Hi Nick,
I haven't done with Cisco VSS, however I have linked a pair of Dell F10
MXL-10/40GbEs with a pair of Cisco Nexus N3Ks
On the Cisco Nexus end I used VPC and VLT on the Dell F10 side.
Both sides were setup with LACP and worked fine without issues. As far
as each side was concerned they were in a port channel with a single
switch running LACP
Hope that helps.
Regards
David

Haven't tested it with Dell(force10 stuffs), but have with several
other vendors and never had a problem with LAG implementation using
the standard so I'd assume it would work but you just never know,
different hardware versions, code versions, etc.. bugs..

I am familiar with the theory
I was wondering If anyone had actually done this, and if there are
any real world caveats.
I will be testing this week, however the kit is in Hong Kong, so it's
a bit "remote handsy"

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Dell VLT to Cisco VSS
VSS is single control plane so it's all one big chassis, the dell
switch would have no idea it isn't connected to a single 6500 and
should work without issues.
VPC is dual control planes using mLAG which is still transparent to
the LAG partner as long as the control protocol is standard (802.1ax
w/ LACP for
example) there *should* be no issues.
stritcly talking about link aggregation here, whatever else you might
be running is another story as with everything... test it first :)

I'm told Dell VLT is very similar to Nexus VPC.
I plan to connect 2 Dell S4820T switches to a VSS'ed 6500 (QSFP+
breakout cables) It would be similar to 2 nexus5/7k's connected to a
VSS pair.
Or am I a mad man, dancing with inter-vendor prop tech - and would
be better off with a normal LACP port channel to one 6500, for each
switch?
Does anyone have an field experience doing this?
Thanks,
Nick
