I was pretty sure you *cannot* use the remaining SFP ports if they are configured for VC?? Am I mistaken?

You can have an EX4200 using the back-of-chassis 32Gbps VCP-dedicated ports at the same time using your front-of-chassis XFP or SFP+ also as VCP-configured ports. It's also nice to know that even while doing this, you can use remaining front-of-chassis optical ports as configured inet or switched ports. I've also had success forming a VC between EX4200s' SFP+ VCP ports through a DWDM network over 30 miles away, though I wouldn't recommend this for a permanent reliable solution.

Can I set up a Juniper EX series virtual chassis using a high-speed backbone on one floor of a building and then connect that VC to another switch (or two) via link-aggregation on the SFP ports? I'm not sure you can mix the VC connections, is all. Can I use both the stacking backbone on one floor and the SFP links on another floor in the same virtual chassis?
