Third-Party Switch VSX Cluster
The VSX Cluster card displays the VSX cluster related information when the switch is part of a VSX cluster. Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is virtualization technology for aggregation or core switches running the AOS-CX operating system. This solution lets the switches present as one virtualized switch in critical areas. Configuration synchronization is an aspect of the VSX solution where the primary switch configuration is synchronized with the secondary switch.
This card is displayed only for the AOS-CX switches. VSX is supported only in AOS-CX 6400, 8100, 8320, 8325, 8360, 8400, 9300, and 10000 Switch Series.
The following image displays the VSX Cluster card of a primary switch.
