Hey,

My experience with VirtualChassis with a lot of them (you know where) is globally positive. In fact I dot not remember when a VC completly fail. This is not a perfect techno but it do the job for very low cost of setup.

On EX series you have no choice, afaik MC-LAG is not supported (unless on highend series).

On QFX I would hesitate. My tests are OK.
Running independent switches is more reliable indeed, but even with automation tool the cost of setup/maintenance is bit higher. (and in my actual work I have just no time to spend with network config unfortunately).

Hey!

How reliable should MC-LAG be considered on EX and QFX series (in a pure
L2 setup)?

I had a few bad experiences with virtual chassis where a hiccup usually
translates to both switches becoming unavailable. This is pretty rare of
course. MC-LAG would avoid those coordinated faults but is it otherwise
as reliable as virtual chassis?

Thanks!
