Configuring the Virtual Chassis EMP IP Address - Virtual Chassis Mode
Use the ip interface command to modify the Virtual Chassis EMP IP address as shown below. These
commands would be issued after the virtual chassis is operational:
-> ip interface master emp address 10.255.100.100 mask 255.255.255.0
Additional EMP IP Addresses
The Primary or Secondary’s CMM’s IP address, stored in NVRAM can also be configured. These
addresses can be used to access a specific CMM but are not required for remote access. On an OS10K the
IP addresses are named as follows and are associated to each CMM on each chassis.
• EMP-CMMA-CHAS1
• EMP-CMMB-CHAS1
• EMP-CMMA-CHAS2
• EMP-CMMB-CHAS2
A direct connection to the associated CMM’s console port is required before attempting to change IP
address information using the modify boot parameters command as shown in the example below:
-> modify boot parameters
Boot > boot empipaddr 255.255.100.50
Boot > boot empmasklength 16
Boot > commit system
Boot > commit
Controlled Shutdown of a Virtual Chassis Participant Switch
The virtual-chassis shutdown command allows a switch to be brought to an isolated state where all user
ports and virtual-fabric link member ports are brought down. This allows for the graceful removal of the
switch from the active virtual chassis topology.
