You can designate the role that a member performs within a Virtual Chassis configuration
or you can allow the role to be assigned by default. You can designate the member ID
that is assigned to a specific switch by creating a permanent association between the
switch's serial number and a member ID, using a preprovisioned configuration. Or you
can let the member ID be assigned by the master, based on the sequence in which the
member switch is powered on and on which member IDs are currently available.
The role and member ID of the member switch are displayed on the front-panel LCD.
Each member switch can be cabled to one or two other member switches, using either
the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on the rear panel, an uplink module port that
has been configured as a VCP, or an SFP network port on a J-EX4200-24F switch that
has been configured as a VCP. The members that are cabled together are considered
neighbor members.
To display the role and member ID assignments using the CLI, use the
status command:
user@SWA-0> show virtual-chassis status
Virtual Chassis ID: 0000.e255.00e0
Member ID Status Serial No
0 (FPC 0) Prsnt abc123
1 (FPC 1) Prsnt def456
2 (FPC 2) Prsnt abd231
This output verifies that three J-EX4200 switches have been interconnected as a Virtual
Chassis configuration using their dedicated VCPs . The display shows which of the VCPs
is connected to which neighbor. The first port (
member 1 and the second port of member
slots for J-EX Series switches are the same as the member IDs.
The Mastership Priority values indicate that the master and backup members have been
explicitly configured, because they are not using the default value (
