Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Configuration (CLI Procedure)

You can add one or more EX4200 switches to an existing Virtual Chassis configuration.
Up to ten EX4200 switches can be included within a Virtual Chassis configuration.
You can add the new switches to either type—nonprovisioned or preprovisioned—of
Virtual Chassis configuration. See Configuring a Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure) for
descriptions of these types.

To add a switch to an existing Virtual Chassis configuration, use the procedure that
matches what you need to accomplish:

Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Configuration Within the
Same Wiring Closet on page 105

Adding a New Switch from a Different Wiring Closet to an Existing Virtual Chassis
Configuration on page 106

Adding a New Switch to an Existing Preprovisioned Virtual Chassis Configuration
Using Autoprovisioning on page 108

Adding a New Switch to an Existing Virtual Chassis Configuration Within the Same Wiring
Closet

Before you begin, be sure you have:

Mounted the new switch in a rack.

Confirmed that the new switch is powered off.

If you are expanding a preprovisioned configuration, made a note of the serial
number (on the back of the switch). You will need to edit the Virtual Chassis
configuration to include the serial number of the new member switch.

If you are expanding a preprovisioned configuration, edited the existing Virtual
Chassis configuration to include the serial number of the new member switch.
