NOTE: If you do not edit the Virtual Chassis configuration file, a
nonprovisioned configuration is generated by default. The mastership priority
value for each member switch is
You can change the role that is performed by the members by modifying the
mastership-priority. See "Configuring Mastership of the Virtual Chassis (CLI
Procedure)" on page 790. We recommend that you specify the same mastership
priority value for the desired master and backup members. We have assigned
the highest possible mastership priority to two members. However, the
member that was powered on first has higher prioritization according to the
master election algorithm. See "Understanding How the Master in a Virtual
Chassis Configuration Is Elected" on page 698. We have allowed the other
members to use the default mastership priority, which qualifies them to
function in the role of linecard.
NOTE: If you want to change the member ID that the master has assigned
to a member switch, use the request virtual-chassis renumber command.

To take advantage of the scalability features of J-EX4200 switches, you can configure
a Virtual Chassis that includes up to 10 member switches. You can interconnect the
