I found out HGoE mode was introduced in 24.2. I was confused because an older version showed the option, but it didn't work, and the current recommended version did not have the option at all (Junos 23.4R2-Sx). After updating to 24.2R2-S3 I was able to set the mode.

I have an EX4100 VC which I have converted to HGoE mode because I would like to use some of the 10/25G ports as trunks and others as VCPs, however when I try to disable a VCP using "request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 3 member 1" I get the error, "error: Please use request virtual-chassis mode network-port/disable command to interchange port mode".
I don't know if HGoE mode is set properly: "show virtual-chassis mode" shows the current mode is different from future mode even after I reboot the VC:
Current mode : Virtual Chassis with similar devices
Future mode after reboot : Virtual chassis with hgoe mode devices
I am on Junos 23.2R2-S4.5
*edit
After checking the latest recommended version, I upgraded to Junos 23.4R2.13. Now HGoE mode is missing and is not an option under request virtual-chassis mode. If I try to enable it anyway it tells me the command is not valid on EX4100.
