Adding an EX4500 Switch to a Preprovisioned EX4200 Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure)

1. Power on the EX4500 switch with the installed Virtual Chassis module.
2. Verify the PIC mode setting:
   user@switch> show chassis pic-mode
3. If the PIC mode was not set to Virtual Chassis mode, set the PIC mode to Virtual Chassis mode:
   user@switch> request chassis pic-mode virtual-chassis

   Note: This step is only required if you are using the dedicated VCP on the Virtual Chassis module to connect the Virtual Chassis.

4. Set the Virtual Chassis mode to mixed:
   user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed
5. Reboot the EX4500 switch.
   user@switch> request system reboot
6. Log in to the EX4200 Virtual Chassis.
7. Set the Virtual Chassis mode to mixed for all member switches:
   user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed all-members
8. Reboot the Virtual Chassis.
   user@switch> request system reboot all-members
9. Log in to the EX4200 Virtual Chassis after the reboot is complete.
10. On the master switch, add the EX4500 switch to the preprovisioned configuration:
    [edit virtual-chassis]
user@switch# set member member-id serial-number serial-number role role

11. If you are using the EX4500 switch in the master role in place of an EX4200 switch, change the EX4200 switch in the routing-engine role to the line-card role:
    [edit virtual-chassis]
user@switch# replace member 0 serial-number serial-number role routing-engine with member 0 serial-number serial-number role line-card
user@switch# replace member 1 serial-number serial-number role routing-engine with member 1 serial-number serial-number role line-card
12. Commit the configuration:
    user@switch# commit synchronize
13. Interconnect the EX4500 switch with a switch already in the Virtual Chassis using the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). See Connecting a Virtual Chassis Cable to an EX4200 Switch and Connecting a Virtual Chassis Cable to an EX4500 Switch.

    You can also connect an EX4500 switch into the Virtual Chassis by configuring an uplink port as a VCP. See Setting an SFP+ Port as a Virtual Chassis Port on an EX4500 Switch (CLI Procedure).
