Add Juniper VCP interface type to stacking choices #960
Comments
As far as I'm aware, Juniper utilizes standard Ethernet interfaces for stacking. The Cisco types are included only because they are physical interface definitions. |
Not all the switches use standard types.
For instance, EX4200 series switches use a proprietary Twinax cable.

Is it worth considering this being changed to be a table? That way the code wouldn't require updates every time a new speed of Gigabit Ethernet is announced! |
See #167 for the reasoning, why this is hard coded and not configurable. |
To add to what @jsenecal said, Juniper does have proprietary physical interfaces for many models like Cisco but they do also allow the use of regular interfaces for stacking as well, like @jeremystretch said. It should be noted that when this is the case, the interface in converted so that it no longer looks or acts like a standard interface to the system (it is renamed and renumbered). So they look and act like traditional (proprietary) stacking interfaces. But in short, yes Juniper does have proprietary VCP interfaces. |
I'm fine with adding any of the physical types if we can determine the canonical names. |
They are simply called Virtual Chassis Ports or more commonly referred to as VCP's. |
Issue type: feature request
Minor request to have Juniper VCP (Virtual Chassis Port) added as an interface type choice under the "Stacking" section.
