Globally Enabling and Disabling the VSB System

Note

Note

Do not attempt to globally enable the VSB system before:

• Chassis IDs and the VSB system ID are assigned
• At least one interconnect port is VSB enabled
• Any required licenses are activated
• MAC address is assigned, if a non-default MAC address will be used

Chassis configured as bonded chassis with a chassis ID, system ID, and configured with one or more interconnect ports, maintain a status as individual physical chassis until globally enabled for VSB.

Once a chassis is globally enabled for VSB, you can no longer modify VSB configuration for:

• Chassis ID
• System ID
• Mac Address

Fan, PoE and power supply resources are chassis bound. In a VSB globally enabled system, hardware system statistics are displayed per VSB chassis using the show system hardware command. PoE capacities are not shared between VSB chassis. PoE resources are assigned to modules using the set inlinepower assigned command and viewed using the show inlinepower command, just as you would in a non-VSB system.

Use the set bonding enable command to globally enable the VSB system.

Use the set bonding disable command to disable a VSB system.

Note

Disabling a VSB system clears all non-VSB configuration on both chassis in the system. VSB licensing and a non-enabled VSB configuration persists. If you wish to clear the VSB chassis and system ID configuration after disabling VSB, use the clear bonding chassis command.
