Creating a Configuration File for the Integration of an Operational T1600 Router

Using the current T1600 router configuration, create a configuration file on the operational T1600 router that will be merged into the TX Matrix Plus router configuration:

1. Save the T1600 router configuration. For example:
   
   

   user@host# save T1600-config.conf

   We strongly recommend that you transfer the saved T1600 router configuration to an intermediate server on the out-of-band management network accessible by the T1600 router.

2. The Routing Engines in the TX Matrix Plus router and the T1600 routers in the routing matrix do not support the fxp0 management interface, or the fxp1 and fxp2 internal Ethernet interfaces. References in the configuration file to fxp0, fxp1, or fxp2 must be modified to em0, ixgbe0, and ixgbe1.
3. As described in Configuration Groups, special configuration groups re0 and re1 apply to the Routing Engines in slots 0 and 1 of the TX Matrix Plus router. If the T1600 router configuration contains these groups, you must change them to lcc0-re0 and lcc0-re1.
4. If the configuration includes special Routing Engine configuration groups, include the apply-groups statement at the [edit] hierarchy level. For example:
   apply-groups [ lcc0-re0 lcc0-re1 ]
5. Change the configuration hierarchy of all statements at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level to the [edit chassis lcc lcc-number fpc slot-number] hierarchy level.
6. Save the modified T1600 router configuration. Use a different filename from the one you selected for the saved configuration. For example:
   
   

   user@host# save txp-config.conf

   Caution: Do not commit the configuration.

This is an example of a modified T1600 router configuration at the [group lcc0-re0] hierarchy level:
