SRX

Hi,

I have a SRX650 in production but I need a 2XE PIM (SRX-GP-2XE-SFPPTX ) for one provider. I need to conifgure that XE intefaces to be used as a switch and use the GEinterfaces for distribution. It's possible?

Thanks.

Any?

I guess its possible , i have to chek on my lab.

Sorry , its not possible please find the details in more:

Ethernet switching is not supported on SRX-GP-2XE-SFPP-TX cards. This implies that any configuration, which requires that family ethernet-switching be configured, is not supported on these interfaces. For example, configuring the switching fabric interface (swfab).

Ethernet-switching in chassis cluster is supported on SRX from 11.1. To ensure that Layer 2 switching works seamlessly across chassis cluster nodes, a dedicated physical link to connect the nodes is required. This type of link is termed as a switching fabric interface (swfab). The configuration of swfab on SRX-GP-2XE-SFPP-TX will not work and is not supported. If it is configured on the interfaces of XPIM, you will see the ethernet switching status as down:

root@srx> show chassis cluster ethernet-switching interfaces 
swfab0:

    Name               Status      
    xe-3/0/1           up         
swfab1:

    Name               Status      
    xe-12/0/1          up

    node1                   1           secondary      no       no  

Ethernet switching status:
    Probe state is DOWN. Both nodes are in separate ethernet switching domain(s).
