Release Information

Description

Enable or disable an uplink port (on an SFP, SFP+, or XFP uplink interface) or an SFP network port as a Virtual Chassis port (VCP).

If you omit member member-id, this command defaults to enabling or disabling the uplink VCP or SFP network port configured as a VCP on the switch where the command is issued.

You might experience a temporary traffic disruption immediately after creating or deleting a user-configured VCP in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis.
