Juniper Networks EX3200 manual Disconnecting a Virtual Chassis Cable from an EX4200 Switch

Complete Hardware Guide for EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches

To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in an EX Series switch:

1.Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the command:

[edit interfaces]

user@switch# set interface-name disable

WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

2.Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.

3.Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.

4.Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
