The native VCP on the XRE200 External Routing Engine—the port located next to the
management ( ) port labeled
MGMT
An XRE200 External Routing Engine forms a VCP when it connects to the management
( MGMT ) port on the Routing Engine (RE) module or the Switch Fabric and Routing Engine
(SRE) module in an EX8200 switch.
The naming for the management port on the EX8200 switch when used as a VCP follows
this format:
vcp-pic/slot
where:
pic is the PIC number, which is always 0 for an EX8200 switch.
slot is the number of the slot containing the RE module or the SRE module.
An EX8200 switch VCP name is always
The names for the Gigabit Ethernet ports configured as VCP links on the EX8200 member
switches follow this format:
vcp-fpc/pic/port
where:
fpc is the slot number of the line card that contains the physical interface.
pic is the PIC number, which is always 0 for an EX8200 switch.
port is the network port number.
vcp-fpc/pic/port names apply to the device that the switch is connected to, not to the
switch itself. Therefore, a VCP link is named according to the connected interface. For
instance, if an external Routing Engine connects to interface
that VCP link is detected as
