How to connect to multiple members of QFX5100 VC/VCF using SSH and

Telnet

[KB30392] Show Article Properties

SUMMARY:
This article describes how you can connect to multiple members of a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis (VC) or QFX5100
Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) using SSH or Telnet.

SYMPTOMS:
Some scenarios might require you to connect to specific members of a QFX5100 VC or VCF using SSH or Telnet.
Using the IP address configured on the vme interface will always connect you to the master Flexible PIC
Concentrator (FPC) of the VC or VCF, which does not provide the required solution.

SOLUTION:
The following groups configuration allows you to achieve this requirement:
set groups node0 when member member0
set groups node0 system host-name member0
set groups node0 interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address 172.30.10.141/24
set groups node1 when member member1
set groups node1 system host-name member1
set groups node1 interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address 172.30.10.140/24
set apply-groups node0
set apply-groups node1
Now you can connect to FPC0 and FPC1 directly:
lab@host:~$ ssh root@172.30.10.141
The authenticity of host '172.30.10.141 (172.30.10.141)' can't be
established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 85:35:36:e6:d7:60:ba:66:e9:2a:32:19:34:d7:6d:e4.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
