Hi all, last weekend one switch in our VSS pair failed. Redundancy/VSS did work and we kept our connectivity besides a couple of hosts that only have a single uplink and were connected to that particular chassis.
When I came to the data centre I found the failed chassis in rommon. A simple "boot" command restored everything to working order. Now to spare me that drive in case that happens again - is it possible to use the console port of a working Catalyst 6500 to act as a terminal server for the other one? We have quite a lot of spare rollover cables ;-) I found these instructions but I think I'm missing something: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/dial-access/asynchronous-connections/5466-comm-server.html ip host other 2000 1.2.3.4 Core2#telnet 1.2.3.4 2000 Trying 1.2.3.4, 2000 ... % Connection refused by remote host I used the real IP address of looppback0, of course. Side note/question: any idea what could cause a Cat6500 VS-S720-10G to fail, reset (I can understand *that*) and then not boot into IOS and stay in rommon? Standby BOOT variable = sup-bootdisk:s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ10.bin,1;disk0:s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ10.bin,1; Standby Configuration register is 0x2102 Core2#dir slavesup-bootdisk: ... s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ10.bin Thanks!
