Resetting the EX4500 Switch to Run as a Standalone Switch (CLI Procedure)
If you want to use an EX4500 switch as a standalone switch,
we recommend that you set the PIC mode as intraconnect
.
The PIC mode setting determines whether the module that is plugged
into the EX4500 switch operates as an intraconnect module or a Virtual
Chassis module.
Operating an EX4500 switch without the intraconnect module or the Virtual Chassis module is not supported.
If you use the EX4500 switch as a standalone switch without
changing the PIC mode setting to intraconnect
, you will
not be able to achieve 960 Gbps data rate throughput. Some of the
bandwidth is reserved for the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs).
The PIC mode is set to virtual-chassis
in the factory
default configuration. You cannot change the PIC mode setting in the
factory default configuration; you must commit some other configuration
change and then change the PIC mode setting.
To reset the PIC mode so that you can use the switch as a standalone switch:
