Re: Best Practice on 6500

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply. I think i didn't communicated it in a right way. I am
not looking for VSS support.

Though we have VSS supervisor we don't plan to implement VSS right now. My
question is that these VSS sups have 2 (10 Gig ) Ports. Is it advisable to
use these Supervisor ports for uplink connectivity in networks. So if these
switches are connected to some upstream switch should we use these ports for
the connectivity to that switches.

thanks
