A Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) is constructed using a spine-and-leaf
architecture and topology. In the spine-and-leaf architecture, each spine device is
interconnected to each leaf device. A VCF supports up to twenty total devices, and up
to four devices can be configured into spine devices. Supported devices in a VCF are:
QFX5100-24Q (spine or leaf)
QFX5100-48S (spine or leaf)
QFX3600 (leaf)
QFX3500 (leaf)
EX4300 (leaf)
