Description This command configures an IMM-only node in a virtual chassis (VC) configuration. This
command is performed on the active CPM node in the VC to which the IMM-only node
belongs.
An IMM-only node in a VC is identified by its slot-number and its MAC address. The slot
number assigned to the node can be an arbitrary number from 1 to 8. It is used in service
provisioning to identify ports on a VC member node, and on service objects on those ports.
The port on a VC member node is identified using the format slot-id/1/port-id. For example,
port 20 on the front panel of a VC member node in slot 4 is identified as 4/1/20; SAPs
configured on those ports are identified as 4/1/20:300.
Slot numbers are unique to each VC which are identified by their vc-stack-node, and can be
reused across different VCs. The software ensures the uniqueness of the slot number in each
VC by raising an error if two nodes in the same VC are assigned the same slot number.
The MAC address used for VC configuration is the chassis MAC address printed on the label
of the node. The MAC address of the IMM-only node is also visible using the console
connection.
When an IMM-only node boots up, it uses the MAC address and slot number received in the
VC discovery messages sent by the CPM node so that it can boot up in VC mode.
The no form of this command removes the IMM-node from the VC.
Parameters slot-number — Specifies the slot assigned to an IMM-only node in a VC.
Values 1 to 8
create — Keyword to create the node in a VC.
mac-address — Specifies the chassis MAC address of the IMM-only node.
