Re: Best Practice on 6500

Hi,

Have a look here first:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9336/products_tech_note09186a0080a7c837.shtml
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System Deployment Best Practices.

and then here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/vss.html#wp1062785
Configuring Virtual Switching Systems.

Specific extract for your question:

<snip>
Understanding VSL Topology

A VSS contains two chassis that communicate using the VSL, which is a
special port group.

We recommend that you configure both of the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports on
the supervisor engines as VSL ports. Optionally, you can also configure
the VSL port group to contain switching module 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports. This configuration provides additional VSL capacity.

Best regards, Andy
