In an EX8200 Virtual Chassis, you can connect the member switches together to provide
additional paths for Virtual Chassis Control Protocol (VCCP) traffic to monitor and
maintain the Virtual Chassis. The link connecting the member switches has to be a
10-GigabitEthernet port configured as a Virtual Chassis port (VCP).
All connections between EX8200 member switches and XRE200 External Routing
Engines are automatically configured as dedicated VCP links, so you do not need to
perform this procedure on those connections. See "Understanding Virtual Chassis Ports
in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis" on page 1079.
VCP links between EX8200 member switches automatically form a link aggregation
group (LAG). Up to 12 VCP links can be part of a LAG of VCP links between EX8200
member switches. No user configuration is required to create this LAG. See "Understanding
Virtual Chassis Port Link Aggregation in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis" on page 1080.
To configure a VCP link between two EX8200 switches:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set fpc-slot fpc-slot pic-slot pic-slot port
port-number member member-id
When you use this command to create the VCP link, a paired 10–GigabitEthernet interface
is also automatically configured as a VCP. For instance, when you enter
virtual-chassis vc-port set fpc-slot 5 pic-slot 0 port 0
a VCP, interface xe-5/0/1 is also configured as a VCP and automatically becomes part
of the LAG.
To unconfigure a VCP link between two EX8200 switches and make it a Gigabit Ethernet
network link:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete fpc-slot fpc-slot pic-slot pic-slot port
port-number member member-id
