Ports Used To Interconnect Virtual Chassis Members - Juniper EX4200 Hardware Manual

You can interconnect EX4200 switches together to form a Virtual Chassis composed exclusively of EX4200
switches. You can interconnect EX4500 switches together to form a Virtual Chassis composed exclusively
of EX4500 switches. You can interconnect EX4550 switches together to form a Virtual Chassis composed
exclusively of EX4550 switches. You can also interconnect EX4200 switches with EX4500 switches or
with EX4550 switches or with both switches to form a mixed Virtual Chassis.

Ports Used to Interconnect Virtual Chassis Members

You can use the following ports to connect Virtual Chassis members:
On EX4200 switches:
The dedicated Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) on each switch
SFP, SFP+, or XFP uplink module ports configured as VCPs
SFP network ports on EX4200-24F switches configured as VCPs
On EX4500 switches:
The dedicated VCPs on the Virtual Chassis module
SFP+ network ports configured as VCPs
SFP+ uplink module ports configured as VCPs
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.
