  • 1.  Configure Virtual Router on SRX

    Posted 12-27-2016 19:52

    Hi everyone,

    I am new to Vitual Router in Junos. I have EX2200 and SRX220. Now its running in default router config - routing options & VPN IPsec... I having plan to create a VR for Operator to config some ports on default router also use VPN and then routing to default SRX router. Anyone have same issue, and how to configure it so i can understand it well.

    Many thanks!

    Thanks Rushi,

     

    I have confuse about user permissions. I want to create an operator user with access privileges that user only can config on VR like super-user but cant config on default router.  is it possible?

    I think the real feature you want is a icense to Logical systems (only on SRX) that create a logical SRX inside the chassis that can easily be sub-managed by a user account.

    With your current setup, the situation is slightly more complicated.  You would need to create a customer user class and then restrict that class to the routing-instance hierarchy as desired.

    An extra note regarding logical systems on SRX. This is only supported by highend SRX platforms (SRX1400/3400/3600/5000 series) -not branch (srx100/200/300/550/650) series and SRX4100/4200.

     

    From what I see, logical systems on SRX will not be a good longterm solution as virtualisation of the SRX is solved with vSRX instead of logical systems in large physical devices.

    Hi Folks,
    To add.. there are differences between instance type virtual-router and Logical System deployments.

     

    With Logical System configuration the box will spin individual rpd daemon for every LS uniquely. Which is not the case with addition of routing-instance with type virtual-router in the box.
