Adding a New EX4200 Switch to an Existing EX4200 Virtual Chassis (CLI
Procedure)
This topic explains how to add an EX4200 switch to an existing EX4200 Virtual Chassis. For information
about adding an EX4200 switch to an EX4500 Virtual Chassis or a mixed Virtual Chassis, see Adding an
EX4200 Switch to a Preprovisioned EX4500 Virtual Chassis or a Preprovisioned Mixed EX4200 and EX4500
Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure).
To add an EX4200 switch to an existing EX4200 Virtual Chassis, use the procedure that matches what
you need to accomplish:

Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Within the Same Wiring Closet | 217

Adding a New Switch from a Different Wiring Closet to an Existing Virtual Chassis | 219
Adding a New Switch to an Existing Preprovisioned Virtual Chassis Using Autoprovisioning and
Automatic VCP Conversion | 221
Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Within the Same Wiring Closet
This procedure can be used to add an EX4200 switch to an EX4200 Virtual Chassis.
Before you begin, be sure you have:
Mounted the new switch in a rack.
Confirmed that the new switch is powered off.
If you are expanding a preprovisioned configuration, made a note of the serial number (the number is
on the back of the switch). You will need to edit the Virtual Chassis configuration to include the serial
number of the new member switch.
If you are expanding a preprovisioned configuration, edited the existing Virtual Chassis configuration to
include the serial number of the new member switch. The parameters specified in the primary Virtual
Chassis configuration file are applied to the new switch after it has been interconnected to an existing
member switch.
NOTE: After you have created a preprovisioned Virtual Chassis configuration, you can use
the autoprovisioning feature to add member switches to that configuration.
(Optional) Configured Ethernet interfaces on different member switches into the same LAG.. See Example:

an EX4200 Virtual Chassis Distribution Switch
