You need to configure both the devices after which both the switches will form the VSS:

Best documents :

Here is a white paper on VSS to help you get started:

Also  here is our 6500 VSS configuration guide:

Simple way:

# host VSS

#switch virtual domain 100  >>> Domain id should be same on both the switch.

# Switch 1    --------------------------- Switch 2 at the other switch.

# int po1

# switch vitual link 1 >>>> Defining the Virtual link to Po1. (VSL link)

int t5/4

channel-group 1 mode on >>> Assining the portchannel.

#Switch convert mode virtual >>>> This will convert the standalone machine to VSS and it reboots automatically.

# reload >> This will reload both the VSS chasis

# redundancy reload shelf 1/2 >> To reload each chasis in vss 1/.2 defines the switch ids.

Thanx for you quick reply.. But i didn't mean the VSS configuration itself , i mean switch configuration such as VLANs , OSPF

Mirinda,

Once you configure the VSS there will be only one Active Plane.

Hence what ever you configure that would automatically present. You will not hae/get the option to configure on second switch. There will be only once active plan and what ever you configure that would be reflected to other automatically.
