The supported code used for this configuration and validation of all devices is listed in

the appendix of this guide.

Step 2: If you are using a Cisco Catalyst 6800 or 6500 Series chassis with the Cisco Catalyst 6900 Series

40-Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module with FourX adapters to convert CFP ports into four 10-Gigabit Ethernet

ports, configure the switch to enable the line card to use 10-Gigabit Ethernet functionality for the associated

port-group. If you configure this after converting to VSS, the switch parameter is required.

D6500-VSS(config)# hw-module switch [switch] slot [slot] operation-mode port-

group [port-group] TenGigabitEthernet

Example—command used before VSS conversion

D6500-VSS(config)# hw-module slot 1 operation-mode port-group 2

TenGigabitEthernet

Example—command used after VSS conversion

D6500-VSS(config)# hw-module switch 1 slot 1 operation-mode port-group 2

TenGigabitEthernet

Step 3: Convert standalone Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL or 6500-E Series Switches to VSS.

Configure a temporary hostname on each switch so you can keep track of your configuration steps. In a later

step after the conversion is complete, you apply a replacement hostname to the merged VSS configuration.

On the standalone switch #1:

Router#config t

Router#(config)#hostname VSS-Sw1

On the standalone switch #2:

Router#config t

Router#(config)#hostname VSS-Sw2

To form a VSS pair, each switch in the pair must have a matching domain ID assigned. To support the

interconnection of multiple VSS pairs, the domain ID selected for the pair should be unique. In this example, the

domain number is 1. Each switch is also given a unique identifier within the domain, switch 1 or switch 2.
