Step-by-Step
Procedure
To create a preprovisioned configuration for the Virtual Chassis:
1.
Specify the preprovisioned configuration mode:
[edit virtual-chassis]
user@SWA–0#
set preprovisioned
2.
Specify all the members that will be included in the Virtual Chassis configuration,
listing each switch's serial number with the desired member ID and the desired role:
[edit virtual-chassis]
user@SWA–0#
set member 0 serial-number abc123 role routing-engine
user@SWA–0#
set member 1 serial-number def456 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 2 serial-number ghi789 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 3 serial-number jkl012 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 4 serial-number mno345 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 5 serial-number pqr678 role routing-engine
user@SWA–0#
set member 6 serial-number stu901 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 7 serial-number vwx234 role linecard
user@SWA-0#
set member 8 serial-number yza567 role linecard
user@SWA–0#
set member 9 serial-number bcd890 role linecard
3.
Power on the member switches in wiring closet A.
4.
Prepare the members in wiring closet A for interconnecting with the member
switches in wiring closet B by setting uplink VCPs for member 0 and member 2:
user@SWA-0>
request virtual-chassis vc-port
set pic-slot 1 port 0
user@SWA-2>
request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0 member 2
NOTE:
•
For redundancy, this example sets an uplink VCP in both SWA-0 and
SWA-2.
•
This example omits the specification of the member 0 in setting the
uplink for SWA-0. The command applies by default to the switch
where it is executed.
5.
Power on SWA-5 and connect to it. This switch comes up as member ID
0
and
functions as master of itself. Although SWA-5 is listed in the preprovisioned
configuration file, it is not a present member of the Virtual Chassis configuration
that has been powered on thus far. In order for the master to detect SWA-5 as a
connected member, you must first set an uplink VCP on SWA-5 and interconnect
that VCP with the uplink VCP of SWA-0.
6.
Set the first uplink of SWA-5 to function as a VCP. Because SWA-5 has been
powered on as a separate switch and is still operating independently at this point,
its member ID is
0
.
user@SWA-5>
request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0
