 | Note: In the features tables, software features that run on EX4200 Virtual Chassis are indicated in the column headed "EX3200, EX4200 Switches" and software features that run on EX3300 Virtual Chassis are indicated in the column headed “EX3300 Switches”. If a software feature only runs on an EX3300 or EX4200 Virtual Chassis and not on a standalone switch, the column entry includes a note making this distinction. |
