Importing a QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane Virtual Chassis Configuration with a USB Flash Drive
There are two methods of importing the configuration file to the QFabric control plane Virtual Chassis. You can load the configuration file onto a USB flash drive from the Juniper Networks software download site before inserting the USB flash drive into the Virtual Chassis USB port, or you can copy and paste the configuration from the following example (see Example: Configuring the Virtual Chassis for a Copper-Based QFX3000-G QFabric System Control Plane).
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 or EX4300 switches). For more information, see Installing and Connecting an EX4200 Switch or Installing and Connecting an EX4300 Switch.
