Complete Hardware Guide for EX4500 Ethernet Switches
Number of Switches, Required Software Releases, and Member Roles That You Configure in
the Virtual Chassis
Table 36: Number of Switches and Switch Roles for an EX4200 Virtual Chassis, per Junos OS
Release
Junos OS Release
Number of Switches
9.0 or later
Up to 10 EX4200 switches
104
On EX4550 switches:
The dedicated VCPs on the Virtual Chassis module
SFP+ network ports configured as VCPs
SFP+ expansion module ports configured as VCPs
10GBASE-T network ports configured as VCPs
10GBASE-T expansion module ports configured as VCPs
40G QSFP+ expansion module ports configured as VCPs
NOTE:
You can use the 10GBASE-T Ethernet network ports, 10GBASE-T
expansion module ports, and QSFP+ expansion module ports configured
as VCPs to interconnect only EX4550 switches in a Virtual Chassis. These
ports cannot be used to connect an EX4550 switch with an EX4200 switch
or an EX4500 switch in a Virtual Chassis.
A Virtual Chassis must have one member designated as the master switch and one
member designated as the backup switch. All other switches in the configuration are
designated as being in the linecard role. You manage Virtual Chassis operation through
the master switch.
The number of switches that you can configure in a Virtual Chassis and the role that can
be assigned to each switch in a Virtual Chassis depend on the Juniper Networks Junos
operating system (Junos OS) release that is running on the switches.
