Example: Configuring the Virtual Chassis for the QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane
This example shows you how to connect QFabric system components and configure the Virtual Chassis used by the QFX3000-G QFabric system control plane network. Proper wiring of Director devices, Interconnect devices, and Node devices to the Virtual Chassis, combined with a standard configuration, enables you to bring up the internal QFabric system management network and prepare your QFabric system for full operation.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- One QFX3000-G QFabric system containing:
- Two QFX3100 Director devices
- Two QFX3008-I Interconnect devices
- Eight QFX3500 Node devices
- Eight EX4200-48T switches, used to make two redundant Virtual Chassis with four members apiece
- Junos OS Release 12.1R1.9 for the EX Series switches used in the Virtual Chassis
- Junos OS Release 12.2 for the QFX Series
Before you begin:
- Rack, mount, and install your QFabric system hardware (Director group, Interconnect devices, and Node devices). For more information, see Installing and Connecting a QFX3100 Director Device, Installing and Connecting a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device, and Installing and Connecting a QFX3500 Device.
- Rack, mount, and install your Virtual Chassis hardware (EX4200 switches). For more information, see Installing and Connecting an EX4200 Switch.
- Create two Virtual Chassis of four members each. For more information, see Configuring an EX4200, EX4500, or EX4550 Virtual Chassis (CLI Procedure).
Overview
The QFX3000-G QFabric system control plane network connects the Director group, Interconnect devices, and Node devices in a QFabric system across a pair of redundant Virtual Chassis. By separating the management control plane from the data plane, the QFabric system can scale efficiently. The control plane network uses Gigabit Ethernet cabling and connections between components, and a 10-Gigabit Ethernet backbone between the redundant Virtual Chassis.
Specific ports have been reserved on the Virtual Chassis to connect to each of the QFabric system device types. Such design simplifies installation and facilitates timely deployment of a QFabric system. It also permits the use of a standard Virtual Chassis configuration included as part of this example. The standard configuration can scale from the minimum topology of eight Node devices shown in this example to the maximum of 128 Node devices for a fully implemented QFX3000-G QFabric system.
Topology
Figure 1 shows the general port ranges where QFabric system devices must be connected to the Virtual Chassis. For each Virtual Chassis member, connect ports 0 through 31 to Node devices, ports 38 and 39 to Interconnect devices, and ports 40 and 41 to Director devices. Table 1 shows the details of the QFabric system device-to-Virtual Chassis port mappings.
Figure 1: QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane—Virtual Chassis Port Ranges

![]() | Caution: The control plane network within a QFabric system should be considered a critical component of the system that should not be shared with other network traffic. In order to scale efficiently, the control plane network must be reserved for the QFabric system and its components. As a result, the ports of the QFabric system control plane must never be used for any purpose other than to transport QFabric system control plane traffic, and we neither recommend nor support the connection of other devices to the QFabric system control plane network. |
![]() | Note: Not all port numbers are represented in Table 1, and ports 32 through 37 and ports 42 through 47 are reserved for future uses. |
Table 1 shows the specific mappings of QFabric system control plane network ports from the Virtual Chassis to the QFabric system components.

Next, connect the Director devices to the Virtual Chassis. In general, you want to accomplish the following:
- Connect three ports from one network module in a Director device to the first Virtual Chassis, and three ports from the second network module to the second Virtual Chassis. You need to repeat these connections from the second Director device to both Virtual Chassis to provide resiliency for the system.
- Connect the Director devices to each other and create a Director group. You can use either straight-through RJ-45 patch cables or crossover cables, because the Director devices contain autosensing modules. Connect one port from each network module on the first Director device to one port in each network module on the second Director device.
Figure 2 shows the specific ports on the Director group that you must connect to the Virtual Chassis and interconnect between the Director devices.
Figure 2: QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane—Director Group to Virtual Chassis Connections

