In the Virtual Chassis Fabric – Part I – Overview we saw the high level details of VCF technology proposed by Juniper for small to mid-size datacenter. In this post we are going to discuss about the control and forwarding planes of VCF. The strong ties between forwarding plane and its discovery mechanism and the… Keep reading »

In this post I will cover the basics of Virtual Chassis Fabric technology that Juniper recommends to deploy small and medium-sized datacenters. Virtual Chassis Fabric(VCF) allows to build a plug-and-play Ethernet fabric that scales up to 32 members and provides deterministic latency and over-subscription with an internal 3-stage Clos topology. A VCF is constructed using… Keep reading »
