The Summit Virtual Chassis is an ultra-high performance, low-cost external backplane
that connects up to eight stacked or distributed Summit switches into one cohesive
system.
Features of the Summit Virtual Chassis include the following:
• Increased port density
• Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS)
• Load-sharing links
• Extensive fault-tolerant capabilities
— Redundant power supplies
— Hot-swappable switches
• How-swappable virtual chassis
— Environmental sensors
The Summit Virtual Chassis has eight SummitLink ports. A SummitLink port is a
proprietary backplane channel used to connect Summit switches to the Summit Virtual
Chassis.