In this specific example, connect ports 0, 1, and 2 from module 0 on Director device DG0 to port 40 on Virtual Chassis VC0 (ge-0/0/40, ge-1/0/40, and ge-2/0/40), and connect ports 0, 1, and 2 from module 1 to port 40 on Virtual Chassis VC1 (ge-0/0/40, ge-1/0/40, and ge-2/0/40).
For Director device DG1, connect ports 0, 1, and 2 from module 0 to port 41 on Virtual Chassis VC0 (ge-0/0/41, ge-1/0/41, and ge-2/0/41), and connect ports 0, 1, and 2 from module 1 to port 41 on Virtual Chassis VC1 (ge-0/0/41, ge-1/0/41, and ge-2/0/41).
To form the Director group, connect module 0, port 3 on Director device DG0 to module 0, port 3 on Director device DG1. Similarly, connect module 1, port 3 on Director device DG0 to module 1, port 3 on Director device DG1. Table 2 shows the port mappings for the Director group in this example.

|
In the software, the ports of each network module are reversed, numbered from right to left, and incremented sequentially across modules. If you issue interface operational commands directly on the Director device, please note the following port mappings as shown in Table 3:
Table 3: Hardware to Software Port Mappings for Director Device Network Modules
Network Module | Port 0 | Port 1 | Port 2 | Port 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Module 0 | eth5 | eth4 | eth3 | eth2 |
Module 1 | eth9 | eth8 | eth7 | eth6 |
Figure 3 shows the specific ports on the Interconnect devices that you must connect to the Virtual Chassis. In general, connect one port from each Control Board module in an Interconnect device to the first Virtual Chassis, and a second port from each Control Board module to the second Virtual Chassis.
Figure 3: QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane—Interconnect Device to Virtual Chassis Connections

In this specific example, for both Interconnect devices IC0 and IC1, connect port 0 from CB0 and CB1 to Virtual Chassis VC0 and port 1 from CB0 and CB1 to Virtual Chassis VC1. Connect the port 0 cables to port 39 on Virtual Chassis VC0 (ge-0/0/39, ge-1/0/39, ge-2/0/39, and ge-3/0/39), and connect the port 1 cables to port 39 on Virtual Chassis VC1 (ge-0/0/39, ge-1/0/39, ge-2/0/39, and ge-3/0/39). Table 4 shows the port mappings for the Interconnect devices in this example.

Interconnect Device | Virtual Chassis VC0 | Virtual Chassis VC1 |
|---|---|---|
IC0 |
|

As required, you can extend the number of Interconnect devices from two to four. For additional Interconnect devices IC2 and IC3, connect port 0 from CB0 and CB1 to Virtual Chassis VC0 and port 1 from CB0 and CB1 to Virtual Chassis VC1. Connect the port 0 cables to port 38 on Virtual Chassis VC0 (ge-0/0/38, ge-1/0/38, ge-2/0/38, and ge-3/0/38), and connect the port 1 cables to port 38 on Virtual Chassis VC1 (ge-0/0/38, ge-1/0/38, ge-2/0/38, and ge-3/0/38). Table 5 shows the port mappings needed to extend the number of Interconnect devices in this example to four devices.

Figure 4 shows the specific ports on the Node devices that you must connect to the Virtual Chassis. In general, connect the first management port from a Node device to the first Virtual Chassis, and the second management port to the second Virtual Chassis.
Figure 4: QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane—Node Device to Virtual Chassis Connections

