    show virtual-chassis vc-port

    Syntax

    show virtual-chassis vc-port<all-members><local><member member-id>

    Release Information

    Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

    Description

    Display the status of the Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs), including both the dedicated VCPs and the uplink ports configured as VCPs.

    Options

    none

    Display the operational status of all VCPs of the member switch where the command is issued.

    all-members

    (Optional) Display the operational status of all VCPs on all members of the Virtual Chassis configuration.

    local

    (Optional) Display the operational status of the switch or external Routing Engine on which this command is entered.

    member member-id

    (Optional) Display the operational status of all VCPs for the specified member of the Virtual Chassis configuration.

    Table 1: show virtual-chassis vc-port Output Fields

    Field Name

    Field Description

    fpcnumber

    The FPC number is the same as the member ID.

    Interface or PIC/Port

    VCP name.

    • The dedicated VCPs in an EX4200,EX4500, or EX4550 Virtual Chassis are vcp-0 and vcp-1.
    • The uplink module ports set as VCPs in an EX2200 Virtual Chassis or in an EX3300 or EX4200 Virtual Chassis are named 1/0 and 1/1, representing the PIC number and the port number.
    • The native VCP (port 0) on an XRE200 External Routing Engine in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis is named vcp-0.
    • The VCPs on each Virtual Chassis Control Interface (VCCI) module in an XRE200 External Routing Engine are named using the vcp-slot-number/port-number convention; for instance, vcp-1/0.
    • The VCPs on EX8200 member switches are named using the vcp-slot-number/pic-number/interface-number convention; for instance, vcp-3/0/2.

    Type

    Type of VCP:

    • Dedicated—The rear panel VCP on an EX4200, EX4500. or EX4550 switch. or any VCP link connected to an XRE200 External Routing Engine in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis.
    • Configured—Optical port configured as a VCP..
    • Auto-Configured—Optical port autoconfigured as a VCP.

    See Setting an Uplink Port on an EX2200, EX3300, or EX4200 Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port (CLI Procedure) or Setting a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port as a Virtual Chassis Port in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure) for information about configuring VCPs.

    Trunk ID

    A positive-number ID assigned to a link aggregation group (LAG) formed by the Virtual Chassis. The trunk ID value is –1 if no trunk is formed. A LAG between uplink VCPs requires that the link speed be the same on connected interfaces and that at least two VCPs on one member be connected to at least two VCPs on the other member in an EX4200 or EX4500 Virtual Chassis.

    Dedicated VCP LAGs are assigned trunk IDs 1 and 2. Trunk IDs for LAGs formed with uplink VCPs therefore have values of 3 or greater.

    The trunk ID value changes if the link-adjacency state between LAG members changes; trunk membership is then allocated or deallocated.

    Status

    Interface status:

    • absent—Interface is not a VCP link.
    • down—VCP link is down.
    • up—VCP link is up.

    Speed (mbps)

    Speed of the interface in megabits per second.

    Neighbor ID/Interface

    The Virtual Chassis member ID and interface of a VCP on a member that is connected to the interface or PIC/Port field in the same row as this interface.
