  • By default, QFX5120-48YM switches come up in HiGig mode.
  • QFX5120-48YM switch model supports only HGoE protocol for virtual chassis formation.
  • Only eight 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ or 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 front panel uplink ports (ports 48 through 55) can be configured into VCPs to form a QFX5120-48YM Virtual Chassis. Any ports other than those specified above for QFX5120-48YM switches are not supported as VCPs.
