RE: VSS and PFC3A

SXH does not support any service modules in a VSS setup, there you will need
SXI and if you will be using the new 10G sfp modules you will need to run at
least SXI2 software.

Btw I have seen some using the 6708 and 6716 10G modules for the VSS link.
Can anyone explain why you would do that?

I always just use both of the 10G links in the supervisor, some would say
that this is for redundancy, but where is the redundancy in this?

Best regards
Martin Kiefer

Correct,

I have a VSS pair, with WS-X6748 with CFC.
The only problem which I faced was the IOS, which must be SXI, not SXH. SXH
does not support FWSM modules in VSS.

Hi Andy
This is not correct.
Only the cards with VSL on it need to have DFC3C and the Sup has to be
PFC3c.
All the rest has to be a 67xx-Linecard but no matter if CFC or DFC3c.
Important is, if DFC, it has to be 3c.
Cheers
-Lukas

Hi Ram,

Yes, you have to have PFC3C to run in VSS mode. In addition, all modules
equipped with DFC's must also be DFC3C.
