Specific ports have been reserved on the Virtual Chassis to connect to the Interconnect
devices, Node devices, and QFX3100 Director devices in your QFabric system. Such design
simplifies installation and facilitates timely deployment of a QFabric system. It also
enables the use of a standard Virtual Chassis configuration (see
“Example: Configuring
the Virtual Chassis for the QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane” on page 283 ).
Before you begin to connect a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device to the copper-based
QFX3000-G QFabric system control plane network:
• Install your QFabric system hardware (Director group, Interconnect devices, and Node
devices). For more information, see
“Installing and Connecting a QFX3100 Director
Device” on page 143 , “Installing and Connecting a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device” on
page 155 , “Installing and Connecting a QFX3600 or QFX3600-I Device” on page 193 , and
“Installing and Connecting a QFX3500 Device” on page 211 .
• Install your Virtual Chassis hardware. For more information, see Installing and Connecting
an EX4200 Switch .
•
Create two Virtual Chassis of four EX4200-48T switches each. For more information,
see
Configuring an EX4200, EX4500, or EX4550 Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure) .
