Hi,
Even I am having the same error. I have a virtual chassis configured in my QFX3500. I did a zeroize but still when I login using a console port it tries to login to the master..login to master fails and it then logs in on its local cli. I want to operate this router as a standalone. I am not even able to access it using ssh (I think the VC configuration is interfering in the ssh process) Can you please tell me what you did to operate it as a standalone switch?
