request virtual-chassis member-id set

Syntax

Syntax (MX960, MX2010, and MX2020 Routers)

Description

Assign (set) a member ID and, optionally, a slot count to a router or switch that you want to add as a member of a Virtual Chassis configuration.

Note:

Issuing the request virtual-chassis member-id set command causes the device to reboot, and requires you to confirm that you want to proceed with this operation. If you do not confirm the operation, the software cancels the command. After the reboot all MPCs remain powered off until the Virtual Chassis port connection is configured.

Options

member member-id

Assign the numeric value that identifies a member router or switch in a Virtual Chassis configuration. When you assign a member ID to a router or switch, assign the same member ID defined for this device in the preprovisioned configuration. Replace member-id with the value 0 or 1.

- MX960 router: 12 or 20
