Re: VSS Strange Problem

Hi Experts,

I would like to thank you for your support. The version I am running is
12.2(33)SXI1. Do you think it has some caveats related to this?

One more thing which i noticed is that there is the command switch accept
mode virtual which copies the VSL configuration from the standby chassis to
the active chassis. Probably this is what I might be missing. Probably this
is the main reason behind the fact that when I put off one of the switches
and get it up again I have problems with VSS.

Your help is much appreciated.

Best Regards,
