Create Port-Channel across two Cisco 4507R switches

Hello,

One of our sites has two Cisco 4507R switches which are connected via a port-channel of 2x 10Gb links.

I have a new server going in this week and I want to create a 4Gb team on this server.........can I create a port-channel for this 4Gb team on the core and stick 2x links on core 1 and the other 2x on core 2.

I'm more familiar with the Cisco 3750X range and stacking!

How can I tell if VSS is setup?

I have a feeling they are not because if I do a show vlan it only shows the ports on that individual switch

Jody Lemoine

The "show switch virtual" command will tell you.

Information on setting up VSS can be found here:

Doesnt look like its setup VSS.

I put the links on different blades in the end.

for the following reason:

switch was not setup as VSS

Jody Lemoine

That's really your only option in this case. If the commands weren't there, VSS likely isn't supported by your supervisors or software image. Sorry I didn't have better news.

Information was provided in the first comment indicating that multi-chassis channel aggregation can be done in a VSS configuration, but not where the switches are operating independently. The answer to the question may not have been the one hoped for, but it is still a valid answer to the question.
