[c-nsp] VSS

[Mackinnon, Ian]

Not really relevant to the problem, but why are you running HSRP between 2 separate VSS instances?
Surely most of the point of VSS is it removed spanning trees and the need for HSRP, and you are now spreading vlans overs 2 switches again, giving you the potential for spanning tree again
Why are you using VSS? What benefit is it giving you in this setup?

Me, I'd be checking ingress and/or egress ACLs on the surviving links.
With vss1 switched off, traffic may be taking an "unusual" path to vss2.

Hi All,
We have two vss pairs , lets call them vss 1, vss 2. Vss 1 was turned off in order to test HSRP capabilities, this made vss 2 the active router for several vlans. We found the follwing issues:
Loopback address & HSRP address on vss 2 were not contactable. Vss 2 was forwarding traffic. Could this be a management plane issue, hardware?.
Vss pairs running 12.2.(33) sx14
