Connecting Dual Fabric Links for Devices in a Chassis Cluster

For all SRX Series and J Series devices, you can connect two fabric links between the two devices, effectively reducing the chance of control link failure.

In most SRX Series devices in a chassis cluster, you can configure any pair of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or any pair of 10-Gigabit interfaces to serve as the fabric between nodes. Interfaces on SRX210 devices are Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet (the paired interfaces must be of a similar type) and all interfaces on SRX100 devices are Fast Ethernet interfaces.

In a J Series chassis cluster, you can configure any pair of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to serve as the fabric between nodes.
