link
Syntax
link <LINK-ID> [<IFRANGE>]
Description
Creates or modifies a VSF link. The user can specify the physical interfaces that make up the VSF link.
Once an interface is part of a VSF link, all existing configuration on the interface is removed and the interface will operate as a VSF interface. At least one interface must be specified for the creation of a VSF link. VSF interfaces carry VSF traffic and can only be connected to other VSF interfaces.
The
no
form of the command can be used to remove interfaces from a link or remove configuration from the link completely.
When configuration is removed from a link, it may cause the stack to split.
Command context
vsf-member-<ID>#
Parameters
<LINK-ID>
- The VSF link number. Required. Range: 1-2.
<IFRANGE>
- The interface identifier range. Required.

Administrators
Examples
Creating and modifying VSF links:
switch(vsf-member-1)# link <1-2> VSF Link number switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 IFRANGE Interface identifier range <cr> switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/51 <cr> switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/49-1/1/50 <cr> switch(vsf-member-1)# link 2 1/1/52 <cr> switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/49 <cr> switch(vsf-member-5)# show running-config Current configuration: ! !Version ArubaOS-CX ! ! ! ! ssh maximum-auth-attempts 6 ! ! ! ! ! vlan 1 interface 1/1/49 no shutdown interface 1/1/52 no shutdown vsf member 1 type jl661ajl727a link 1 1/1/49 link 2 1/1/52 exit switch(vsf-member-1)# no link 1 <cr> switch(vsf-member-1)# no link 1 This will cause the stack to split. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y switch(vsf-member-1)# no link 2 This will cause the stack to split and the residual stack fragment will become unusable. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y switch(vsf-member-1)# show running-config Current configuration: ! !Version ArubaOS-CX SL.10.02.0020-741-g11104d6~dirty ! ! ! ! ssh maximum-auth-attempts 6 ! ! ! ! ! vlan 1 interface 1/1/52 no shutdown vsf member 1 type jl661ajl727a exit
Before removing an individual interface from the VSF link using the
no vsf link <x> <interface>
command, ensure that the interface is admin shutdown at both local and peer ends.
Example: Interface 1/1/25 on member 1 link 1 is connected to 2/1/25 on member 2 link 2. The user intends to remove 1/1/25 from link 1 of member 1. Interfaces 1/1/25 and 2/1/25 must be admin shutdown before removing them from the link configuration.
Before deleting the link using the
no link <x>
command, all individual interfaces in the VSF link must be admin shutdown both at local and peer ends.
