Configure Protocol Family and Address
Interface Properties

For each logical interface, you must configure one or more protocol families. You can also configure interface address properties. To do this, you include the following statements:

family family {

    accounting {

        destination-class-usage;

        source-class-usage {

            (input | output | [input output]);

        }

    }

    bundle (ml-fpc/pic/port | ls-fpc/pic/port);

    filter {

        input filter-name;

        output filter-name;

        group filter-group-number;

    }

    ipsec-sa sa-name;

    keep-address-and-control;

    mtu bytes;

    multicasts-only;

    no-asynchronous-notification;

    no-redirects;

    policer { 

        arp policer-template-name;

        input policer-template-name;

        output policer-template-name;

    }

    primary;

    proxy inet-address address;

    remote (inet-address address | mac-address address);

    rpf-check <fail-filter filter-name> {

        <mode loose>;

    }

    sampling {

        [ input output ];

    }

    (translate-discard-eligible | no-translate-discard-eligible);

    (translate-fecn-and-becn | no-translate-fecn-and-becn);

    address address {

        arp ip-address (mac | multicast-mac) mac-address <publish>;

        destination destination-address;

        eui-64;

        broadcast address;

        multipoint-destination destination-address (dlci dlci-identifier | vci vci-identifier);

        multipoint-destination destination-address {

            epd-threshold cells;

            inverse-arp; 

            oam-liveness {

                up-count cells;

                down-count cells;

            }

            oam-period seconds; 

            shaping { 

                (cbr rate | rtvbr peak rate sustained rate burst length |

                              vbr peak rate sustained rate burst length); 

                queue-length number;

            } 

            vci vpi-identifier.vci-identifier; 

        }

        preferred;

        primary;

        vrrp-group group-number {

            virtual-address [ addresses ];

            priority number;

            (accept-data | no-accept-data);

            advertise-interval seconds;

            authentication-type authentication;

            authentication-key key;

            (preempt | no-preempt) {

                hold-time seconds;

            }

            track {

                interface interface-name priority-cost cost;

            }

        }

    }

}

You can configure these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number]

This chapter describes the configuration of the interface protocol and address properties:

• Configure the Protocol Family
• Configure the Interface Address
• Configure an Unnumbered Interface
• Set the Protocol MTU
• Configure Default, Primary, and Preferred Addresses and Interfaces
• Disable the Sending of Redirect Messages on an Interface
• Configure Default, Primary, and Preferred Addresses and Interfaces
• Apply Policers
• Apply a Filter to an Interface
• Configure Unicast RPF
• Enable Source Class and Destination Class Usage
