Virtual Chassis Feature Guide for EX9200 Switches
Configuring Virtual Chassis Ports to Interconnect Member Routers or Switches
40
To interconnect the member routers in an MX Series Virtual Chassis, you must use the
request virtual-chassis vc-port set
Chassis ports on Modular Port Concentrator/Modular Interface Card (MPC/MIC)
interfaces. To interconnect the member switches into an EX9200 Virtual Chassis, you
must use the request virtual-chassis vc-port set
into Virtual Chassis ports on line card interfaces. After the
is configured on both ends of the link, a Virtual Chassis port that is dedicated to the
set
task of interconnecting member devices is created and the link can no longer be used as
a standard network port.
NOTE: If you issue the
first installing an MX Virtual Chassis Redundancy Feature Pack license on
both member routers in an MX Series Virtual Chassis, the software displays
a warning message that you are operating without a valid Virtual Chassis
software license.
A software license is not needed to create an EX9200 Virtual Chassis.
To configure Virtual Chassis ports:
Configure the Virtual Chassis ports on the router or switch configured as member 0.
1.
a. Configure the first Virtual Chassis port that connects to member 1.
{local:member0-re0}
user@hostA> request virtual-chassis vc-port set fpc-slot fpc-slot-number pic-slot
pic-slot-number port port-number
After the Virtual Chassis port is created, it is renamed
line card associated with that port comes online. The line cards in the other member
devices remain offline until the Virtual Chassis forms.
For example, the following command configures Virtual Chassis port
on member 0:
{local:member0-re0}
user@hostA> request virtual-chassis vc-port set fpc-slot 2 pic-slot 2 port 0
vc-port successfully set
b. When the first Virtual Chassis port is up on member 0, repeat Step 1a to configure
the second Virtual Chassis port that connects to member 1.
{local:member0-re0}
user@hostA> request virtual-chassis vc-port set fpc-slot fpc-slot-number pic-slot
pic-slot-number port port-number
Configure the Virtual Chassis ports on the device configured as member 1.
