The 8200 vc stability is the best out of the EX lineup in my testing. I can't make it fall over, where as I can find corner cases that will crash 3300s etc.
Just keep in mind the VC connections will only work with certain line cards afaik. And I thought two RE's were required for dual xre use but I guess a 2200 in the middle is indeed a hack. :p Morgan On Tuesday, August 13, 2013, Billy Sneed wrote: > The EX8200 Virtual-Chassis w/ a couple of the XRE200's does well.
