Use the SFP+ management ports to connect the QFX3008-I Interconnect Devices to
each Virtual Chassis (see Figure 218 on page

Specific ports have been reserved on the Virtual Chassis to connect to the Interconnect
devices, Node devices, and QFX3100 Director devices in your QFabric system. Such design
simplifies installation and facilitates timely deployment of a QFabric system. It also
enables the use of a standard Virtual Chassis configuration (see Example: Configuring
the Virtual Chassis for a Copper-Based QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane).
Before you begin to connect a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device to the copper-based
QFX3000-G QFabric system control plane network:
Install your QFabric system hardware (Director group, Interconnect devices, and Node
devices). For more information, see

Interconnect the two Virtual Chassis switches using the 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+
uplink ports. For more information, see
