IDSM-2 with VSS system

asabagh · ‎08-09-2010

Hi,

We are looking forward to install a Cisco 6513 with IDSM-2 in each chassis in a VSS mode. Does anyone have an experience with the configuration of the 6513 ? Also, lets assume I installed one active IDSM in each chassis with identical configuration... what happens when one of them fails ?

Appreciate your Support.

Hi Amro,

You would need to have one IDSM-2 in each chassis, because when the active VSS device fails the entire box will fail.

refer to this paper for more info on how to deploy IDSM in VSS:

Thank you Raza..

I have read the document. But what I am interested in is how the configuration would look like in case of Promescouse mode ot inline mode.

Amro,

Did you ever get any information about this? I am also planning on implementing VSS with each chassis having an IDSM module. Haven't figured out how to best deploy it (with configurations)

Thank you, Brian
