SRX

Hi Experts

I am running 2 SRX240s in cluster mode.

In the configuration below I can see the warning "Warning: 'node' is deprecated".

Is it normal to have this warning ? As I am not seeing this warning in SRX3600 chassis cluster configuration.

Why this warning is coming and how can we avaoid it?

SRX240-002# run show configuration chassis cluster
reth-count 3;
node 0; ## Warning: 'node' is deprecated
node 1; ## Warning: 'node' is deprecated
redundancy-group 0 {
    node 0 priority 129;
    node 1 priority 128;
}
redundancy-group 1 {
    node 0 priority 129;
    node 1 priority 128;
    preempt;
    interface-monitor {
        ge-0/0/8 weight 255;
        ge-5/0/8 weight 255;
        ge-0/0/15 weight 255;
        ge-5/0/15 weight 255;
    }
}
redundancy-group 2 {
    node 0 priority 128;
    node 1 priority 129;
    preempt;
    interface-monitor {
        ge-0/0/7 weight 255;            
        ge-5/0/7 weight 255;
    }
}

What version of Junos are you running?  You can most likely safely delete those lines from the configuration.  They are no longer relavent / needed.

From config mode:

delete chassis cluster node 0

delete chassis cluster node 1

HI

I am using  [10.4R1.9].

You were right . Those lines are no longer needed.

I was observing those lines in both nodes (node 0 and node 1) and I deleted those lines separately from each of those nodes. And now I dont see any warnings.

From config mode:

delete chassis cluster node 0

delete chassis cluster node 1

Thanks

Hi Ahmed,

The "newer" way to accomplish this is by using groups. You set your node-specific configurations in group statements, and then apply the groups with a variable which will differentiate and apply the configuration for each node to that node.

Here is an example of how you would do this:

groups {
    node0 {
        system {
            host-name fw1;
            backup-router 10.1.1.1 destination 5.5.5.5/32;
         
        }
        interfaces {
            fxp0 {
                unit 0 {
                    family inet {
                        address 10.1.1.2/24;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    node1 {
        system {
            host-name fw2;
            backup-router 10.1.1.1 destination 5.5.5.5/32;
         
        }
        interfaces {
            fxp0 {
                unit 0 {
                    family inet {
                        address 10.1.1.3/24;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
apply-groups "${node}";
