To take advantage of the scalability features of J-EX4200 switches, you can configure
a Virtual Chassis that includes up to 10 member switches. You can interconnect the
member switches using the dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on the back of the
switch. You do not have to configure the interface for the dedicated VCPs. If you want
to interconnect member switches that are located in different racks or wiring closets,
interconnect them using uplinks configured as VCP interfaces. See "Setting an Uplink
Module Port as a Virtual Chassis Port (CLI Procedure)" on page 792.
