Configuring Gigabit Ethernet uPIM Switches

When you set a multiport uPIM to switching mode, the uPIM appears as a single entity for monitoring purposes. The only physical port settings that you can configure are autonegotiation, speed, and duplex mode on each uPIM port, and these settings are optional.

Note: You cannot configure switch ports from J-Web Quick Configuration pages. You must use the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.

To configure a multiport Gigabit Ethernet uPIM as a switch:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 111.
  3. If you are finished configuring the router, commit the configuration.
  4. To verify the configuration, see Verifying Gigabit Ethernet uPIM Switch Configuration.

Table 111: Configuring uPIMs as Switches

Task

J-Web Configuration Editor

CLI Configuration Editor

Navigate to the Chassis level of the configuration hierarchy

  1. In the J-Web interface, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration.
  2. Next to Chassis, click Configure.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

edit chassis

Set the uPIM mode of operation to switching.

Note: Routing mode is the default setting.
  1. Next to Fpc, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Slot field, enter the number of the slot of the chassis in which the uPIM is inserted, and click OK.
  3. Next to Pic, click Add new Entry.
  4. Enter 0 in the Slot field. (This number is always 0 on a J-series Services Router.)
  5. Next to Ethernet, click Configure.
  6. From the Pic mode list, choose Switching and click OK.

Enter

set pim pim-number pic 0 ethernet pic-mode switching

(Optional) Set the physical port parameters for each port on the uPIM.

  1. In the J-Web interface, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration.
  2. Next to Interfaces, click Edit.
  3. Click the name of the uPIM interface—for example ge-2/0/0.
  4. Next to Switch options , click Configure.
  5. Next to Switch port, click Add new entry.
  6. In the Port field, enter the number of the port you want to configure.
  7. Choose the settings for Autonegotiation, Link mode, and Speed, and click OK.
  1. From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

    edit interfaces

  2. Configure parameters for each uPIM port that you want to specify:

    ge-pim/0/0 switch-options switch-port port-number (auto-negotiation | no-auto-negotiation) speed (10m | 100m | 1g) link-mode (full-duplex | half-duplex)

    For example: set ge-2/0/0 switch-options switch-port 1 autonegotiation
