    Verifying the Setting for the PIC Mode on an EX4500 Switch in a Virtual Chassis

    Purpose

    Verify the PIC mode setting for an EX4500 or EX4550 switch in a Virtual Chassis.

    Action

    To verify the current PIC mode setting:

    user@switch> show chassis pic-mode
    fpc0:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Pic Mode: Intraconnect

    Meaning

    The output shows that the PIC mode is currently set to Intraconnect. The Intraconnect mode sets the EX4500 as a standalone switch.

    You must set the PIC mode to virtual-chassis if you want to connect the switch into a Virtual Chassis using the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on the Virtual Chassis module. The default PIC mode setting is virtual chassis.
