Charles,
You should only need to type 'switch mode accept virtual' just once, on the primary switch. If you typed it on each switch it tells me the VSL link never formed properly in initial conversion process.

Cheers,
Brad

Thanks Brad. I did that step on both, both of them rebooted, but both come up as the active sup, since the VSL link won't come up. The config on switch 2 is correct Reinhold, using port channel 20 and link 2 on that one. I'll be back with the devices tomorrow morning, I'll dig through the logs and some other int troubleshooting tomorrow.

Chuck

Charles,
FWIW, this happened to me once and it turned out I forgot the last
step in the VSS conversion process:

'switch mode accept virtual'.

Are you negotiating the channel (PAGP/LACP) or is it configured to
channel mode "ON"? IIRC Cisco recommends "ON" for the VSL. The
behaviour that you descibe looks like one interface is configured to
mode ON and the other end tries to negotiate the portchannel.

hth,

Reinhold

Yep, I'm using 'on'.  Here's the config for the Po and physical
ints.  Same on the other one too:

interface Port-channel10
description Switch 1 link to Switch 2
no switchport
no ip address
switch virtual link 1
mls qos trust cos
no mls qos channel-consistency
end

Router#sh run int t1/5/4
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 116 bytes
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/5/4
no switchport
no ip address
mls qos trust cos
channel-group 10 mode on
end

Thanks,

Chuck
