Understanding Virtual Switching Systems
VSL Hardware Requirements
The VSL EtherChannel supports both 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports and 1- Gigabit Ethernet ports.
We recommend that you use at least two of the 10-Gigabit/1-Gigabit Ethernet ports to create the VSL
between the two switches. You cannot combine 10-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports in a VSL
port-channel.
Be aware of the following:
• You can add additional physical links to the VSL EtherChannel with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
on any supported supervisor engine or linecard.
Supervisor Engines 2 VSS is available on Supervisor Engine 7-E, Supervisor
Engine 7L-E, Supervisor Engine 8-E, and on the Catalyst
4500-X switch series.
All supervisor engines or systems in a VSS must match
precisely.
Linecard

0 to as many
linecard slots are
available in a
