NOTE: For deployments with EX9200 switches, we recommend planning or
moving to MC-LAG or Junos Fusion Enterprise architectures rather than using
a Virtual Chassis. We do not recommend using EX9200 switches in a Virtual
Chassis.
You configure an EX9200 Virtual Chassis by configuring optical interfaces into Virtual
Chassis ports (VCPs). VCPs connect switches together to form a Virtual Chassis, and
are responsible for passing all data and control traffic between member switches in the
Virtual Chassis.
NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 17.1R1, EX9200 switches support the
EX9200-RE2 module. You cannot form a Virtual Chassis using an EX9200
switch with an EX9200-RE2 module installed in it.

A standalone EX9200 switch uses the re0 and re1 configuration groups to apply groups
on both Routing Engines. Because a Virtual Chassis with two member switches has four
Routing Engines that often have a need to share configuration amongst one another, you
should create four groups—one group for each Routing Engine in the Virtual
Chassis—instead of using the standard re0 and re1 configuration groups.
For a Virtual Chassis configuration consisting of two EX9200 switches, we strongly
recommend that you create and apply on the switch in the master role of the Virtual
Chassis the following configuration groups, instead of using the standard re0 and re1
configuration groups:
member0-re0
member0-re1
member1-re0
member1-re1
