Example: Configuring the JCS1200 Platform as a Route Reflector
In this configuration example, a T640 router and four Routing Engines on the JCS1200 platform are configured for route reflection.
Requirements
This configuration example requires the following hardware and software components:
- Junos OS Release 9.5 or later
- One JCS1200 platform with Routing Engines in slots 1, 2, 3, and 4
- One T640 router with FPCs in slots 0, 1, and 2
Overview and Topology
Figure 1: Example: Route Reflection

Figure 1 shows a T640 router (T-route) and four Routing Engines (RR, R1, R2, and R3) on the JCS1200 chassis (bcg) configured for route reflection.
Each router is configured as a separate PSD. Each PSD has an associated Routing Engine assigned on the JCS chassis and an associated FPC assigned on the T640 router. Table 1 provides the chassis parameters required for the JCS1200 platform and for the T640 router for each PSD.
Table 1: Chassis Parameters for Route Reflection
Router | PSD | JCS 1200 Platform | T640 Routing Node |
|---|---|---|---|
Route Reflector (RR) | PSD15 | Routing Engine in slot 1 (bcgcpu1) | (No FPC required) |
Router 1 (R1) | PSD11 | Routing Engine in slot 2 (bcgcpu2) | FPC in slot 1 (FPC1) |
Router 2 (R2) | PSD12 | Routing Engine in slot 3 (bcgcpu3) | FPC in slot 2 (FPC2) |
Router 3 (R3) | PSD13 | Routing Engine in slot 3 (bcgcpu4) | FPC in slot 0 (FPC0) |
Configuration
The configuration of route reflection is described in the following sections:
- JCS1200 Configuration
- RSD Configuration
- PSD15 Configuration (Route Reflector)
- PSD11 Configuration (Router 1)

JCS1200 Configuration
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure the parameters required for Routing Engines in the JCS chassis:
- Log in to the JCS management module CLI.
- Configure the Routing Engine that is part of PSD15.
This Routing Engine is located in slot 1 of the JCS chassis
and acts as the route reflector.
To configure the Routing Engine in slot 1, issue the following command:
system> baydata -b 01 -data “V01–JCS1–SD2–PSD15–REP01–REB00–PRDSCE”The baydata command specifies the target as a bay blade (-b), identifies the Routing Engine (blade) in slot 01, and specifies the following parameters:
- V01—Product version, which is 01.
- JCS1—JCS platform identifier, which is 1.
- SD2—RSD identifier, which is 2.
- PSD15—PSD identifier, which is 15.
- REP01—Slot in which the primary Routing Engine resides, which is 01.
- REB00—Slot in which the backup Routing Engine resides. 00 indicates that there is no backup Routing Engine.
- PRDSCE—Juniper Networks router product. There is a special product type for the route reflector: Standalone Control Element (SCE).
- Configure the Routing Engine that is part
of PSD11 This Routing Engine is located in slot 2 of the
JCS chassis and acts as standalone router (not a route reflector).
To configure the Routing Engine in slot 2, issue the following command:
system> baydata -b 02 -data “V01–JCS1–SD1–PSD11–REP02–REB00–PRDT640”The baydata command specifies the target as a bay blade (-b), identifies the blade (Routing Engine) in slot 02, and specifies the following parameters:
- V01—Product version, which is 01.
- JCS1—JCS platform identifier, which is 1.
- SD1—RSD identifier, which is 1. This router is in SD1, the route reflector is in SD2.
- PSD11—PSD identifier, which is 11.
- REP02—Slot in which the primary Routing Engine resides, which is 02.
- REB00–Slot in which the backup Routing Engine resides. 00 indicates that there is no backup Routing Engine.
- PRDT640—Juniper Networks router product, which is the T640 router.
- Configure the Routing Engine that is part
of PSD12. This Routing Engine is located in slot 3 of the
JCS chassis and acts as standalone router (not a route reflector).
To configure the Routing Engine in slot 3, issue the following command:
system> baydata -b 03 -data “V01–JCS1–SD1–PSD12–REP03–REB00–PRDT640”The baydata command specifies the target as a bay blade (-b), identifies the blade (Routing Engine) in slot 03, and specifies the following parameters:
- V01—Product version, which is 01.
- JCS1—JCS platform identifier, which is 1.
- SD1—RSD identifier, which is 1. This router is in SD1, the route reflector is in SD2.
- PSD12—PSD identifier, which is 12.
- REP03—Slot in which the primary Routing Engine resides, which is 03.
- REB00–Slot in which the backup Routing Engine resides. 00 indicates that there is no backup Routing Engine.
- PRDT640—Juniper Networks router product, which is the T640 router.
- Configure the Routing Engine that is part
of PSD13. This Routing Engine is located in slot 4 of the
JCS chassis and acts as standalone router (not a route reflector).
To configure the Routing Engine in slot 4, issue the following command:
system> baydata -b 04 -data “V01–JCS1–SD1–PSD13–REP04–REB00–PRDT640”The baydata command specifies the target as a bay blade (-b), identifies the blade (Routing Engine) in slot 04, and specifies the following parameters:
- V01—Product version, which is 01.
- JCS1—JCS platform identifier, which is 1.
- SD1—RSD identifier, which is 1. This router is in SD1, the route reflector is in SD2.
- PSD13—PSD identifier, which is 13.
- REP04—Slot in which the primary Routing Engine resides, which is 04.
- REB00–Slot in which the backup Routing Engine resides. 00 indicates that there is no backup Routing Engine.
- PRDT640—Juniper Networks router product, which is the T640 router.

Results
Display the results of the configuration:
The RSD configuration on the T640 router does not include a root-domain-id 2 statement for domain 2 (the route reflector domain) or any protected-system-domains PSD15 statements for the route reflector PSD. This is because the route reflector is self-contained within the JCS chassis and does not require configuration on the T640 router.
