Configuring Static Subscriber Interfaces Using VLAN Demux Interfaces

You can configure a subscriber interface using a statically created VLAN demux interface. This interface can be referenced in a dynamic profile.

1. Configure the VLAN demux interface.

   See Configuring a VLAN Demultiplexing Interface.

2. Configure the underlying interface on which the VLAN demux interface is running.

   See Configuring a VLAN Demux Underlying Interface

3. Specify the underlying interface on which the VLAN demux interface is running.

   See Specifying the Demux Underlying Interface.

4. Specify how ingress IP traffic is to be demultiplexed based on the VLAN ID.

   See Associating VLAN IDs to VLAN Demux Interfaces.

5. Associate the static subscriber interface in a dynamic profile.

   See Associating Dynamic Profiles with Statically Created Interfaces.

Note: VLAN demux interfaces currently support the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) suite (family inet) and the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) suite (family inet6). VLAN demux subscriber interfaces over aggregated Ethernet physical interfaces are supported only for MX Series routers that have only Trio MPCs installed. If the router has other cards in addition to Trio MPCs, the CLI accepts the configuration but errors are reported when the subscriber interfaces are brought up.
