    6300-2(vsf-member-1)# link 2 1/1/50
    6300-2(vsf-member-1)#exit
    6300-2(config)# vsf renumber-to 2
    This will save the VSF configuration and reboot the switch.
    Do you want to continue (y/n)? y

    Then once you have a working VSF stack (show vsf), configure the secondary member.
    6300-1
    6300-1(config)# vsf secondary-member 2
    This will save the configuration and reboot the specified switch.
    Do you want to continue (y/n)? y
    6300-1(config)#

    once the second 6300 reboots , do a "show vsf" to check it.
