LCD Panel Modes

The LCD panel operates in four modes: boot, idle, status, and maintenance.

The first line of text on the LCD panel displays the slot number, the role of the switch, and hostname in all the modes.

For a standalone EX4300 switch, by default the slot number is 00, and the role is RE.

In an EX4300 switch that is a member of a Virtual Chassis, the first line of the LCD panel always displays:

● The slot number (the member ID of the Virtual Chassis member)

● Role of the switch in the Virtual Chassis (RE for primary, BK for backup, and LC for line card member)
