Solution

To delete a Virtual Chassis configuration for MX Series routers:


1.Delete the Virtual Chassis ports from each member router.

2.Delete the definitions and applications for the following configuration groups on each member router:

  • member0-re0
  • member0-re1
  • member1-re0
  • member1-re1


3.Delete the preprovisioned member information configured at the [edit virtual-chassis] hierarchy level on the primary router.

4.Delete any interfaces that were configured on the member routers when the Virtual Chassis was created.

5.Delete the Virtual Chassis member IDs to reboot each router and disable Virtual Chassis mode.
