How to configure VSU for Ruijie Switch in RGOS 11.x?

VSU is a technology that virtualizes multiple devices into one device to manage and use, which can significantly reduce management complexity and topology logic complexity. VSUs are usually connected to peripheral devices using aggregation ports, which can effectively utilize redundant links while improving the forwarding capacity of the system.

The commands are as follow

1. Initial configuration of the primary and backup core switches

SW1:

Switch1>en

Switch1# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. Endwith CNTL/Z.

Switch1(config)# switch virtual domain 1

Switch1(config-vs-domain)# switch 1

Switch1(config-vs-domain)#switch 1 priority200------>The default priority is 100, configure it to a higher priority, VSU will become the management host after successful establishment.

Switch1(config-vs-domain)# exit

Switch1(config)#vsl-port------>At least 2 VSL links are required, one link is lessreliable and the VSU will be very unstable when there is a link oscillation.

Switch1(config-vsl-port)# port-member interfaceTenGigabitEthernet 2/1------>ConfiguringVSL Links

Switch1(config-vsl-port)# port-member interfaceTenGigabitEthernet 2/2

Switch1(config-vsl-port)# exit

SW2:

Switch2# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. Endwith CNTL/Z.     

Switch2(config)# switch virtual domain 1  ------>domaindid must be the same as the first

Switch2(config-vs-domain)#switch 2    ------>Thesecond device must change its ID to 2

Switch2(config-vs-domain)#switch 2 priority150     

Switch2(config-vs-domain)# exit

Switch2(config)#vsl-port    ------>Atleast 2 VSL links are required, one link is less reliable and the VSU can bevery unstable when there is a link oscillation.

Switch2(config-vsl-port)# port-member interfaceTenGigabitEthernet 2/1 ------>ConfiguringVSL Links     

Switch2(config-vsl-port)# port-member interfaceTenGigabitEthernet 2/2

Switch2(config-vsl-port)# exit   

2. Connect the VSL link and make sure the interface isUP     

3. Save the configuration of the two devices and switch to VSU mode together

SW1:

Switch1#  wr

Switch1#  switch  convertmode virtual
------>Transfer to VSU mode



Convert  modewill backup and delete config file, and reload the switch. Are you sure to  continue[yes/no]
：
yes


Do you want to recover  config file from backup file in virtual mode(press 'ctrl + c'  to cancel) [yes/no]
：
no


no means clear for reallocation
，



SW2:

Switch2#  wr


Switch2#  switch convert mode virtual  
------>Transfer to VSU mode

Are  you sure to convert switch to virtual mode[yes/no]
：
yes


Do  you want to recover config file from backup file in virtual  mode (press 'ctrl + c' to cancel) [yes/no]
：
no  



After selecting the conversion mode, the device will reboot and start and form the VSU.

2) The engine Primary light of the VSU host is always on in green, and the Primary light of the VSU slave is off, which can be used to determine the master-slave system (the device priority is specified in advance, and the device with high priority will become the host)

4. Confirmation of successful VSU establishment

Ruijie#  show switch virtual role  ------- Check that the primary backup is as expected
