Synchronize Virtual Chassis configs using SCP

You can use Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) to securely transfer configuration data in a Virtual Chassis from the Virtual Chassis member in the primary Routing Engine role to a Virtual Chassis member in the backup Routing Engine role or line-card role. Synchronization occurs when a configuration is committed on the primary Virtual Chassis member, when a line-card member reboots, or when a new line-card member is added to the Virtual Chassis. When FIPS is enabled, the system uses SCP by default to synchronize configuration data.

You must enable the system commit config-sync-with-scp configuration to use SCP for synchronization.
