Re: [j-nsp] VC ports on EX4300

Not relevant if you are using the 40g ports, but on the 4300-32f I ran into an issue using 10g ports - the 4300-f requires you to use the expansion module located on the far left hand side of the chassis for vc. I couldn't get the regular 1/10g module to work and JTAC agreed it requires the

VC port carries inter switch traffic (potentially large) and also some state replication traffic. (not very much) The answer mostly depends on how much your inter-switch traffic are. On Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 3:17 AM, Valentini, Lucio wrote: > Hi there, > > I was

[j-nsp] VC ports on EX4300

2017-02-14 Thread Valentini, Lucio
Hi there, I was wondering what speed of VC port is necessary if I have 10 Gbps ports as traffic ports on a VC with EX4300; would VC ports at 10 Gbps be enough or do I need 40 Gbps ports? The 2 switches will be over 100 meters apart from each other, so I need to use the uplink module ports to
