Creating a Configuration File on the T640 Router for Integration
into the Routing Matrix
Using the current T640 router configuration, create a
configuration file on the T640 router that will be merged into the
TX Matrix router configuration:
- Save the T640 router
configuration. For example:
user@host# save t640-config.conf
- As described in Configuration Groups, special configuration groups re0 and re1 apply
to the Routing Engines in slots 0 and 1 of the TX Matrix router.
If the T640 router configuration contains these groups, you must change
them to lcclcc-number-re0 and lcclcc-number-re1, where lcc-number equals the chassis ID of the router.
- If the configuration includes special Routing Engine configuration
groups, include the apply-groups statement at the [edit] hierarchy level. For example:
apply-groups [ lcc0-re0 lcc0-re1 ]
- Change the configuration hierarchy of all statements at
the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level to the [edit chassis lcc lcc-number fpc slot-number] hierarchy
level.
- If the chassis ID of the T640 router is 0, you
do not need to change interface names or the configuration hierarchy
of any other statements. Otherwise, you must modify the FPC number
throughout the configuration based on the chassis ID you select. For
more information, see TX Matrix Interface Names Overview.
- Save the modified T640 router configuration using a different
filename from the one you selected in Step 1. For example:
user@host# save tx-config.conf
 | Note:
Do not commit the configuration. |
- Transfer the modified T640 router configuration to the
TX Matrix router. You can use an intermediate server on the out-of-band management
network accessible by both the T640 router and the TX Matrix
router.
- On an external management device connected to the console or
auxiliary port of the TX-CIP, load the configuration saved in 6. Use the merge option as follows:
user@host# load merge tx-config.conf
- Commit the configuration on both the master and the backup
Routing Engines.
user@host# commit synchronize
 | Note:
If you elect to run different Junos OS releases on the
Routing Engines, or if you want a different configuration on the backup
Routing Engine, issue the commit command without the synchronize option. In either case, you must create a configuration
for the backup Routing Engine. To do this, log in to the backup Routing
Engine and follow the procedure in this section. The TX Matrix
router will copy this configuration to all the backup Routing Engines
in the routing matrix after control is transferred to the TX Matrix
router. |
This is an example of a modified T640 router configuration at
the [group lcc0-re0] hierarchy level:
group lcc0-re0 {system {host-name host-name;backup-router address destination destination-address;}interfaces {fxp0 {unit 0 {family inet {address address/prefix-length}}}}}
