Configuring the two aggregate VSX switches
The steps in this section are for configuring the two aggregate VSX switches, as described in Sample VSX solution topology. VSX switches do not automatically have VSX configuration synchronization enabled. After completing the steps in this section, enable VSX configuration synchronization for a feature, as described in VSX configuration synchronization. VSX synchronization sync configuration information from the primary switch (Aggregate-1) to the secondary switch (Aggregate-2). After completing the steps in this section, enable VSX configuration synchronization for a feature, as described in Enabling VSX configuration synchronization.
A VSX LAG supports a maximum of four member links per switch segment. A VSX LAG across a downstream switch can have at most a total of eight member links. Run the
show capacities
command for the maximum number of VSX LAGs supported for your type of switch.
When creating a VSX LAG, select an equal number of member links in each segment for load balancing, such as four member links (one segment) and four member links (another segment). Do not create a VSX LAG with four member links in one switch and two member links on another segment. A switch can have a maximum of four member links.
