Wired Assurance: Day 1 - Virtual Chassis
Manage a virtual chassis with Wired Assurance.
Virtual chassis (VC) technology allows you to connect up to 10 EX Switches that you can configure and manage as a single logical device. This Wired Assurance Day 1 video walks through setting up a VC with two Juniper Networks EX3400 Ethernet Switches.
You’ll learn
How a VC simplifies network ops
Pushing configurations to a VC environment
Viewing switch insights like CPU and memory utilization
Who is this for?

00:06 this video covers how juniper miss cloud
00:08 manages a virtual chassis or vc
00:11 up to 10 ex switches can be operated as
00:14 one logical device and managed as a
00:16 single chassis
00:17 simplifying network operations this vc
00:20 is made of two ex3400s you can see the
00:23 port diagram
00:24 showing more details like the vc connect
00:26 and roles
00:27 like backup and master the ex switches
00:31 are configured via templates
00:33 so here you can adjust the settings as
00:34 needed additionally for corner cases
00:37 that cannot be satisfied in the ui
00:39 there is an option for cli commands in
00:42 the port profiles and configuration
00:44 models video
00:46 we already configured vlans vlan ids and
00:49 port profiles
00:50 like an access point or camera the
00:52 profiles can be assigned to ports in the
00:56 vc
00:58 [Music]
01:00 for this setup ports 19 and 20 are used
01:03 as upstream links
01:04 with other ports mapped to other types
01:06 of device profiles
01:09 you can push configurations to a vc
01:11 environment and see the switch data and
01:13 activity
01:14 in switch insights you see a breakdown
01:17 of cpu utilization
01:18 memory utilization bytes port errors and
01:21 power draw
01:26 the green color port shows its status of
01:28 the port
01:29 you can see the switches within the vc
01:31 or individually by toggling through the
01:33 icons above the switch
01:35 configuring and managing ex switches in
01:37 a vc stack has never been more simple
01:40 than with the juniper miss cloud
