Monitoring the Virtual Chassis Status and Statistics on EX Series Virtual Chassis
Purpose
Use the monitoring functionality to view the following information about the switches and the ports for EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500, EX4550, and EX8200 switches that are members of a Virtual Chassis:
- Member details and how members are connected with each other
- Traffic statistics for Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) of the selected members
- Details of the VCP packet counters
Action
To view Virtual Chassis monitoring details in the J-Web interface for a Virtual Chassis, select Monitor > Virtual Chassis. For an EX8200 Virtual Chassis, select the Member and the Slot (FPC) if the interface you want to monitor is not listed under Ports in the top table on the page.
 | Note: Virtual Chassis monitoring is not supported in J-Web for all Virtual Chassis platforms. |
To view member details for all members in the CLI, enter the following command:
user@switch> show virtual-chassisTo view VCP traffic statistics for a specific member in the CLI, enter the following command:
user@switch> show virtual-chassis vc-port statistics
member member-idTo view the path a packet takes when going from a source interface to a destination interface in a Virtual Chassis configuration using the CLI, enter the following command:
user@switch> show virtual-chassis vc-pathMeaning
In the J-Web interface, the top half of the screen displays details of the Virtual Chassis configuration, such as:
- Member
- Role
- Interface
- Type
- Speed
- Neighboring Member ID
- Link Status
- Error count
Click the Stop button to stop fetching values from the switch, and click the Start button to start plotting data again from the point where it was stopped.
To view a graph of the statistics for the selected VCP of the member, click Show Graph.
