Uplink Ports

EX4100 and EX4100-F switches have autosensing uplink ports that you can use to connect an access
switch to a distribution switch. The uplink ports on the front panel are configured as network ports by
default. You cannot use the uplink ports as Virtual Chassis ports. The uplink ports on the front panel
support 1-gigabit SFP transceivers and/or 10-gigabit SFP+ transceivers. You can use a combination of
SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
For a list of supported transceivers, see
EX4100-F Switches" on page

Virtual Chassis

EX4100 and EX4100-F switches have dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) that you can use to
interconnect member switches of a Virtual Chassis. Only homogenous virtual chassis is supported; that
is, you can connect any EX4100 switch, including EX4100 multigigabit switch and EX4100-F switch, in a
virtual chassis. You can interconnect a maximum of 10 switches to form a Virtual Chassis. You can
operate these interconnected switches as a single, logical device with a single IP address. If you operate
the interconnected switches as a single device, you must use all the Virtual Chassis ports as Virtual
Chassis ports or use all of them as network ports. You cannot mix multiple types of ports within a single,
logical device.
