Remove, Repair, And Reinstall The Same Switch - Juniper EX4200 Hardware Manual

7. If you want to use the removed switch as a standalone switch, you must remove any Virtual Chassis
configuration items and settings on that switch. For a smooth transition to a new role as a standalone
switch, we recommend to revert the switch to its default factory configuration using the request system
zeroize command, and then apply the configuration items you want on the switch.
If you do not want to revert to default factory settings, use commands such as the following to remove
Virtual Chassis settings for the mode and VCPs from the removed switch:
a. If you removed the switch from a mixed-mode Virtual Chassis that is not an EX4300 mixed Virtual
Chassis, disable the mixed-mode setting on the switch as follows:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed disable
If you removed a non-multigigabit model EX4300 switch from a mixed EX4300 Virtual Chassis that
contains multigigabit EX4300 switches (EX4300-48MP), when you disable mixed mode, you must
also disable the special ieee-clause-82 port mode on the removed switch if you want to reconfigure
it as a standalone switch or use it in any other type of mixed Virtual Chassis or non-mixed Virtual
Chassis. Otherwise, the VCPs on the switch will not connect with other Virtual Chassis members
or those ports will not operate properly as network ports.
In this case, to disable mixed mode and the port mode on the switch:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed ieee-clause-82 disable
See Understanding EX4300 Multigigabit and Other EX4300 Model Switches in a Mixed EX4300 Virtual
Chassis for more information about this special port mode on EX4300 switches.
b. Delete the VCP settings for any ports that were used as VCPs:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot pic-slot port port-number
c. Reboot the standalone switch for settings such as mode changes to take effect.

Remove, Repair, and Reinstall the Same Switch

If you need to repair a member switch, you can remove it from the Virtual Chassis configuration without
disrupting network service for the other member switches. The primary stores the configuration for the
member ID so that it can be reapplied when the member switch (with the same base MAC address) is
reconnected.
To remove, repair, and reinstall the member switch:
1. Power off and disconnect the member switch to be repaired.
