    Greetings!

     

    The configuration looks essentially correct; however, the configuration for all three members will actually be done on member 1.

     

    Start by configuring member 1's VSF links and priority, then enable VSF. Once the switch reboots into VSF mode as the stack Commander, configure the settings for members 2 and 3 (starting with the member type — 'vsf member 2 type <part number>') before connecting them to the Commander. Don't forget to use the VSF port numbering for the VSF links — 1/x for member 1, 2/x for member 2, etc.
