Extreme VSS and NFS (CISCO)

[Tavares_Belmont]

Hello guys,

I would like to connect two switches stack and configure they like a NFS or VSS like cisco devices, to provide more redundancy if one member fail all traffic, RIB, mac-table and so on will be forwarded to another member, its possible do it with extreme switch?

Hum i see, however my costumer decided to manage two stacks switchs as if they were just a one... If i configure MLAG i cant do it correct?

Tavares,

Yes VSB (Very similar to VSS) can be done with S Series (EOS Operating System) and MLAG is done with XOS (Legacy purple products..).

Tavares,

You cannot configure two stacks together, they would be two separate control/data planes. We do have a solution called MLAG that would allow for the same solution but the configuration is separate, the details are here: http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/exos/EXOS_All/Slots_and_Ports/c_blackdiamond-x8-series-swit...

Take a look...
