4. Configure into mixed mode if there are QFX3600, QFX3500, or EX4300 switches
operating as leaf devices in the VCF.
5. Configure each device for one of the provisioning modes: autoprovision, preprovision,
or nonprovision. See:
•
Autoprovisioning a Virtual Chassis Fabric
•
Preprovisioning a Virtual Chassis Fabric
•
Configuring a Nonprovisioned Virtual Chassis Fabric
6. Connect and configure one of the management ports (C0) or (C1) to a management
switch as the Virtual Management Ethernet interface. Using this interface, you can
configure and manage the devices in the VCF. See “Connecting a QFX5100 Device to
a Network for Out-of-Band Management” on page 180.
7. Commit your changes.
8. Cable the QSFP+ or SFP+ ports. For cabling examples, see “Connecting a QFX5100
Device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric” on page 187, Connecting a QFX3500 or QFX3600
Switch in a Virtual Chassis Fabric, and Connecting EX Series Switches in a Virtual Chassis
Fabric.
If you configured your devices as either autoprovisioned or preprovisioned, the Virtual
Chassis ports (VCP) are automatically configured. If you configure the devices as
nonprovisioned, you must manually configure the VCPs.
