TX Matrix Plus and T1600 Router (Routing Matrix) Management Ethernet Interfaces

For Juniper Networks TX Matrix Plus Routers and for T1600 Core Routers configured in a routing matrix, the Junos OS automatically creates the router’s management Ethernet interface, em0. To use em0 as a management port, you must configure its logical port, em0.0, with a valid IP address.

When you enter the show interfaces command on a TX Matrix Plus router, the management Ethernet interfaces (and logical interfaces) are displayed:

...
em0
em0.0
...

Note: The Routing Engines in the TX Matrix Plus router and in the T1600 routers configured in a routing matrix do not support the management Ethernet interface fxp0, or the internal Ethernet interfaces fxp1 or fxp2.