In this specific example, for Node device Node0, connect port C0 (also known as me0) to Virtual Chassis VC0 port ge-0/0/0, and connect port C1 (also known as me1) to Virtual Chassis VC1 port ge-0/0/0.
For the remaining seven Node devices, connect port C0 to the ge-0/0/X port on Virtual Chassis VC0 that matches the Node device number. Similarly, connect port C1 to the port on Virtual Chassis VC1 that matches the Node device number. For example, you would connect Node device Node5 to port ge-0/0/5. Table 6 shows the full set of port mappings for the Node devices in this example.
Table 6: Node Device Port Mappings
Node Device | Virtual Chassis VC0 | Virtual Chassis VC1 |
|---|---|---|
Node0 | C0 to ge-0/0/0 | C1 to ge-0/0/0 |
Node1 | C0 to ge-0/0/1 | C1 to ge-0/0/1 |
Node2 | C0 to ge-0/0/2 | C1 to ge-0/0/2 |
Node3 | C0 to ge-0/0/3 | C1 to ge-0/0/3 |
Node4 | C0 to ge-0/0/4 | C1 to ge-0/0/4 |
Node5 | C0 to ge-0/0/5 | C1 to ge-0/0/5 |
Node6 | C0 to ge-0/0/6 | C1 to ge-0/0/6 |
Node7 | C0 to ge-0/0/7 | C1 to ge-0/0/7 |
Figure 5 shows the specific ports on the members of the first Virtual Chassis that you must connect to the members of the second Virtual Chassis. These connections create a link aggregation bundle (LAG) that provides redundancy and resiliency for the Virtual Chassis portion of the control plane. In general, connect each 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink port from the first Virtual Chassis to the corresponding 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink port on the second Virtual Chassis.
Figure 5: QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane—Inter-Virtual Chassis LAG Connections

In this specific example, for Virtual Chassis VC0, connect port xe-0/1/0 to Virtual Chassis VC1 port xe-0/1/0. For the remaining seven 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, connect each port from VC0 to the corresponding port on VC1. For example, you would connect the xe-2/1/2 port on VC0 to port xe-2/1/2 on VC1, and so on.
Table 7 shows the full set of port mappings for the Virtual Chassis LAG connections in this example.

Uplink port 2 | xe-0/1/2 to xe-0/1/2 | xe-1/1/2 to xe-1/1/2 | xe-2/1/2 to xe-2/1/2 | xe-3/1/2 to xe-3/1/2 |
Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure the QFabric system control plane Virtual Chassis, copy the following commands, paste them in a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.
![]() | Note: The configuration files for a QFabric system control plane network are also available for download from the QFX Series section of the Junos OS software download page at https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/junos.html . |
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires that you navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For instructions on how to do that, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode.
To configure a Virtual Chassis for the QFabric system control plane network:
- Create a configuration group to define global QFabric
system control plane properties. Enable commit synchronization and
graceful switchover, set up the number of aggregated Ethernet devices,
configure alarm and LCD management, activate loop prevention, nonstop
bridging, and storm control, configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP), specify a global VLAN (VLAN 100) and 802.1q tunneling, define
options for aggregated Ethernet interfaces, and enable the uplink
module for 10-Gigabit Ethernet operation.
Enable class of service (CoS) for the QFabric system control plane network. Establish forwarding classes, priorities, scheduler maps, classifiers, and queues for three types of traffic: control traffic, interdevice traffic, and best-effort traffic. Apply the qfabric group settings to the configuration.

In the output of the show virtual-chassis status command, if all four members appear, the Virtual Chassis is operational.
In the output of the show interfaces terse command, if all interfaces that connect to the QFabric system devices are listed as up (such as ge-0/0/39, ge-1/0/39, ge-2/0/39, and ge-3/0/39 for the Interconnect devices; ge-0/0/40, ge-1/0/40, and ge-2/0/40 for the Director devices; ge-0/0/0 through ge-0/0/7 for the Node devices; and xe-0/1/0, xe-0/1/2, xe-1/1/0, xe-1/1/2, xe-2/1/0, xe-2/1/2, xe-3/1/0, and xe-3/1/2 for the inter-Virtual Chassis connections), the control plane is properly connected.
Verifying the QFabric System Control Plane—Virtual Chassis VC1
Purpose
Verify that your second Virtual Chassis is operational.
Action
Connect to the Junos OS CLI of Virtual Chassis VC1, either from your management network or from the console port of the master Virtual Chassis member. In operational mode, enter the show virtual-chassis status and show interfaces terse commands.
