Configuring Logical Systems

To implement logical systems, you must configure the following:

Configuring Logical System Administrators (Master Administrator)

The master administrator can assign one or more logical system administrators to each logical system. Logical system administrators are confined to the context of the logical system(s) to which they are assigned. This means that any global configuration statements are restricted from them. This also means that command output is restricted to the context to which the logical system administrators are assigned.

To configure logical system administrators, include the logical-system logical-system-name statement at the [edit system login class class name] hierarchy level:

[edit]
system {
login {
class admin1 {
permissions all;
logical-system-1;
}
class admin2 {
permissions view; # Gives users assigned to class admin2 the ability to view # but not to change the configuration.
logical-system-2;
}
user user1 {
class logical-system-1;
}
user user2 {
class logical-system-2;
}
}
}

Configuring Interfaces (Master Administrator)

Before adding interfaces to a logical system, the master administrator must configure physical interface properties on the main router. Common physical interface properties include encapsulation types and interface-related options.

To configure physical interface properties, the master administrator must include the statements at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level.

Assigning Logical Interfaces to the Logical System (Master or Logical System Administrator)

After the interfaces are configured, the master administrator can assign logical interfaces to a logical system. To configure, include the unit statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level. Once you assign logical interfaces to a logical system, they are considered part of the logical system. Any logical interface can only be assigned one logical system, including the main router.

[edit]
logical-systems logical-system-name {
interfaces {
interface-name {
logical-interface-statements;
unit unit-number {
family inet {
address ip-address;
}
}
}
}
interfaces {
interface-name {
physical-interface-statements;
}
}
}

Configuring Protocols, Routing, and Policy Statements for the Logical System (Master or Logical System Administrator)

You can configure routing protocols (such as OSPF, BGP, and MPLS), policies (such as next-hop or load-balancing), routing options, and routing instances for a logical system.

To configure routing protocols, include the protocols statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name] hierarchy level. To configure policies, include the policy-options statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name] hierarchy level. To configure routing options, include the routing-options statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name] hierarchy level. To configure routing instances, include the routing-instances statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name] hierarchy level.

[edit]
logical-systems logical-system-name {
protocols {
...
}
policy-options {
...
}
routing-options {
...
}
routing-instances {
...
}
}

Configuring Other Logical System Statements

You can configure a variety of additional statements in conjunction with a logical system:

In addition, you can configure only Frame Relay interface encapsulation on a logical tunnel interface when it is configured with an IPv6 address.
