2-6-2 VSU Lab Guide

1. The document provides instructions on configuring and verifying a Virtual Switching Unit (VSU) using two switches. 2. Key requirements include configuring the VSU domain ID, device IDs, priorities, and VSL ports on each switch. The switches are then configured to operate in VSU mode. 3. Verification steps include using commands to check the device status, VSL information, and VSU topology. This confirms the two switches have joined to operate as a single logical switch using the VSU technology.

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 Background

Deploying Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) on traditional networks brings the following problems: 1. Complicated network
topology and difficult management; 2. slow failover, usually in seconds; 3. blocking of some
interfaces, causing resource waste. The virtual switching unit (VSU) can be configured to solve
the preceding problems. It can simplify device management and network topology, shorten
fault recovery time to milliseconds, and increase link redundancy and bandwidth.

1.1.2 Purposes

1. Learn about and understand application scenarios of the VSU technology.

2. Have thorough understanding of the VSU configurations.

1.1.3 Topology

Topology of the VSU Lab

1.1.4 Requirements

1. Configure the VSU domain ID, device ID, device priority, device name, and VSL port on
each device forming the VSU.

2. Configure the VSU mode on each device.

1.1.5 Procedure

1. Configure SW1.

Set the VSU domain ID to 1, device ID to 1, device priority to 200, and VSU device name
to SW1 for SW1.

SW1> enable
SW1# configure terminal
SW1(config)# switch virtual domain 1
SW1(config-vs-domain)# switch 1
SW1(config-vs-domain)# switch 1 priority 200
SW1(config-vs-domain)# switch 1 description SW1
SW1(config-vs-domain))# exit
Configure tenGigabitEthernet 1/49 and tenGigabitEthernet 1/50 as VSL ports for SW1.

SW1(config)# vsl-port
SW1(config-vsl-port)# port-member interface tengigabitethernet 1/49
SW1(config-vsl-port)# port-member interface tengigabitethernet 1/50
SW1(config)# exit
Configure SW1 to work in VSU mode.

SW1# switch convert mode virtual


Convert mode will backup and delete config file, and reload the
switch. Are you sure to continue[yes/no]:yes
2. Configure SW2.

Set the VSU domain ID to 1, device ID to 2, device priority to 150, and VSU device name
to SW2 for SW2.

SW2> enable
SW2# configure terminal
SW2(config)# switch virtual domain 1
SW2(config-vs-domain)# switch 2
SW2(config-vs-domain)# switch 2 priority 150
SW2(config-vs-domain)# switch 2 description SW2
SW2(config-vs-domain))# exit
Configure tenGigabitEthernet 1/1 and tenGigabitEthernet 1/2 as VSL ports for SW2.

SW2(config)# vsl-port
SW2(config-vsl-port)# port-member interface Tengigabitethernet 1/49
SW2(config-vsl-port)# port-member interface Tengigabitethernet 1/50
SW2(config-vsl-port)# exit
Configure SW2 to work in VSU mode.

SW2# switch convert mode virtual


Convert mode will backup and delete config file, and reload the
switch. Are you sure to continue[yes/no]:yes
1.1.6 Verification
