Hi, I'm encountering an error when configuring chassis IDs for a Virtual Chassis on my Alcatel Switch. I haven't yet connected the VF links. Can you guide me through the correct process?
Additional questions:
VF Link Automation: When using virtual-chassis auto-vf-link-port, does it eliminate the need for manual VF link creation? EMP IP Addresses: Are EMP IP addresses equivalent to management IP addresses?
PS. I am new to Alcatel switches. Thanks!
The 6560 switch does not have EMP port.
Please refer to the example below.

When the switch starts rebooting, connect the stacking cable to the VFL port.
When the slave switch completes booting, enter the following command on the master switch.
->show configuration vcm-snapshot chassis-id 2
->show virtual-chassis topology
->show virtual-chassis consistency
->show virtual-chassis vf-link
->show virtual-chassis vf-link member-port
After checking the VC status using the above command, proceed with saving and synchronization using the following command.
->write memory flash-synchro
