  • 1.  set virtual-chassis command is not working for me on EX4200

    Posted 04-03-2018 12:32

    Hi,

     

    I'm following this doc (https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/virtual-chassis-ex4200-cli.html#jd0e48) for configuring an EX4200 Virtual Chassis.

     

    But in the step 8:

    After typing "set member 0 serial-number abc123 role routing-engine" command, I am getting this error:

    set: Variable name must begin with a letter.

     

    If I type this "set virtual-chassis member 0 serial-number abc123 role routing-engine"  command, I am getting an error as well:

    set: Syntax Error.

     

    Any ideas why the "set" command is working working for me?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    Please make sure you are in [edit virtual-chassis] hierarchy

    abc123  is serial  number of switch, Regarding the serial number of switch, please get it from show virtual-chassis status.

    did you specify "preprovisioned"

    Specify the preprovisioned configuration mode:

    [edit virtual-chassis]
    user@SWA–0# set preprovisioned

    Yes. I did. See below the commands I tried.

     

    root@:RE:0% set preprovisioned

    root@:RE:0% set virtual-chassis member 1 serial-number BM0211335826 role line-card

    set: Syntax Error.

    root@:RE:0% set member 1 serial-number BM0211335826 role line-card

    set: Variable name must begin with a letter.

    you are logged in as root. You need to start the Junos cli via the 'cli' command and then enter the set commands in configuration mode.

    this mode is accessed by entering the 'configure' command, then the needed set commands and 'commit' to activate the changes.

     

    I will recommend you to read up on some of the Junos basics. That can be accomplished via for example the Day one book 'exploring the junos cli, second edition': https://www.juniper.net/uk/en/training/jnbooks/day-one/fundamentals-series/cli/
