A Virtual Chassis configuration is a very adaptable access switch solution. You can install
member switches in different wiring closets, interconnecting the member switches by
cabling and configuring uplink module ports and SFP network ports on EX4200-24F
switches as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs).
This example shows how to use uplink VCPs to connect Virtual Chassis members that
are located too far apart to be connected using the dedicated VCPs. Uplink VCPs can
also be used to connect Virtual Chassis members to form link aggregation groups (LAGs).
For the latter usage, see "Example: Configuring Link Aggregation Groups Using Uplink
Virtual Chassis Ports" on page 999.
NOTE: You can also configure the SFP networks ports on EX4200-24F
switches as VCPs to connect Virtual Chassis member switches across wiring
closets and to form LAGs.
This example describes how to configure a Virtual Chassis access switch interconnected
across wiring closets:
