RE: OT: VSS dual active detection mechanisms

James,

We're doing the same:

show switch virtual dual-active fast-hello
Fast-hello dual-active detection enabled: Yes

Fast-hello dual-active interfaces:
Port Local State Peer Port Remote State
---------------------------------------------------
Gi1/1/48 Link up Gi2/1/48 Link up

One thing to remember though, fast hellos are only supported if you're running SXI. I tried the ePaGP route to a stack of 3750G's running 12.2(55)SE, no luck.

Am I missing something???

Core-01#show switch virt dual-active fast-hello Fast-hello dual-active detection enabled: Yes

Fast-hello dual-active interfaces:
Port Local State Peer Port Remote State
---------------------------------------------------
Gi1/1/48 Link up Gi2/1/48 Link up

Core-01#

I think you can spare 1 Gig port per chassis (2 total). I can't even imagine the fun experienced with two active Core Switches. Sounds like an RGE to me.
