Line Card Model and Version Compatibility in an EX8200 Switch
Twelve line cards are available for EX8200 switches. The extra-scale line card models, identified by the letters “ES” at the end of the model names, provide larger IPv4 and IPv6 route table sizes than the non-extra-scale models to store more unicast routes.
Table 1 shows the model numbers, names of the line cards, the Junos OS release in which the models were released, the release in which support on EX8200 Virtual Chassis was introduced, and the release in which Virtual Chassis Port (VCP) support was introduced for ports on the line card.

Ensure that all of the line cards in a switch are supported in the Junos OS release that you want to use.
 | Note: We recommend that you do not install extra-scale line card models and non-extra-scale models in the same switch or Virtual Chassis. If you install extra-scale line cards in a switch or Virtual Chassis that has non-extra-scale models installed, the IPv4 and IPv6 route table sizes default to those of the non-extra-scale models and you will not get the benefit of the increased table sizes of the extra-scale models. You will experience these decreased route table sizes in a Virtual Chassis even when the non-extra-scale line cards are installed in one member switch and the extra-scale line cards are installed in another member switch. |
