Creating a Virtual Switch Configuration

To create a virtual switch configuration in a stack environment:

1.Display the types of switches supported in the stack, using the show switch switchtype command (page 2‐7).

2.Using the output of the show switch switchtype command, determine the switch index (SID) of the model of switch being configured.

3.Add the virtual switch to the stack using the set switch member command (page 2‐11). Use the SID of the switch model, determined in the previous step, and the unit ID that you want to assign to this switch member.

4.Proceed to configure the ports of the virtual switch as you would do for physically present devices.

The following example adds a C3G124‐24 mode to a stack as unit 2 of the stack. The first port on that virtual switch is then associated with VLAN 555.

Note: If you preconfigure a virtual switch and then add a physical switch of a different type to the stack as that unit number, any configured functionality that cannot be supported on the physical switch will cause a configuration mismatch status for that device and the ports of the new device will join detached. You must clear the mismatch before the new device will properly join the stack.
