OS for EX Series Ethernet Switches, Release 10.4
NOTE: We recommend that you set two uplink VCPs within each wiring closet
for redundancy.

Setting an Uplink VCP on a Standalone EX4200 Switch on page 996
2.
Set an uplink port of an EX4200 Virtual Chassis member as a VCP by executing the
operational command

request virtual-chassis vc-port

NOTE: If you use the SFP+ uplink module, you must configure all member
switches to support either 1-gigabit SFP transceivers or 10-gigabit SFP+
transceivers. See "Setting the Mode on an SFP+ Uplink Module (CLI
Procedure)" on page 1343.
To set the uplink ports for the local member EX4200 switch (for example, member 0)
and for a different member EX4200 switch (for example, member 1) to function as VCPs:
Set one uplink port of member 0 as a VCP interface. You do not need to specify the
1.
member member-id option, because the command applies by default on the member
where it is executed.
user@SWA-0> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0
Set one uplink port of member 1 as a VCP interface.
2.
user@SWA-0>request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0 member 1
This example includes the member member-id option, because it is executed on a different
member switch than the local member switch.
To set an uplink VCP on a standalone switch, first power on the switch. You must set an
uplink port on the standalone switch as a VCP prior to physically interconnecting the
switch with the existing Virtual Chassis configuration. Otherwise, the master cannot
detect that the switch is a member of the Virtual Chassis configuration.
To set one uplink VCP on the potential member (SWA-2), which is currently operating
as a standalone EX4200 switch:
Power on the standalone switch.
1.
Set one uplink port as a VCP interface. You do not need to specify the
2.
option, because the command applies by default on the member where
member-id
it is executed.
user@SWA-2> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0
