Table 1: show virtual-chassis mode Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Mixed Mode

Specifies the mixed mode status of the member switch. Mixed mode is either Enabled or Disabled.

Current mode

Shows the current mixed and fabric mode settings running on the member device or devices.

(EX4400 switches only) Shows whether the switch has network port mode enabled to use the default Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) as network ports instead of as VCPs.

A device reboot is required to change the device mode. The Current mode and Future mode after reboot are different when the mode has been changed but the device has not been rebooted.

Outputs include:

  • Fabric with mixed devices—Fabric mode and mixed mode are enabled.

  • Fabric with similar devices—Fabric mode is enabled and mixed mode is disabled.

  • Virtual Chassis with mixed devices—Fabric mode is disabled and mixed mode is enabled.

  • Virtual Chassis with similar devices—Fabric mode is disabled and mixed mode is disabled.

  • (EX4400 switches only) network-port mode—Network port mode is enabled, which means the default VCPs on the switch function as network ports rather than as VCPs.

Future mode after reboot

Shows the mixed and fabric mode settings that you have requested to be enabled on the member device or devices the next time the device is rebooted.

A device reboot is required to change the fabric or mixed mode. The Current mode and Future mode after reboot are different only when the mode has been changed but the device has not been rebooted.

Outputs include:

  • Fabric with mixed devices—Fabric mode and mixed mode are enabled.

  • Fabric with similar devices—Fabric mode is enabled and mixed mode is disabled.

  • Virtual Chassis with mixed devices—Fabric mode is disabled and mixed mode is enabled.

  • Virtual Chassis with similar devices—Fabric mode is disabled and mixed mode is disabled.

  • (EX4400 switches only) network-port mode—Network port mode is enabled so the default VCPs on the switch will function as network ports rather than as VCPs.
