In a QFX Virtual Chassis, you can connect up to 10 standalone QFX5100, QFX3600,
QFX3500, and EX4300 switches into a QFX Series Virtual Chassis and manage the
interconnected switches as a single chassis. Unlike a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), which
is cabled in a spine and leaf topology, the QFX Virtual Chassis is cabled in a ring topology.

You configure a QFX Series Virtual Chassis by configuring the switch 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. All non-channelized QSFP+ uplink interfaces on standalone QFX5100
