Example: Configuring Tunnel Interfaces on the MPC3E

Requirements for Configuration of Tunnel Interfaces on the MPC3E

This example requires MX Series routers with the MPC3E.

Ethernet Tunnel Configuration Overview

MX Series routers do not support Tunnel Services PICs. However, you can create one set of tunnel interfaces per pic slot up to a maximum of 4 slots from 0-3 on MX Series routers with the MPC3E.

To configure the tunnels, include the tunnel-services statement and an optional bandwidth of (1g | 10g | 20g | 30g | 40g) at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.

Note: When no tunnel bandwidth is specified, the tunnel interface can have a maximum bandwidth of up to 60Gbps.

Note: A MIC need not be plugged in to the MPC3E to configure a tunnel interface.

Configuring a 20-Gigabit Ethernet Tunnel

Step-by-Step Procedure

In the following example, you create tunnel interfaces on PIC-slot 1 of MPC 0 with 20 gigabit per second of bandwidth reserved for tunnel traffic. With this configuration, the tunnel interfaces created are gr-0/1/0, pe-0/1/0, pd-0/1/0, vt-0/1/0, and so on.

  1. To create a 20 gigabit per second tunnel interface, use the following configuration:
    [edit chassis]
    fpc 0 pic 1 {tunnel-services {bandwidth 20g;}}

Configuring a Tunnel With Unspecified Bandwidth

Step-by-Step Procedure

In the following example, you create a tunnel interface on PIC-slot 3 of MPC 0 with no bandwidth specified. The tunnel traffic can carry up to a maximum of 60Gbps depending on other trafiic through the packet forwarding engine. With this configuration, the tunnel interfaces created are gr-0/3/0, pe-0/3/0, pd-0/3/0, vt-0/3/0, and so on.

  1. To create a tunnel interface with no bandwidth specification, use the following configuration:
    [edit chassis]
    fpc 0 pic 3 {tunnel-services;}
