1.3.3 Procedure for Configuring Hot Standby (VCS)
The VCS (Virtual Chassis System) is afeature that provides virtualization and clusteringcapabilities for switches.
VCS technology allows multiple physical switches to form a logically unified device, creating a virtual switch
stack. This stack is treated as a single entity with shared management and data planes.
Hot standby can improve data forwarding reliability when an NBS switch is used as the core switch. By stacking
two switches and automatically switching to thestandby switch when the active switch fails, hot standby ensures
uninterrupted data forwarding in the event of a single point of failure.

Caution
Hot standby is supported only on NBS7006 and NBS7003 series switches.
Only two switches are supported to form a hot standby group.
When multiple switches are configured, select 10GE interfaces as hot standby interfaces to connect the
member switches.
Stacking: refers to physically connecting multiple switches with stack cables, allowing them to operate as a
single logical unit for data forwarding.
(1) Enter the default IP address 10.44.77.200 in the address bar of your browser to go to the web management
interface of the NBS switch. Click the Hot Standby tab (or click Configure in the red box below if the
switch is not yet configured).
(2) Click Start Setup.

(3) Connect both switches using a network cable on their 10GE interfaces. Then, choose Dual-Device Config,
and click Next.
(4) Select the active switch and click Next.
(5) Select the standby switch.
(6) Select the hot standby interfaces. You are advised to select two adjacent interfaces on a switch, and can
select up to four interfaces on each device for hot standby. These hot standby interfaces must be 10GE
interfaces. By default, the active switch has a priority of 200, while the standby switch has a priority of 100.
If the priority is changed, a switch with a higher priority will become the active switch.

(7) Then, click Next. Use a 10GE cable to connect the hot standby interfaces that you have selected. (The
following figure shows an example of connecting Interface 49 of Device 1 to Interface 49 of Device 2.)
(8) After the cables are connected, proceed as prompted, and wait for the device to reboot successfully.
Caution
To delete the hot standby configuration, ensure that the network cable connecting the hot standby interfaces is
disconnected. Failure to do so may result in a loop that can cause network disconnection.
1.4 Work Mode
The device supports two work modes: Standalone and Self-Organizing Network. It works in Self-Organizing
Network mode by default. The system presents different menu items based on the work mode. To modify the
work mode, see Switching the Work Mode.

Self-Organizing Network: After the self-organizing network discovery function is enabled, the device can be
discovered in the network and discover other devices in the network. Devices network with each other based on
the device status and synchronize global configuration. You can log in to the Web management page of the
device to check management information about all devices in the network. After self-organizing network
discovery is enabled, users can maintain and manage the current network more efficiently. You are advised to
keep this function enabled.
When the device is in self-organizing network mode, the Web page has two configuration modes: the network
mode and the local device mode. For more information, see Switching the Management Mode.
Standalone mode: If the self-organizing network discovery function is disabled, the device will not be
discovered in the network. After logging in to the Web page, you can configure and manage only the currently
logged in device. If only one device is configured or global configuration does not need to be synchronized to
the device, you can disable the self-organizing network discovery function.
