Conclusion
The EX4200 VC is a powerful form of abstraction that permits you to start small and grow into a large-scale switching platform that offers the ease of use and management associated with a single entity.
The Juniper Networks VC is truly simple to deploy and maintain, given the CLI’s support of a member context switch and the ability to connect to member switches over internal communications paths, even when there is a problem that may prevent that member from actively joining the VC. You have the choice of just plugging things together with no explicit VC configuration, or you can exercise a high degree of deterministic control over most aspects of a VC’s operation. Besides being easier to manage, there are significant HA benefits to the VC, including redundant REs and the resulting ability to support GRES and NSR, but also for forwarding plane faults and the VC’s ability to work around a failed PFE or VC trunk through LS VCCP.
The next chapter keeps things rolling by getting into the meat of
STP, the heart and soul of any LAN switch. You will be glad that there is
now one less switch to manage and troubleshoot when things invariably go
astray, given that Vodkila lives strong, and lives large, and
is far more than the sum of its individual parts.
