Connecting EX4600 Switches in a Virtual Chassis
EX4600 switches can be cabled together to create a Virtual Chassis in a ring topology.
Each Virtual Chassis can have up to 10 switches (members) participating in the ring. The
Virtual Chassis can be comprised of all EX4600 switches filling the master Routing Engine
(RE), backup RE, and linecard roles. You can also add EX4300 switches to the Virtual
Chassis in the linecard role, but is not recommended as a master or backup.
Virtual Chassis can be installed in a single rack, multiple rack, or in wire closets.
You configure an EX4600 Virtual Chassis by configuring the SFP+ or QSFP+ interfaces
into Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). VCPs connect switches together to form a Virtual
Chassis, and are responsible for passing all data and control traffic between member
switches in the Virtual Chassis. All non-channelized QSFP+ uplink interfaces on standalone
