I'm trying to work on a layer 3 vpn lab with vMX 17.1.R1.8. I get this error message when I'm trying to add an interface to a routing instance:
[edit routing-instances VPN_K interface]
'ge-0/0/1.0'
RT Instance: Only loopback interface is supported under vrf routing instances in triton mode.
error: configuration check-out failed
According to the links below the problem is that I have the wrong network service mode configured.

I've changed this to ip as you can see here:
root> show configuration chassis
fpc 0 {
lite-mode;
}
network-services ip;
But, when I do show chassis network-services I still see the mode as ethernet (I have rebooted).
root> show chassis network-services
Network Services Mode: Ethernet
Is being unable to change the network services mode a limitation of vMX or have I done something wrong?
