BEST PRACTICE: In a mixed VCF environment with multiple models of
QFX5100 and the EX4300, use QFX5100-24Q as spine devices. In the
maximum configuration of 20 total devices,up to four QFX5100-24Q devices
may be used as spine devices. All members can be connected to the spine
using QSFP+ ports. You can configure the QFX5100-96S as a spine in an all
QFX5100-96S VCF or in a mixed VCF comprised of EX4300 and
QFX5100-96S.
Figure 16 on page 29 shows the port panel of a QFX5100-48S switch.
