VSB System MAC address Configuration

By default, the VSB system MAC address is set to an internal MAC address associated with VSB chassis 1. You can manually set a MAC address for the VSB system using the set bonding mac command. A unique MAC address for each chassis requires a host master election which results in a reset of all non-host master chassis in the stack. This can be disruptive when adding or replacing a chassis in the VSB stack.

Note

Note

The VSB system MAC address can not be changed while VSB is globally enabled on the system. You must disable VSB using the set bonding disable command before you can modify a globally enabled VSB system MAC address. Disabling VSB on a globally enabled system clears the configuration on both system chassis.

Prior to globally enabling VSB on the system, you can reset a manually configured VSB system MAC address to the default value using the clear bonding mac command.
