Figure 18: Default Configuration of Multimember Virtual Chassis in a Single
Wiring Closet
Configure a multimember Virtual Chassis access switch in a single wiring closet using
the factory defaults:
By default, after you interconnect the switches with the dedicated VCPs and power on
the switches, the VCPs are operational. The mastership priorities and member IDs are
assigned by the software. To determine which switch has been selected as the master,
check the LCD on the front panel. It should be the first switch that you power on. The
backup should be the second switch that you power on. The other switches are all
linecards. Wait at least one minute after powering on the master, before continuing to
power on the other switches.
To configure a multimember Virtual Chassis with default role assignments:
Make sure the dedicated VCPs on the rear panel are properly cabled. See Virtual
