Example: Configuring the Chassis Cluster Management Interface
This example shows how to provide network management access to a chassis cluster.
Requirements
Before you begin, set the chassis cluster node ID and cluster ID. See Example: Setting the Chassis Cluster Node ID and Cluster ID.
Overview
You must assign a unique IP address to each node in the cluster to provide network management access. This configuration is not replicated across the two nodes.
For most SRX Series chassis clusters, the fxp0 interface is a dedicated port. For SRX100, SRX210, the fxp0 interface is repurposed from a built-in interface. The fxp0 interface is created when the system reboots the devices after you designate one node as the primary device and the other as the secondary device.
![]() | Note: If you try to access the nodes in a cluster over the network before you configure the fxp0 interface, you will lose access to the cluster. |
In this example, you configure the following information for IPv4:
- Node 0 name—node0-router
- IP address assigned to node 0—10.1.1.1/24
- Node 1 name—node1-router
- IP address assigned to node 1—10.1.1.2/24
In this example, you configure the following information for IPv6:
- Node 0 name—node0-router
- IP address assigned to node 0—12010:2010:201::2/64
- Node 1 name—node1-router
- IP address assigned to node 1—2010:2010:201::3/64
Configuration

To quickly configure a chassis cluster management interface for IPv4, copy the following commands and paste them into the CLI:
To quickly configure a chassis cluster management interface for IPv6, copy the following commands and paste them into the CLI:
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure a chassis cluster management interface for IPv4:
- Configure the name of node 0 and assign an IP address.{primary:node0}[edit]user@host# set groups node0 system host-name node0-routeruser@host# set groups node0 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 10.1.1.1/24
- Configure the name of node 1 and assign an IP address.{primary:node0}[edit]set groups node1 system host-name node1-router set groups node1 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 10.1.1.2/24
- If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.{primary:node0}[edit]user@host# commit
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure a chassis cluster management interface for IPv6:
- Configure the name of node 0 and assign an IP address.{primary:node0}[edit]user@host# set groups node0 system host-name node0-routeruser@host# set groups node0 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet6 address 2010:2010:201::2/64
- Configure the name of node 1 and assign an IP address.{primary:node0}[edit]user@host# set groups node1 system host-name node1-routeruser@host# set groups node1 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet6 address 2010:2010:201::3/64
- If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.{primary:node0}[edit]user@host# commit
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show groups and show apply-groups commands. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the configuration instructions in this example to correct it.
{primary:node0}[edit]
user@host# show apply-groups
## Last changed: 2010-09-16 11:08:29 UTC apply-groups "${node}";
If you are done configuring the device, enter commit from configuration mode.
Verification
Verifying the Chassis Cluster Management Interface Configuration
Purpose
Verify the chassis cluster management interface configuration.
Action
To verify the configuration is working properly, enter the show config command.
