Planning EX2300 Virtual Chassis
Before interconnecting EX2300 switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration, you must
consider the following factors:
•
The number of switches in the Virtual Chassis and their location—You can interconnect
a maximum of four EX2300 switches to form a Virtual Chassis composed exclusively
of EX2300 switches.
•
Mounting—You can mount the switches in a single rack or install them on multiple
racks. For information about the size and strength of racks, see “Rack Requirements”
on page 59.
•
Cabling requirements for Virtual Chassis—You can interconnect EX2300 switches into
a Virtual Chassis by using the uplink ports configured as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs).
For information about uplink port cabling requirements, see “Management Cable
Specifications” on page 105.
•
Power requirements—You must plan the installation site to meet the power
requirements of the switches in a Virtual Chassis. See “Power Specifications for EX2300
Switches” on page 67.
•
License requirements—You must havelicense keysfor all the devices. See Understanding
Software Licenses for EX Series Switches.
