Switching

OK, really frustrated here. Here's the situation:

EX-4200 in a virtual chassis I want to convert to stand alone. I have tried to load factory default through the LCD menu (worked for 3 other switches in same chassis) as well as with CLI commands. NOTHING WORKS. I've changed membership priority and rebooted trying to reassign as master. What am I not doing or doing wrong? I have discovered that cussing the box does not help as much as I thought it would.

Hi

what I tend to do is, navigate to the shell and then remove any vc.X files:

root@test:RE:0% cd /config
root@test:RE:0% ls vchassis/
vc.db           vc.param        vc.tlv.db       vc.tlv.db.0     vc.tlv.db.1
root@test:RE:0% rm vc*
rm: vchassis: is a directory
root@test:RE:0% rm vchassis/*

@thanjalot,

I removed the vchassis/* from the shell and it did get rid of the last member of the virtual chassis but it still indicates that virtual chassis is enabled.

The status that you show is correct. This is an EX4200 that is acting as a standalone unit. The fact that VC mode is enabled does not have any bearing on its ability to run stand alone. It is essentailly a virtual chassis of one. You are good to go.

It is a two step process to remove the VC. When you said you did CLI did you reset the box from the operational level or just remove the config itself?

I don't know what you mean by "reset the box from the operational level". I have attempted everything I could find online, including loading factory defaults, disabling vcp ports, renumbering members, etc. I finally got it to recognize the gig interfaces but it is still showing 1 of the other chassis when I perform a show virtual chassis I see below
