    Hi Kronicklez,

     

    Yes, no separate license for Virtual Chassis. Please refer the below link:

     

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/general/qfx-series-software-license-features.html

     

    Note: There is no separate license for Virtual Chassis like there is for Virtual Chassis Fabric.

    Hi Rahul,

     

    I'm already read the url given. So the summary is QFX5100 support Virtual Chassis by default right?

     

     

    Thanks and appreciate your clarification.

    I have also 2 QFX5100 and I can create a virtual chassis.

    After a switch-over of the routing-engine, it takes at least 5 minutes that the VC is back formed because the VCP interfaces are down.

    This is not acceptable. I don't have this in a EX virtual chassis setup.

    The VCPs are configured with the ports et-0/0/48 (40 Gbit)

     

    Current software version : 17.4R1.16

    According to a kb juniper article, it is a requirement to install the qfx-5-e junos version. When I check the junos download page for QFX5100, it is not available. (https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB32473&cat=&actp=LIST)

    Even the virtual chassis can be setup with the current software version, I would like to install the qfx-5-e version before going in production and maybe it will solve the issue with the switchover of the RE.

     

    I saw on the download page that the qfx-5-e version is available for the QFX5110 switch. Can this junos package be used ?

     

    Thanks for your support.
