    request chassis device-mode

    Syntax

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

    Release Information

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

    interconnect-device option introduced in Junos OS Release 13.1 for the QFX Series.

    Description

    Select the operating mode for the device, which acts either as a device within a QFabric system or as a standalone switch.

    Note:

    • 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 to a different device mode, we recommend that you back up your device configuration to an external location before issuing the request chassis device-mode command.

    Options

    interconnect-device
    		—

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

    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 starts in Node device or Interconnect device mode, you must reboot the device to return to standalone mode. Standalone mode is the factory default setting.
