    request chassis device-mode

    Syntax

    request chassis device-mode (node-device | standalone)

    Release Information

    Command introduced in Junos OS Release 11.2 for the QFX Series.

    Description

    Select the operating mode for the device. For example, a QFX3500 or QFX3600 device can operate either as a single switch in standalone mode or as a QFabric system Node device in node-device mode.

    • Issue the request chassis device-mode command only when your management station is connected directly to the device over a console port connection.
    • Changing the device mode erases all configuration data on the device. When you convert a device from standalone to Node device mode, we recommend that you back up your device configuration to an external location before issuing the request chassis device-mode command.

    Options

    node-device
    		—

    Set the device to operate as a Node device within a QFabric system. To complete the Node device mode conversion process, you must connect the device to the QFabric system management control plane and reboot the device.

    standalone
    		—

    Set the device to operate as a standalone switch. If the device is in Node device mode, you must reboot the device to return to standalone mode. Standalone mode is the factory default setting.

    Required Privilege Level
