Cisco VSS简易配置向导
VSS是思科的一种交换机集群技术,可将两台物理交换机虚拟成一台逻辑交换机。两台物理交换机通过VSL链路连接,用于承载控制平面和转发平面流量。本文以两台Catalyst 4500为例,展示如何配置VSS。
名词:
VSS - Virtual Switching System
VSL - Virtual Switch Link
配置步骤:
1. 配置Virtual Switch Domain和Switch Numbers
首先,您须在 VSS 的两台交换机上配置相同的Virtual Switch Domain。Virtual Switch Domain是1到255之间的数字。然后您须将一台交换机配置为Switch Number 1,另一台交换机配置为Switch Number 2。
SW1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
SW1(config)#switch virtual domain 10
Domain ID 10 config will take effect only
after the exec command 'switch convert mode virtual' is issued
SW1(config-vs-domain)#switch 1
SW1(config-vs-domain)#exit
SW1(config)#
SW2#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
SW2(config)#switch virtual domain 10
Domain ID 10 config will take effect only
after the exec command 'switch convert mode virtual' is issued
SW2(config-vs-domain)#switch 2
SW2(config-vs-domain)#exit
SW2(config)#
2. 配置VSL PortChannel
您需要在每台交换机上使用PortChannel配置 VSL。PortChannel号需要不一样,否则VSS不能正常建立将进入 RPR 模式。为避免这种情况,请为两个交换机上的两个PortChannel分配不同编号。
SW1(config)#int port-channel 5
SW1(config-if)#switchport
SW1(config-if)#switch virtual link 1
SW1(config-if)#no shut
SW1(config-if)#exit
*Jan 24 05:19:57.092: %SPANTREE-6-PORTDEL_ALL_VLANS: Port-channel5 deleted from all Vlans
SW2(config)#int port-channel 10
SW2(config-if)#switchport
SW2(config-if)#switch virtual link 2
SW2(config-if)#no shut
SW2(config-if)#exit
SW2(config)#
*Jan 24 05:14:17.273: %SPANTREE-6-PORTDEL_ALL_VLANS: Port-channel10 deleted from all Vlans
3. 配置VSL端口
将 VSL 物理端口添加到PortChannel。在以下示例中,Switch 1上的Gi7/3和Gi7/4接口连接到Switch 2上的Gi4/45和Gi4/46接口。
SW1(config)#int range gig7/3 - 4
SW1(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
SW1(config-if-range)#channel-group 5 mode on
WARNING: Interface GigabitEthernet7/3 placed in restricted config mode. All extraneous configs removed!
WARNING: Interface GigabitEthernet7/4 placed in restricted config mode. All extraneous configs removed!
SW1(config-if-range)#exit
SW2(config)#int range gig4/45 - 46
SW2(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
SW2(config-if-range)#channel-group 10 mode on
WARNING: Interface GigabitEthernet4/45 placed in restricted config mode. All extraneous configs removed!
WARNING: Interface GigabitEthernet4/46 placed in restricted config mode. All extraneous configs removed!
SW2(config-if-range)#exit
注意:一旦使用“channel-group”命令将接口放入VSL端口通道,则接口进入“notconnect”状态。Interface status显示为UP,但line protocol将down。接口将处于up/down状态,直到交换机在步骤 4 中重新启动。
4. 切换交换机至Virtual Switch模式
在switch 1上输入switch convert mode virtual
命令将交换机转换为 Virtual Switch模式。系统创建一个转换后的配置文件,并将配置文件保存到bootflash,并自动重启。
SW1#switch convert mode virtual
This command will convert all interface names
to naming convention "interface-type switch-number/slot/port",
save the running config to startup-config and
reload the switch.
Do you want to proceed? [yes/no]: yes

同样的操作命令将switch 2转换为Virtual Switch模式:
SW2#switch convert mode virtual
This command will convert all interface names
to naming convention "interface-type switch-number/slot/port",
save the running config to startup-config and
reload the switch.

重启完毕后交换机将处于Virtual Switch模式,可以通过如下命令验证。
show switch virtual
查询virtual switch domain number和switch number及角色(Active or Standby)。
SW1#sh switch virtual
Executing the command on VSS member switch role = VSS Active, id = 1
Switch mode : Virtual Switch
Virtual switch domain number : 10
Local switch number : 1
Local switch operational role: Virtual Switch Active
Peer switch number : 2
Peer switch operational role : Virtual Switch Standby
Executing the command on VSS member switch role = VSS Standby, id = 2
Switch mode : Virtual Switch
Virtual switch domain number : 10
Local switch number : 2
Local switch operational role: Virtual Switch Standby
Peer switch number : 1
Peer switch operational role : Virtual Switch Active
- Standby Switch用console登录后无法查看和修改配置,仅能看到如下提示:
SW2-standby>
Standby console disabled

VSS正常运作后,交换机端口号由原来的Gi x/x自动转换成了Gi 1/x/x或Gi 2/x/x。1和2为两台硬件交换机编号,从逻辑上你可以把这两台交换机当作一台交换机了。你可以分别在这两台交换机上选一个端口比如Gi1/0/8和Gi2/0/8与其它交换机建立PortChannel。
