Step 1: 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 groups 
Configure the group:
[edit groups]
user@host# set group-name
For example:
[edit groups] 
user@host# set re0
To configure the management interface, go to the following hierarchy level:
[edit groups]
user@host# edit groups re0
Include the following statement:
[edit groups re0]
user@host# set interfaces interface-name unit unit family inet address 
address
For example:
[edit groups re0]
user@host# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 1.1.1.1/24 
To configure the hostname, go to the following hierarchy level:
[edit groups re0]
user@host# edit groups re0 system
Include the following statement:
[edit groups re0 system]
user@host# set host-name hostname
For example:
[edit groups re0 system]
user@host# set host-name foo-re0 
Verify the configuration:
[edit groups re0]
user@host# show 
re0 {
    system {
        host-name foo-re0;
    }
    interfaces {
        fxp0 {
            unit 0 {
                family inet {
                    address 1.1.1.1/24;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
Commit the configuration:
user@host# commit
Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for the re1 group.
What It Means

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.
