What is the fxp0 interface in Juniper?

The fxp0 interface on Juniper routers is expressly designed to be an ‘out-of-band’ management port for your router. It is not designed to support or be configured with advanced features that many other Juniper PIC’s are designed for.

How do I set the management IP on a Juniper switch?

To configure a management port by CLI commands.

  1. Use the command “family inet address” to configure a management IP address on the interface.
  2. Configure a static route with the next hop to the management network default gateway set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 10.93.15.1/21.

What is out of band management Juniper?

Out-of-band management is handled through special management interfaces on Juniper Networks devices. They’re designed so that traffic that arrives on these interfaces does not get routed on other network interfaces on the router. This setup separates management traffic and network traffic.

What is FXP interface?

A permanent interface is any interface that is always present on the router (it cannot be altered). On EX switches, the management interface is called the me0 interface; on all other routers, it is the fxp0 interface.

What is Reth interface SRX?

A redundant Ethernet (reth) interface is a pseudo-interface that includes a physical interface from each node of a cluster. A reth interface of the active node is responsible for passing the traffic in a chassis cluster setup.

What is 6U VME?

6U VME Carriers X-ES provides a 6U VME64x XMC and PMC Carrier Card solutions. They include PCI-X support between the two XMC or PrPMC slots and the VME bridge, making it ideal for applications that demand the flexibility and high-bandwidth that XMC and PrPMC modules offer.

What is BME interface?

bme0 interface is used for internal communication between different components of the device. For instance, the IP address from bme0. 1(128.0. 128.4) is used as the local IP address for fabric BGP sessions between NW-NG-0 and the two route-reflectors(FC-0, FC-1).

How do you make a Reth?

To create a reth interface:

  1. Click Resources > Devices. The Devices page is displayed.
  2. Select a CPE device from the list of devices displayed and click More > Manage Switch Connectivity.
  3. Click Add RETH Interface.
  4. Complete the configuration settings according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
  5. Click OK.

What is the fxp0 interface for srx300?

For SRX340 and SRX345 devices, the fxp0 interface is a dedicated port. For SRX300 and SRX320 devices, after you enable chassis clustering and reboot the system, the built-in interface named ge-0/0/0 is repurposed as the management interface and is automatically renamed fxp0.

Is the fxp0 interface an out of band interface?

The fxp0 interfaces are supposed to be Out of Band management interfaces. However, there is a specific requirement where the SRX nodes in a cluster need to be accessed on fxp0 from the other side of a VPN tunnel terminating on the SRX. Fxp0 interfaces are meant to be for Out of Band Management only.

What are the interfaces for the srx550 chassis?

For the SRX550, these interfaces are ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1. The ge-0/0/0 interface will be mapped to fxp0 (out-of-band management) and the ge-0/0/1 interface will be mapped to fxp1 (control). The interfaces that are mapped to fxp0 and fxp1 are device specific.

How to access the fxp0 interface in VR?

Put a route in the default VR pointing towards the management switch for reverse traffic. In this scenario, only the fxp0 interface would be in the default routing instance and all the other interfaces would be in a different virtual router.
