Description
Associate a cascade port with an FPC slot ID number in a Junos Fusion.
The FPC slot ID of the satellite device is determined by the value entered as the FPC slot-id. For instance, if the set chassis satellite-management fpc 105 cascade-ports xe-0/0/1 statement is used to configure interface xe-0/0/1 into a cascade port, the satellite device that connects to interface xe-0/0/1 has an FPC slot ID of 105 in the Junos Fusion.
A Junos Fusion provides two methods of assigning an FPC identifier: Unique ID-based FPC identification and connectivity-based FPC identification. Unique ID-based FPC identification maps an FPC slot ID to a satellite device’s MAC address or serial number, while connectivity-based FPC identification maps an FPC slot ID to a cascade port. This statement is used to assign an FPC ID using connectivity-based FPC identification by mapping an FPC slot ID to a cascade port.
In a Junos Fusion, each satellite device must be mapped to an FPC identifier (FPC ID). The FPC ID is used for Junos Fusion configuration, monitoring, and maintenance. Interface names—which are identified using the type-fpc / pic / port format—use the FPC ID as the fpc variable when the satellite device is participating in a Junos Fusion. For instance, built-in port 2—a Gigabit Ethernet interface on a satellite device that is using 101 as it’s FPC ID— uses ge-101/0/2 as its interface name.
For additional information on the role of FPC slot IDs in a Junos Fusion, see Understanding Junos Fusion Provider Edge Components or Understanding Junos Fusion Enterprise Components.
Default
No FPC slot IDs are associated with satellite devices, by default.
