Aruba 6200F VSF Configuration

This guide will allow you as a network administrator to easily configure your Aruba 6200F CX switches without any hassle.

Boot up both systems in factory default mode.

Connect your console cable to the primary switch and enter the following commands.

switch# configure
switch (config)# vsf member 1
switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/51
switch(vsf-member-1)# link 2 1/1/52
switch(vsf-member-1)# exit
switch (config)# vsf secondary-member 2

Notice that it doesn’t show a message that your VSF configuration is complete.
Also, a reboot is not required for the primary switch.
But with the show vsf command you can see that VSF is in effect.

Now connect your console cable to the secondary switch and enter the following commands.

switch# configure
switch (config)# vsf member 1
switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/51
switch(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/52
switch(vsf-member-1)# exit
switch(config)# vsf renumber-to 2

Now it will ask you to reboot and it will join the primary stack.
