PTX Series Packet Transport Router Management Ethernet Interfaces
For PTX Series Packet Transport Routers, the Junos OS automatically creates the router’s management Ethernet interface, em0. To use em0 as an out-of-band management port, you must configure its logical port (for example, em0.0) with a valid IP address.
Internal Ethernet interfaces are automatically created to connect the Routing Engines to the Packet Forwarding Engines in the FPCs.
When you enter the show interfaces command on a PTX Series Packet Transport Router, the management Ethernet interface and internal Ethernet interfaces (and logical interfaces) are displayed:
user@host> show interfaces ?... em0 em0.0 ixgbe0 ixgbe0.0 ixgbe1 ixgbe1.0 ...
 | Note: The Routing Engines in the PTX Series Packet Transport Routers do not support the management Ethernet interface fxp0, or the internal Ethernet interfaces fxp1 or fxp2. |
