CHAPTER 8 Planning the Virtual Chassis • Understanding J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis Hardware Configurations on page 69 • Planning J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis on page 70 Understanding J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis Hardware Configurations Up to two J-EX4500 switches can be interconnected into a Virtual Chassis composed exclusively of J-EX4500 switches. J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 switches can be connected together into the same Virtual Chassis to form a mixed J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis. A mixed Virtual Chassis supports up to two J-EX4500 switches and up to eight J-EX4200 switches.

All other switches in the configuration are designated as being in the line card role. You manage Virtual Chassis operation through the master switch. Each switch in the Virtual Chassis is assigned a unique identifier that is displayed on the switch LCD panel. In a mixed Virtual Chassis, a J-EX4500 switch must be configured in the master and backup roles.

Understanding J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis Hardware Configurations
Up to two J-EX4500 switches can be interconnected into a Virtual Chassis composed
exclusively of J-EX4500 switches.
J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 switches can be connected together into the same Virtual
Chassis to form a mixed J-EX4200 and J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis. A mixed Virtual Chassis
supports up to two J-EX4500 switches and up to eight J-EX4200 switches.
The Virtual Chassis configuration requires designating one of the members as the master
switch, and another as the backup switch. All other switches in the configuration are
designated as being in the line card role. You manage Virtual Chassis operation through
the master switch. Each switch in the Virtual Chassis is assigned a unique identifier that
is displayed on the switch LCD panel.
In a mixed Virtual Chassis, a J-EX4500 switch must be configured in the master and
backup roles. For configuration details, see the
Dell PowerConnect J-Series Ethernet Switch
Complete Software Guide for Junos OS
at
.
NOTE:
You can configure and manage a standalone J-EX4500 switch with
the J-Web interface, but the J-Web interface does not support configuration
and management of a J-EX4500 Virtual Chassis.
