Remove A Member Switch And Make Its Member Id Available For Reassignment To A Different Switch - Juniper EX4200 Hardware Manual

Remove a Member Switch and Make Its Member ID Available for Reassignment to a Different
Switch
To remove a switch from a Virtual Chassis without replacing it:
1. Power off and disconnect the member switch you want to remove from the Virtual Chassis.
2. If the Virtual Chassis configuration is preprovisioned, on the Virtual Chassis primary, remove the removed
switch's member setting from the preprovisioned configuration.
[edit virtual-chassis]
user@vc-master# delete member removed-member-id
If the Virtual Chassis configuration is nonprovisioned, change the mastership-priority values of each
member switch as needed to reconfigure the Virtual Chassis roles. See Configuring Primary Role of a
Virtual Chassis.
3. (Optional) If removing a member switch leaves only two remaining member switches in the Virtual
Chassis, we recommend you disable split detection in a two-member Virtual Chassis. See Disabling Split
and Merge in a Virtual Chassis for details.
4. Commit any configuration changes made in previous steps.
5. (For a mixed Virtual Chassis only) If removing this member switch changes the Virtual Chassis from a
mixed to a non-mixed Virtual Chassis, you must also remove the mixed-mode setting from the Virtual
Chassis. See Understanding Mixed EX Series and QFX Series Virtual Chassis for details on the combinations
of switches that comprise a mixed Virtual Chassis. You must reboot the Virtual Chassis for the mode
change to take effect. To do this, you can include the reboot option with the request virtual-chassis
mode mixed disable command that turns off mixed mode, or reboot all member switches of the Virtual
Chassis separately when ready to do so, as shown below.
user@vc-master> request virtual-chassis mode mixed disable all-members
user@vc-master> request system reboot all-members

switch if needed.
6. When you remove a member switch from a Virtual Chassis configuration, the primary keeps that
member switch's member ID in reserve. Use the following command on the Virtual Chassis primary to
make that member ID available for reassignment:
