I want it in standalone mode. I configured the whole switch, went to deploy it, but maybe it saw other vchassis units on the network? I don't know, but it somehow switched into linecard:0 mode and won't let me login locally, even though there is no master elsewhere. I disconnected it from the network, but it still thinks there's a master somewhere. I booted into recovery mode and tried to run:
I can't get to a non-recovery mode to set it back to standalone it seems. Should I reboot into single mode and not do Recovery and see if I can change it that way?

This issue is you device is in linecard mode so will not take you config until this is the master
Can you confirm this is a virtual chassis or a standalone device and not in production yet
has the device been taken or being repurposed in some way ?
you might find these commands useful
# operational Show virtual chassisrequest session member 1 #Login to a specific stack Member request system halt member # To stop a chassis memberrequest chassis routing-engine master switch # Commands to switch mastershiprequest virtual-chassis reactivate#configset virtual-chassis no-split-detection
if this is a virtual chassis you will need to configure a VME port
Set interfaces vme unit 0 family inet address 192.168.3.24/24
for what is worth I never liked the fact that on junipers you cannot configure a individual mgmt IP on each VC member, this would be very useful when troubleshooting.
Its hard to say without knowing your set up but if a virtual chassis member finds itself alone, it will not become active, this is to prevent dual mastership issues in network, I suspect that is your issue. The no split detection should resolve this. then activate.
if you get 3 or more members in a VC your should delete this no split detection command.

I went to login via console to check, and now there's no local login password prompt, the switch somehow reverted to looking for a master, don't know why. I rebooted into recovery mode and tried to set
request chassis pic-mode intraconnectrequest system reboot
per https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/virtual-chassis-ex-4200-4500/topics/task/ex4500-standalone-reset-cli.html and also set
set system hostname someswitchset system root-authentication plain-text-password
Then I tried to set member role as primary routing engine per https://supportportal.juniper.net/s/article/EX-Converting-a-Virtual-Chassis-Member-Role-to-Primary-Routing-Engine-Role-When-Using-Non-Provisioned-Configuration?language=en_US
but nothing showed up in
show virtual chassis
so it seems I'm somehow stuck in a loop.
Would using the front panel to invoke the ezsetup override this and at least get me back to a local login?
I'm also getting an error on commit of:
error: rename failed for /var/etc/pam.confcommit complete{linecard:0}
but show config | display set shows the commit completed.

Can you ping 192.168.3.1 from the switch ( or at least have a arp entry on the switch )
also you will need to set
set system services ssh
Is this a standalone box or a virtual chassis.

I have tried to set up the management interface to be able to manage it via ssh (and eventually query interfaces via snmp), so far I have:
set interfaces me0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.3.24/24set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.3.1
I can't ping the interface, what else do I need to do?
