Accessing the Virtual Chassis Through the Management Interface

28
The management Ethernet interface (
an out-of-band management interface, also referred to as a management port, that
enables you to use Telnet or SSH to access and manage the device remotely. You typically
configure the management interface with an IP address and prefix length when you first
install Junos OS.
You can configure a management Ethernet interface in one of two ways to access a
Virtual Chassis:
To access the Virtual Chassis as a whole, configure a consistent IP address for the
management interface using the
IP address to consistently access the master (primary) Routing Engine in the master
router or switch (protocol master) for the Virtual Chassis.
To access a specific Routing Engine in an individual member router or switch of the
Virtual Chassis, configure an IP address for one of the following configuration groups:
member0-re0
member0-re1
member1-re0
member1-re1
BEST PRACTICE:
access the Virtual Chassis as a whole through a consistent management IP
address. For troubleshooting purposes, however, accessing a specific Routing
Engine in an individual member router or switch may be useful.
To access a Virtual Chassis through the management Ethernet interface, do one of the
following:
Configure a consistent management IP address that accesses the entire Virtual Chassis
through the master Routing Engine in the Virtual Chassis master router or switch.
{master:member0-re0}[edit]
user@host# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address ip-address/prefix-length
master-only
For example, to access the entire Virtual Chassis via management IP address
10.4.5.33/16 :
{master:member0-re0}[edit]
user@host# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 10.4.5.33/16 master-only
Configure a management IP address that accesses a specified Routing Engine in an
individual member router or switch in the Virtual Chassis.
