Modifying VSF Links Using UI

You can modify VSF ports in the VSF links through the UI only when the admin status in the Ports & Link Aggregations page and operational status in the switch details page for the VSF link ports are down.

To change the VSF links in the VSF stack, complete the following steps:

  1. Set the filter to Global or the group containing the stack.
  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.

    A list of switches is displayed in the List view.

  3. Select the conductor switch of the stack for which you want to modify the links and navigate to the Ports & Link Aggregations page.
  4. Select the VSF ports that you want to modify and click the edit icon.
  5. In the Edit Ports page, clear the Admin Up check box to shut down the port.
  6. Remove the physical VSF links from the port that need to be modified.
  7. Reconnect the physical links to the port as required.
  8. At the group level, navigate to the VSF Stacking page and expand the stack and point to the member for which you want to modify the links, and click the edit icon.
  9. In the Edit Stack Member window, modify the VSF links as required. You cannot edit the VSF links when the ports are up. Both Link 1 port(s) and Link 2 port(s) should not be modified at the same time. Otherwise, the stack might break.

Before modifying VSF links, power down all non-standby members that are connected to the member you are going to modify. This prevents the members from getting into the recovery mode, after multiple reboots, when they get disconnected.
