4600-4300 VC
We are replacing our existing core Switch (Ex 4200) with two EX 4600 and two EX 4300 in one VC, I have referred juniper site to find that both the 4600 and 4300 should be same os version , but same need is not mentioned anywhere in the second URL from juniper , Can some one let me know whether the OS version of both 4600 and 4300 should be same( I am sure that the OS version should be same for same devices, but not sure with Mixed Mode VC).This is very important for me as I need to Complete the Setup in two weeks.
1.http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/specifications/cable-ex4600-virtual-chassis.html
"For Junos OS releases between 13.2X50-D10 and 14.1X53-D25, use the use the EX4300 as a master and backup RE in the Virtual Chassis. For Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D25 and later, the EX4600 is fully supported as the master in a mixed Virtual Chassis of EX4600 and EX4300. Ensure all members of the Virtual Chassis are running the same Junos OS “
Below URL does not mention anything that the OS version should be the same.
2.https://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos14.1/topics/task/configuration/virtual-chassis-ex4600-cli.html
OR does that mean only both 4600 needs to be the same ?
Here is the version of the new device that is planned to be implemented.
- EX 4600 - 14.1X53-D27.3
- EX 4600- 14.1X53-D27.3
- EX 4300- 13.2X51-D26.2
- EX 4300- 13.2X51-D26.2
