Setting a Port on an EX2200 Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port (CLI Procedure)
You configure an EX2200 Virtual Chassis by configuring interfaces connecting EX2200 switches into Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). Optical interfaces on EX2200 and EX2200-C switches can be configured into VCPs. All RJ-45 interfaces, including built-in network ports with 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet connectors and 1000BASE-T RJ-45 transceivers, on EX2200 and EX2200-C switches can also be configured into VCPs.
To set a port on an EX2200 or EX2200-C switch as a VCP:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot pic-slot-number port port-numberwhere pic-slot-number is the PIC slot number. The PIC slot number is 0 when you are configuring a built-in port as a VCP and 1 when you are configuring an uplink port as a VCP.
For instance, if you wanted to set built-in port 20 as a VCP:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot
0 port 20If you wanted to set uplink port 2 as a VCP:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot
1 port 2You can configure an interface of a different member switch as a VCP when both switches are part of the same operational Virtual Chassis. You can perform this task by entering the same command with the member option:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot pic-slot-number port port-number member member-idFor instance, if you wanted to set built-in port 20 on member switch 3 as a VCP:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot
0 port 20 member 3 | Note: The VCPs automatically bundle into a Link Aggregation Group when two or more interfaces are configured into VCPs between the same two member switches. See Understanding EX Series Virtual Chassis Port Link Aggregation. |
