Adding Virtual Router Objects

Use the following configuration statements to add a virtual router:

shared network device name virtual-router name {
sae-connection [ sae-connection ...];
snmp-read-community snmp-read-community ;
snmp-write-community snmp-write-community ;
scope [ scope ...];
tracking-plug-in [ tracking-plug-in ...];
}

To add a virtual router:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statements for virtual routers. You must specify the name of a device with lowercase characters. This sample procedure uses proxy_device as the name of the router object. For third-party devices, use the name default for the virtual router.
    user@host# edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default
  2. Specify the addresses of SAEs that can manage this router. This step is required for the SAE to work with the router.
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set sae-connection [ sae-connection ...]

    To specify the active SAE and the redundant SAE, enter an exclamation point (!) after the hostname or IP address of the connected SAE. For example:

    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set sae-connection [sae1! sae2!]
  3. (Optional) Specify an SNMP community name for SNMP read-only operations for this virtual router.
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set snmp-read-community snmp-read-community
  4. (Optional) Specify an SNMP community name for SNMP write operations for this virtual router.
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set snmp-write-community snmp-write-community
  5. (Optional) Specify service scopes assigned to this virtual router. The scopes are available for subscribers connected to this virtual router for selecting customized versions of services.
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set scope [ scope ...]
  6. (Optional) Specify the plug-ins that track interfaces that the SAE manages on this virtual router.
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default]
    user@host# set tracking-plug-in [ tracking-plug-in ...]
  7. (Optional) Verify your configuration. 
    [edit shared network device proxy_device virtual-router default] 
user@host# show 
sae-connection 10.8.221.45;
snmp-read-community ********;
snmp-write-community ********;
scope POP-Toronto;
tracking-plug-in flexRadius;
