Configuring a VSS
We do not recommend that you convert a VSS to standalone in a live network.
Converting the VSS Standby Switch to Standalone
When you convert the new VSS Active switch to standalone mode, the switch removes the provisioning
and configuration information related to VSL links and the peer switch modules, saves the configuration
file and performs a reload. The switch comes up in standalone mode with only its own provisioning and
configuration data.
To convert the peer switch to standalone, perform this task on the VSS Standby switch:
Command
Switch-2# switch convert mode stand-alone
