Description

This article provides information about logging in to EX8200VC member switches and FPCs. Users must log on to EX8200VC member switches and line cards for troubleshooting.

Symptoms

User login is only possible using root access.

Solution

 

Only a root user has rights to log in to the line card RE or the EX8200 member switch: 

login as: admin
[email protected]'s password:

--- JUNOS 11.1R3.5 built 2011-06-25 00:17:52 UTC
{master:8}
admin> start shell user root
Password: <<<<< enter root password

root@:RE:8%
root@:RE:8% cli

{master:8}
root> request session member 0

--- JUNOS 11.1R3.5 built 2011-06-25 01:18:46 UTC
root@:RE:0%

As a workaround, please log in to the line card RE and create the user.

In Junos OS 12.3 and later versions, once you create the user on XRE, the user will be created on line card RE as well.
