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.

NOTE:

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.

Authority

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.
