Description: The capability of the switch can be. A physical chassis can be a standalone switch in the normal environment or a switch which is part of the virtual switch architecture.
What is cvsSwitchCapability?
This reports what switching architectures a chassis's hardware and software are capable of supporting, whether standalone operation, virtual switch operation, or both. An admin cares because this tells you whether a given chassis is even eligible to be converted into a virtual switch member before attempting a mode change. For example, checking this value before attempting to convert a chassis into virtual switch mode confirms whether the hardware and software combination actually supports that architecture.
