In most cases, you delete the member ID from a member
router or switch as part of the procedure for deleting a Virtual Chassis
configuration. When you delete the member ID by using the request
virtual-chassis member-id delete command, the router or switch
reboots and the software disables Virtual Chassis mode on that device.
After the reboot, the router or switch is no longer part of the Virtual
Chassis and functions as an independent device.
Note: If you issue the request virtual-chassis member-id
delete command without first installing an MX Virtual Chassis
Redundancy Feature Pack license on both member routers, the software
displays a warning message that you are operating without a valid
Virtual Chassis software license.
A software license is not needed to create an EX9200 Virtual
Chassis.
To delete the Virtual Chassis member IDs from both member
routers or switches and disable Virtual Chassis mode:
- In the console window on the router or switch configured
as member 0, delete member ID 0.
{master:member0-re0}
user@host1> request virtual-chassis member-id delete
This command will disable virtual-chassis mode and reboot the system.
Continue? [yes,no] (no) yes
Updating VC configuration and rebooting system, please wait...
{master:member0-re0}
user@host1>
*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@host1 ***
System going down IMMEDIATELY
- In the console window on the router or switch configured
as member 1, delete member ID 1.
{master:member1-re0}
user@host2> request virtual-chassis member-id delete
This command will disable virtual-chassis mode and reboot the system.
Continue? [yes,no] (no) yes
Updating VC configuration and rebooting system, please wait...
{master:member1-re0}
user@host2>
*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@host2 ***
System going down IMMEDIATELY
- (Optional) Confirm that Virtual Chassis mode has been
disabled on both member routers or switches.
For example:
user@host1> show virtual-chassis status
error: the virtual-chassis-control subsystem is not running
