Connecting a Virtual Chassis Cable to an EX4200 Switch
EX4200 switches have two Virtual Chassis ports on the rear panel. You can use the Virtual Chassis ports to interconnect up to 10 EX4200 switches, enabling them to operate as a unified single high bandwidth switch. To see illustrations of a few Virtual Chassis cabling configuration examples, see “Virtual Chassis Cabling Configuration Examples for EX4200 Switches” on page 103.
