  • 1.  Switches managed by Mist

    I am running a POC to decide if moving from Cisco to Juniper is right for the business.  

    As of right now I am seeing a difference in the configuration on the switches from what is set up in Mist.  
    "Configuration is Managed by Mist" is enabled
    I was unable to setup the VC and so Support assisted with pre-provisioned VC.

    I see "error commit-confirm: [edit virtual-chassis] member 0: Can't have mastership priority configuration with preprovisioned set" under Switch Insights, but I am told by Support this is normal due to pre-provisioned VC config

    I removed the virtual chassis configuration and then one config change push worked, but the same error above has re-appeared

    Local config is attached, minus hidden details for security.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Hi Graham,
    In the virtual chassis config commands is a priority specified? for example:
    [edit virtual-chassis]
user@switch# set member 0 mastership-priority 255
​


    the configs don't show the virtual chassis config being used (I just noticed my Mist VC is doing this too) so can you also provide the output of "show virtual-chassis"?

    My VC in Mist doesn't give the error you're seeing so trying to see if it's a hidden config issue or not :)

    I *think* it is hidden config since I don't see anything on the switch:

    root@Sw-trial-1> show virtual-chassis

    Virtual Chassis ID: 0378.8760.af14
    Virtual Chassis Mode: Enabled
    Mstr Mixed Route Neighbor List
    Member ID Status Serial No Model prio Role Mode Mode ID Interface
    0 (FPC 0) Prsnt JY*********** ex2300-24p 128 Master* N VC 1 vcp-255/1/0
    1 (FPC 1) Prsnt JY*********** ex2300-24p 128 Backup N VC 0 vcp-255/1/0

    Member ID for next new member: 2 (FPC 2)

    {master:0}[edit virtual-chassis]
    root@Sw-trial-1# show

    {master:0}[edit virtual-chassis]

    This also leads me to believe that their is no mastership nor priority that could be conflicting in the local config.

    I was told that if I plan to take advantage of the Mist AI management, I should avoid managing the switches locally.

    For those that may be interested, since I am testing these devices to make a refresh decision, I ended up doing a reset to factory.

    I worked with support to remove the VC config files because they remained after the reset and was still causing issues.

    Remove VC config:
    configure
    delete virtual-chassis
    commit and-quit

    Delete VC files
    start shell user root
    cd /config/vchassis
    rm vc*
    ps -auwx | grep vccp
    Kill "vccp process id"
    exit
