Planning a Virtual Chassis Fabric Deployment

Table 25: Deployment Checklist

Item or Task
Components
Determine the number of devices in the
VCF and the role of each device.
NOTE: A VCF is not constrained to a
single building; the limits for the optic
cable are the only consideration.
Environment
Evaluate the provisioning options and
determine the configuration method
that applies to your deployment.

A Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) architecture supports up to 20 interconnected devices
that are managed as a logical single device. Supported platforms in a VCF are QFX5100,
QFX3600, QFX3500, and EX4300. Although the architecture has a powerful
auto-provisioning option, which allows you to plug and play the devices, careful planning
of the deployment can avoid unexpected results.
For example, if you perform any configuration level commands on one of the devices
(including assigning IP addresses or host names) you no longer can use auto-provisioning.
Use the following checklist to plan your deployment:
