To connect a QFX5100-48S switch as a spine or leaf device in a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis
Fabric (VCF), you need a pair of dedicated ports and cables that link each spine device
and leaf device in the VCF. All spine devices have at least one direct VCP connection to
each leaf device in the VCF. See Connecting a QFX5100 Device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric
for a cabling diagram.
BEST PRACTICE:
of QFX5100 and the EX4300, use QFX5100-24Q as spine devices. In the
maximum configuration of 20 total devices, up to four QFX5100-24Q devices
may be used as spine devices. All members can be connected to the spine
using QSFP+ ports. You can configure the QFX5100-96S as a spine in an all
QFX5100-96S VCF or in a mixed VCF comprised of EX4300 and
QFX5100-96S.
As of Junos OS release 17.3R1, you can also connect a QFX5100-48S as a leaf device in
a QFX5110 VCF or as a member in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis.
Figure 44 on page 78 shows the port panel of a QFX5100-48S switch.
