3. Connect another VCP on the primary external Routing Engine to the management port on the active
Routing Engine of another EX8200 member switch.
NOTE:
Step 4 is recommended, but you can skip it if you are not using a full mesh topology.
See Understanding EX8200 Virtual Chassis Topologies.
4. Connect a VCP on the backup external Routing Engine to the management ports on the backup Routing
Engines of both EX8200 member switches.
To connect another member switch into the Virtual Chassis, repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each EX8200
member switch.
Figure 28 on page 85
shows a cabling example of a full mesh EX8200 Virtual Chassis with two member
switches.
