Solution

This issue "error: remote side unexpectedly closed connection" is observed when mixed mode is enabled. EX4300 can only be operated as line card in mixed mode VC. It cannot be operated as master or backup. 

You can disable mixed mode and check the cli. root@jtac-ex4300-48p-lab# show switch-options
voip {   interface ge-0/0/0.0 {     vlan v10;     forwarding-class expedited-forwarding;   } }   root@jtac-ex4300-48p-lab# run show virtual-chassis status      Virtual Chassis ID: 2e01.1fbb.a77b Virtual Chassis Mode: Enabled                         Mstr      Mixed Route Neighbor List Member ID Status  Serial No  Model     prio Role   Mode Mode ID Interface 0 (FPC 0) Prsnt  PD3723102157 ex4300-48p   128  Master*   N VC   Member ID for next new member: 1 (FPC 1)   To disable mixed mode you need to use the command below (it requires a reboot):   root@jtac-ex4300-48p-lab> request virtual-chassis mode mixed disable     fpc0: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mode set to 'Virtual Chassis with similar devices'. (Reboot required) {master:0} root@jtac-ex4300-48p-lab> request system reboot Reboot the system at now?
