  • 1.  EX4500 vlan and BGP Configuration

    Posted 04-26-2012 01:10

    Hi ,

    İ am a new person to Junipeer switching  from Cisco. One Costumer , he has two different ISP via Fiber Optic Line. So will configurate two vlan on switch and bgp configuration on EX4500 switch. Is it possible to make  bgp on EX4500 switch ? Is there any default configuration about vlan and bgp.

    Thanks so much.

    Hi Ilyas

    You dont need to do vlans on a juniper to do routing. So we just need to assign a /30 to each fiber link and turn on BGP and it will route. You need 1 AFL per EX4500 or 2 for any size of a vitual chassis. See this section for the routing table size, this type of device will not scale very large because it wasn't meant to serve as a border router.

     

    http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/switching/ex-series/ex4500/#specifications

     

    As you can see there are only 10k routes supported, the current internet size is well over 300k per neighbor being peered with.

     

    switch1> configure

    switch1# set interface ge-0/0/0.0 family inet address 1.1.1.1/30

    switch1# set interface ge-0/0/1.0 family inet address 1.1.1.5/30

     

    Turn on BGP as follows

     

    set protocols bgp group eBGP type external
    set protocols bgp group eBGP log-updown
    set protocols bgp group eBGP damping
    set protocols bgp group eBGP local-as 64741
    set protocols bgp group eBGP graceful-restart
    set protocols bgp group eBGP neighbor 1.1.1.2 local-address 1.1.1.1
    set protocols bgp group eBGP neighbor 1.1.1.2 peer-as 65100
    set protocols bgp group eBGP neighbor 1.1.1.6 local-address 1.1.1.5
    set protocols bgp group eBGP neighbor 1.1.1.6 peer-as 65101

    Thanks so much,

     can you send me a default configuration of vlan. one port will be trunk and allowed only one vlan, one of the lan ports will be access port .

    If you send the configuration, i will be very glad you.

    thanks
