Dell PowerConnect J-Series Ethernet Switch Complete Software Guide for Junos OS Example: Configuring a Virtual Chassis Using a Preprovisioned Configuration File You can deterministically control both the role and the member ID assigned to each member switch in a Virtual Chassis configuration by creating a preprovisioned configuration file. A preprovisioned configuration file links the serial number of each J-EX4200 switch in the configuration to a specified member ID and role. The serial number must be specified in the configuration file for the member to be recognized as part of the Virtual Chassis configuration. You must select two members that you want to make eligible for election as master of the Virtual Chassis configuration. When you list these two members in the preprovisioned configuration file, you designate both members as routing-engine. One will function as the master of the Virtual Chassis configuration and the other will function as the backup. You designate additional members, which are not eligible for election as master, has having the linecard role in the preprovisioned configuration file. NOTE: When you use a preprovisioned configuration, you cannot modify the mastership priority or member ID of member switches through the user interfaces. Requirements NOTE: After you have created a preprovisioned Virtual Chassis configuration, you can use the autoprovisioning feature to add member switches to that configuration. See "Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Configuration (CLI Procedure)" on page 786. This example describes how to configure a Virtual Chassis across multiple wiring closets using a preprovisioned configuration file: • Requirements on page 752 • Overview and Topology on page 753 • Configuration on page 757 • Verification on page 760 • Troubleshooting on page 763 This example uses the following hardware and software components: • Five J-EX4200-48T switches • Five J-EX4200-24T switches • Four uplink modules 752
