interconnect the new member switch with the existing Virtual Chassis configuration,the master will overwrite and disable any specified parameters that conflict with theVirtual Chassis parameters or assigned member configuration.)3. Use the CLI or the J-Web interface to set the uplink module ports as VCPs.NOTE: If you are using a nonprovisioned configuration, you might configurethe new member switch with a mastership priority value that is less thanthat of the existing member switches. Doing so ensures that the newmember switch will function in a linecard role when it is included withinthe Virtual Chassis configuration.4. Power off the new switch.5. Interconnect the new member switch to at least one member of the existing VirtualChassis configuration using the uplink module ports on each of the switches that havebeen configured as VCPs.6. Power on the new member switch.7. Confirm that the new member switch is now included within the Virtual Chassisconfiguration by checking the front-panel display for the member ID. It should displaya member ID that is higher than 0 (1 through 9), because there is already at least onemember of the Virtual Chassis configuration.NOTE: If you are using a preprovisioned configuration, the member ID isautomatically assigned to the member's serial number in the configurationfile.Adding a New Switch to an Existing Preprovisioned Virtual Chassis Configuration UsingAutoprovisioningFollow these instructions to add a J-EX4200 switch to a J-EX4200 Virtual Chassis.Before you begin, be sure you have:• Installed the uplink modules needed for the Virtual Chassis configuration.• Mounted the new switch in a rack.• Ensured that the preprovisioned Virtual Chassis configuration has an active master.For information about configuring a Virtual Chassis with a preprovisioned configurationfile, see the Dell PowerConnect J-Series Ethernet Switch Complete Software Guide forJunos OS at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals.• On the master, configured the Link Level Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on the uplinkmodule ports that will be used as VCPs. LLDP is configured by default but might havebeen disabled. To configure LLDP, see see the Dell PowerConnect J-Series EthernetSwitch Complete Software Guide for Junos OS at http://www.support.dell.com/manuals.82Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4200 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide
