Supported topologies

  • A VSF fabric can have up to eight members.

  • A VSF member can have up to two VSF links.

  • A VSF fabric with ring topology is recommended. Loss or failure of one link in this topology will degrade the topology to chain, without losing any VSF members from the stack. Traffic will still continue with minimal loss of in-flight traffic.
