Pic Mode: IntraconnectMeaning
The output shows that the PIC mode is currently set to Intraconnect. The Intraconnect mode sets the EX4500 as a standalone switch.
You must set the PIC mode to virtual-chassis if you want to connect the switch into a Virtual Chassis using the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on the Virtual Chassis module. The default PIC mode setting is virtual chassis.
