For models (e.g. EX3400 and up) having dedicated VC ports, it is easier to form a VC by just connecting cables with the dedicated VC ports. Cloud will detect the new VC and update the inventory.
In case that the user would like to choose the dedicated switch as a VC master. Or for EX2300-C-12P and EX2300-C-12T which doesn’t have dedicated VC ports, below are procedures to automate the VC creation:
- Power on the switch that is choosen as the VC master first. And the powering on the other member switches.
- Claim or adopt all these switches under the same organization’s Inventory
- Assign these switches into the same Site
- Invoke vc command on the switch choosen to be the VC master. For EX2300-C-12P, VC ports will be created automatically.
- Connect the cables to the VC ports for these switches
- Wait for the VC to be formed. The Org’s inventory will be updated for the new VC.
