Example: Configuring Switch Fabric Interfaces to Enable Switching in Chassis Cluster Mode (CLI)
This example shows how to configure swfab to enable switching in chassis cluster mode.
Requirements
The physical link used as the switch fabric members must be directly connected. Switching supported ports must be used for swfab interfaces. For SRX650, the swfab member ports must belong to the same GPIM. Members spanning across multiple GPIMs are not supported.
Before you begin, read through the following example to understand the configuration of chassis cluster fabric:
Overview
New pseudointerfaces swfab0 and swfab1 will be created for Layer 2 fabric functionality. Users need to configure dedicated Ethernet ports on each side of the node to be associated with the swfab interface.
Configuration
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure swfab interfaces:
- Configure swfab0 and swfab1 to associate switch fabric
interfaces to enable switching across the nodes. Note that swfab0
corresponds to node 0 and swfab1corresponds to node 1.{primary:node0} [edit]user@host# set interfaces swfab0 fabric-options member-interfaces ge-0/0/6user@host# set interfaces swfab0 fabric-options member-interfaces ge-0/0/7user@host# set interfaces swfab1 fabric-options member-interfaces ge-5/0/6user@host# set interfaces swfab1 fabric-options member-interfaces ge-5/0/7
- If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.{primary:node0} [edit]user@host# commit
Verification
Purpose
Verify that the user will be allowed to configure multiple ports as members of swfab ports.
Action
From configuration mode, enter the show interfaces swfab0 command to view the configured interfaces for each port.
user@host# show interfaces swfab0
fabric-options{
member-interfaces {
ge-0/0/6;
ge-0/0/7;
}
}
From the configuration mode, enter the show chassis cluster ethernet-switching interfaces command to view the appropriate member interfaces.
user@host# show chassis cluster ethernet-switching interfaces
swfab0:
Name Status
ge-0/0/6 up
ge-0/0/7 up
swfab1:
Name Status
ge-5/0/6 up
ge-5/0/7 up
