Adding a new member to a Juniper stack.
- Upgrade/Downgrade the Junos SW Version to match the stack you’re adding to.
- Obtain the Serial Number of the new chassis being installed.
- CLI: show chassis hardware
- Mount the new chassis to the rack and power it up.
- DO NOT connect VC Cables yet.
- Login to the stack that is in production and set the new chassis’ Serial Number to its corresponding Member # and as a “line-card”. (Example: if this is for a current stack of 3, then the new member will become Member 3)
- [edit virtual-chassis] # set member x serial-number abc123 role line-card
- Connect new chassis to the stack via VC cables in back.
- Verify that the new chassis is present and that it indicates that it’s a “line-card” LC using CLI “ show virtual chassis”.
