Maintain a Single Configuration File for Both Routing Engines

Purpose

For routers that support multiple Routing Engines, you can specify re0 and re1 as group names to ensure that the correct IP addresses are used for each Routing Engine and to maintain a single configuration file for both Routing Engines. It is important that the names of the Routing Engines correspond to a slot position because the names re0 and re1 are special group names that you must use for the Routing Engines to recognize which configuration statement to use. Routing Engine 0 must be in slot position 0 and must be named re0, and Routing Engine 1 must be in slot position 1 and must be named re1.

Steps to Take

To maintain a single configuration file for both Routing Engines, follow these steps:

1. Configure the New Group
2. Apply the New Group
