VSS on Extreme BlackDiamond 8800 Series

[PIYAPONG_YWR]

Now I have 2 of BD-8800-Series using in my Core-Network. And I need to bring 2 chassis into 1 virtual switch for manage only one switch (Like VSS on Cisco).

I read from another article I have to use MLAG with VRRP together right?

Anyone have a solution for BD-8800-Series to using virtual switch stacking?

And NetSight can do this?

I'll go for MLAG and VRRP as well. Jeremy correctly stated that you'll still have to manage 2 separate Control Plane (config). 2 configs is obviously more than 1, but that's also more security. And, if correctly planned, both config should be very similar. Adding a new edge device into MLAG is just one line of config for MLAG, so not really a serious issue.

Thank you.

My advice is to use VRRP. Its standards based and you’re going to find a lot more info on VRRP than ESRP. From all the research I have done, VRRP would be the way to go, unless you need L2 redundancy.

Thank you.

I saw Extreme have ESRP. What's different about ESRP and VRRP. And can I try ESRP instead VRRP ?

And if anyone have an idea for single switch management, please advise to me.
