Meaning

This output verifies that a Virtual Chassis composed of one EX8208 switch (member 0), one EX8216 switch (member 1), and master and backup XRE200 External Routing Engines (members 8 and 9) is operational by showing that all devices are in the Prsnt state. The display shows the VCP connections and confirms that each member has an active connection to all three other members.
