6500 VSS Link

[communication.boy]

Is it complusory to configure 6500 VSS using 10G link only ? Cant I use normal ethernet cables ( RJ 45 ) and use 8 of them to make etherchannel which would be used as VSL .

I have a set of 6500 VSS but as the supervisor has 10G ports but not the module I was thinking if there is an alternate . Else I will have to purchase

X2-10GB-SR .

The VSL links have to be 10Gig links.  So, you can use the 2 10Gig ports on the Sup, if you don't have the budget to purchase a line card.

I will be using 10G links from Sup . Sup comes with 2 10G ports but not modules . I need to purchase modules for that i.e. X2-10GB-SR

All you have to do is to get the X2 optics for the ports on the sup (quantity of 2)
