Junos OS

I am trying to work with some regular expressions defining interfaces using groups in JUNOS (specifically the EX2200).

 

JUNOS is not recognizing piped regex for some reason. 

 

Here is what works:

 

groups

WIRED_VLAN {
    interfaces {
        "<ge-0/0/[0-9]>" {             
            unit 0 {
                family ethernet-switching {
                    port-mode access;
                    vlan {
                        members WIRED;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Here is what dosn't work:

groups

WIRED_VLAN{

 interfaces {
    "<ge-0/0/[0-9|[1][0-9]|2[0-1]>" {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching {
                port-mode access;
                vlan {
                    members WIRED;
                 }
             }
        }
    }
 }

}

Hi,

you are right, there is a reason 🙂
One is using wildcards and not regex in configuration groups:

Pipe is not allowed here.

Ugh.  So there are a few more configuration gymnastics that I need to do in order to make this work.

 

I see two options:

 

1. use interface-range groups (the downside is the requirement to update code)

2. be more verbose with the config

 

I tried this and it worked but it is obviously not as elegant as what I was trying to achieve.

 

interfaces {
    "<ge-0/0/1[0-9]>" {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching {
                port-mode access;
                vlan {
                    members WIRED;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    "<ge-0/0/2[0-1]>" {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching {
                port-mode access;
                vlan {
                    members WIRED;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    "<ge-0/0/[0-9]>" {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching {
                port-mode access;
                vlan {
                    members WIRED;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
