Configuration
Configure a Virtual Chassis with a default master and backup in a single wiring closet:
Step-by-Step
Procedure
To configure a Virtual Chassis with master and backup:
1.
Make sure the VCPs on the rear panel of the member switches are properly cabled.
See Virtual Chassis Cabling Configuration Examples for EX4200 Switches.
2.
Power on SWA-0 (the member switch that you want to function as the master).
3.
Check the front-panel LCD to confirm that the switch has powered on correctly.
4.
Run the EZ Setup program on SWA-0, specifying the identification parameters. See
“Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)” on page 187 or
“Connecting and Configuring an EX Series Switch (J-Web Procedure)” on page 189
for details.
5.
Configure SWA-0 with the virtual management Ethernet (VME) interface for
out-of-band management of the Virtual Chassis configuration, if desired.
