Does anyone know how the VSS unit ID is derived or calculated prior to assigning ?? Cannot find this info, nor do I see a way to admin the unit ID. This is some arbitrary number making little sense. Looking to see how to change if it all possible to simply knowledge of who is active when you telnet it. Until mgmt stations are installed by customer you have to poke around with show commands and log etc. as the hostname doesnt change, and could be a failover during night and customer unaware as testing as shown no disruption in traffic when down. mgmt stations will monitor and alert to failover in near future but till then, showing customer what to look at, and brought about unit id and the fact that if it matched assigned switch # all would be simple
thanks in advance,
dave
