I don't believe an EX VC fiber port will work in James' provider-offered VPLS scenario for the reason that VPLS uses MAC learning to operation, and I believe the VC-ports on the EX assume a directly connected VC port from a neighboring EX. However, if the provider was offering him a pseudo wire ser

The MX implementation of VCCP uses standard 802.1Q with a vlan-id of 4094. I'm sure the EX is the same as well. The maximum latency is 100ms. Although I agree having a virtual chassis span a WAN isn't the best idea ever. Thank you, -- Doug Hanks - JNCIE-ENT #213, JNCIE-SP #875 Sr. Systems En

Hi All, I am curious with a EX4200 as to the requirements of the uplink ports when attempting to use VCT / VCCP. Juniper documentation says a 1000BaseTX SFP module is unable to be used however I have been told that this does in fact work and the documentation may not have caught up yet? I am also
