Part 7: Create a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis with Two J-EX4500
Switches
1. Verify that both J-EX4500 switches are running the same version of the Junos
operating system (Junos OS).
2. With a Virtual Chassis cable and cable connector retainer, interconnect the J-EX4500
switches using a dedicated Virtual Chassis port (VCP) on the back of each switch.
3. Write down the serial numbers of the switches to be connected in the Virtual Chassis,
and select a master switch to power on and configure first.
4. On the master switch only, connect power and perform initial configuration. See
Part 6 on page 3.
5. (Optional) On the master switch, enter configuration mode, and configure the virtual
management Ethernet (VME) interface for out-of-band management of the Virtual
Chassis:
user@switch> configure
user@switch# set interfaces vme unit 0 family inet address
ip-address
6. On the master switch, specify the preprovisioned configuration mode, assign both
switches the routing-engine role, and commit the configuration:
user@switch# edit virtual-chassis
user@switch# set preprovisioned
user@switch# set member 0 serial-number serial-number role
routing-engine
user@switch# set member 1 serial-number serial-number role
routing-engine
user@switch# commit
7. Power on the other J-EX4500 switch—no initial configuration is necessary—and
verify that the LED on each power supply glows steadily green for normal operation.
8. On the master switch, verify that the green MST (master) LED to the right of the LCD
panel is on steadily.

9. On both switches in the Virtual Chassis, verify that the green ST (status) and VC
MODE LEDs on the Virtual Chassis module are on steadily
Part 8. Create a Mixed J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis
CAUTION: Do not physically connect multiple switches in a Virtual Chassis
before reading these instructions.
Your switch can be part of a Virtual Chassis configuration of as many as eight J-EX4200
switches and one other J-EX4500 switch. A J-EX4500 switch must be the master.
These instructions show you how to configure two J-EX4500 switches and two J-EX4200
switches—none are current Virtual Chassis members—in a preprovisioned configuration.
We highly recommend preprovisioning for a mixed Virtual Chassis.
1. Ensure that both J-EX4200 switches for the mixed Virtual Chassis are initially
configured. See the Dell PowerConnect J-EX4200 switch documentation at
http://www.support.dell.com/manuals
2. Verify that the J-EX4200 switches and J-EX4500 switches to be connected in the
mixed Virtual Chassis are all running the same version of Junos OS.
3. Write down the serial numbers of the switches to be connected in the Virtual Chassis,
and select a J-EX4500 switch as the master switch.
4. Power on the J-EX4500 master switch first, and then power on the other J-EX4500
member switch. For a switch not previously configured, see Part 6 on page 3.
5. Set both J-EX4500 switches to mixed Virtual Chassis mode, and reboot each switch:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed
user@switch> request system reboot
6. Power on both J-EX4200 Virtual Chassis member switches.
7. Set both J-EX4200 switches to mixed Virtual Chassis mode, and reboot each switch:
user@switch> request virtual-chassis mode mixed
user@switch> request system reboot
8. (Optional) Log back in to the master switch, enter configuration mode, and configure
the virtual management Ethernet (VME) interface for out-of-band management of the
Virtual Chassis:
user@switch> configure
user@switch# set interfaces vme unit 0 family inet address
ip-address
