Switching

Current configuration:

QFX5100s spines running mixed mode VCF with EX 4300s.

I have tried disabling certain functions on the EX 4300 lcd panels without any success. I have tried the command  "set chassis lcd fpc # maintenance-menu disable", but the QFXs just ignore it as it is not supported.

Does anyone know if it's possible to dissable the LCD maintenance features on the EX4300s while in VCF mixed mode with a QFX 5100?

As you noticed, this is not supported. The commands are even hidden:

If this worked for you please flag my post as an "Accepted Solution" so others can benefit. A kudo would be cool if you think I earned it.

This is because QFX5100 does not have an LCD Maintenance Menu.  Can not support what it does not have, especially when Master RE.

I was afraid of that. Thank you for looking into it. I hope they implement this in a future release.
