Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description
Configure interfaces on EX Series switches.
Most standard Junos OS configuration statements are available in Junos OS for EX Series switches. This topic lists standard Junos OS statements that you commonly use when configuring interfaces on EX Series switches as well as statements that are used to configure only switch interfaces; it does not list all of the possible interface configuration statements for each interface.
For information about additional standard Junos OS statements that you can configure on interfaces, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/index.html.
Options
See Table 1 for the interface types and protocol-family options supported on the switch. Different protocol families support different subsets of the interface types on the switch. See the family statement for syntax of the protocol families supported for switch interfaces.
Not all interface types support all family substatements. Check your switch CLI for supported substatements for a particular protocol family configuration.
