Layer 2 Learning and Forwarding in a Logical System Overview

You can partition a single physical router into multiple logical devices called logical systems that perform independent routing tasks. Logical systems perform a subset of the actions of a physical router and have their own unique routing tables, interfaces, policies, and routing instances. On MX Series routers only, you can enable Layer 2 learning and forwarding in a logical system for bridge domains or other virtual-switch routing instances.

When enabling Layer 2 learning and forwarding in a logical system for bridge domains or other virtual-switch routing instances, the following guidelines apply:

  • You can only configure 16  logical systems.
  • Logging is performed for the entire device and not per logical system.
  • You cannot restart Layer 2 learning for an individual logical system.
