Configure the New Group
Purpose
Each re0 or re1 group typically contains, at a minimum, the configuration for the hostname and the management interface (fxp0). If each Routing Engine uses a different management interface, the group must also contain the configuration for the backup router and static routes.
Action
To configure the re0 and re1 groups, follow these steps:
In configuration mode, go to the following hierarchy level:
[edit]user@host# edit groupsConfigure the group:
[edit groups]user@host# set group-nameFor example:
[edit groups]user@host# set re0To configure the management interface, go to the following hierarchy level:
[edit groups]user@host# edit groups re0Include the following statement:
[edit groups re0]user@host# set interfaces interface-name unit unit family inet address addressFor example:
[edit groups re0]user@host# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 1.1.1.1/24To configure the hostname, go to the following hierarchy level:
[edit groups re0]user@host# edit groups re0 systemInclude the following statement:
[edit groups re0 system]user@host# set host-name hostnameFor example:
[edit groups re0 system]user@host# set host-name foo-re0Verify the configuration:
[edit groups re0]user@host# showre0 {system {host-name foo-re0;}interfaces {fxp0 {unit 0 {family inet {address 1.1.1.1/24;}}}}}Commit the configuration:
user@host# commitRepeat Step 1 through Step 8 for the re1 group.
Meaning
The sample output in Step 7 shows that the re0 group contains the minimum configuration for a group, the hostname, and the management interface (fxp0). If each Routing Engine uses a different management interface, the group must also contain the configuration for the backup router and static routes.
