Configuring the Junos OS to Support the uPIM Mode on J Series Routers
The 6-port, 8-port, and 16-port Gigabit Ethernet uPIMs used on the J Series routers (J2320, J2350, J4350, and J6350) support Layer 2 switching and can forward traffic at both Layer 2 (switching) and Layer 3 (routing). You can configure a uPIM to run in either routing mode (the default) or switching mode.
Routing mode provides the standard routing services. Switching mode allows traffic forwarding at both Layer 2 and Layer 3. At Layer 2, a uPIM can switch intra-LAN traffic from one LAN host to another, such as from one port on a uPIM to another on the same uPIM. At Layer 3, a uPIM can route traffic to WAN interfaces and other PIMs present on the chassis.
To configure the PIM mode, include the following statements at the [edit chassis fpc] hierarchy level:
