If the entire VSL bundle should fail, the Virtual <strong>Switch</strong>ing System Domain will enter a “Dual-Active” condition<br />

where both switches transition to Active state and share the same network configuration (IP addresses, MAC<br />

address, Router IDs, etc…) causing communication problems through the network…<br />

3 Step Process in Dual-Active Detection and Recovery:<br />

1<br />

Dual-Active detection uses PAgP to sends new Active<br />

switch ID in PAgP TLV field.<br />

VSS pair<br />

2<br />

Further network disruption is avoided by error-disabling<br />

previous VSS active switch interfaces connected to<br />

neighboring devices .<br />

3<br />

Dual-Active recovery, when VSL recovers, the switch that<br />

error-disabled its non-VSL interfaces in the previous step<br />

will reload to boot in standby state, re-enabling errordisabled<br />

ports<br />
