Hi!
I created virtual chassis between two 4500, using xe interfaces and it works
stack@kz-sw-aggrig-4500-1> show virtual-chassis status
Preprovisioned Virtual Chassis
Virtual Chassis ID: f8e1.7f2d.3203
Virtual Chassis Mode: Mixed
Mstr Mixed Neighbor List
Member ID Status Serial No Model prio Role Mode ID Interface

stack@kz-sw-aggrig-4500-1> show configuration virtual-chassis
preprovisioned;
no-split-detection;
member 0 {
role routing-engine;
serial-number XXX068;
}
member 1 {
role routing-engine;
serial-number XXX863;
}
fast-failover {
xe;
}
I interconnected these switches to different network devices and found out that if member 0 fails I lose connection to my virtual chassis and different network devices. If the member 1 fails - no problem.
Next step is checking interfaces:

I found that VC can see these interfaces!!!

xe-1/0/34 up up
xe-1/0/35 up down

But how can I configure it? How can I add these ports to configuration?
