NOTE: Feature licenses are required to configure advanced features on a
Virtual Chassis.
For a Virtual Chassis deployment, two license keys are recommended for
redundancy—one for the device in the master Routing Engine role and the
other for the device in the backup Routing Engine role.
For informationon the featurelicensingrequirements for a QFX Series Virtual
