Basic Configuration of the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM
To enable the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM installed on the SRX Series Services Gateway, you must configure its properties. You can perform configuration tasks using J-Web, the Point and Click CLI, or the CLI. In addition, you can configure a wide variety of options that are not encountered frequently.
Using J-Web
To perform basic configuration for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM and to configure network interfaces for the services gateway with J-Web:
- In J-Web, select Configure>Interfaces.
The Interfaces page lists the network interfaces present on the services gateway. Verify whether the interface has been configured by reviewing the information in the Configured column (yes/no).
- Select the interface name to edit.
- To use the port on the XPIM, you must assign it
to a security zone other than the Null zone. Optionally, you can also
assign the port an IP address (for example, 192.168.3.1/24). Enter or select the following settings:
- Select Configure>Security>Zones.
- Add or select a security zone other than Null; for example, Trust.
- For host inbound traffic, set the following:
- System Services=Allow All
- Protocols=Allow All
- Click OK, and click Commit to apply the configuration and other pending changes (if any).
- To use the port on the XPIM, you must also set
security policies. Select the following settings:
- Select Configure>Security>Policy>FW Policies.
- Set Policy Action: Default Policy Action=Permit-All.
- Click OK to save changes, and click Commit to apply the configuration and other pending changes (if any).
![]() | Note: You cannot configure the mode and speed options for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM using J-Web. You must either use the Point and Click CLI or the CLI to configure them. |
For advanced configuration information, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
Using the Point and Click CLI to Set Interface Mode and Speed Options
To set the interface mode and speed options for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM with the Point and Click CLI:
- From the J-Web main menu, select Configure>CLI Tools>CLI Tools>Point and Click CLI.
- Next to Interfaces, click Configure or Edit. The Interfaces page displays.
- Click the Interface name or click Edit. The details page for the specified interface appears.
- To set the mode for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet
XPIM, select either fiber or copper from the Mode drop-down list box.

Note: By default, interfaces run in fiber mode at 10 G speed with autonegotiation.
- To set the speed for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet
XPIM, select 10m, 100m, 1g, or 10g, from the Speed drop-down
list box.

Note: For copper ports, all 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 G, and 10 G speeds are supported; for fiber ports, only 1 G and 10 G speeds are supported.
- Click OK to save changes, and click Commit to apply the configuration and other pending changes (if any).
For advanced configuration information, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
Using the CLI
To perform basic configuration for the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM and to configure network interfaces for the services gateway with the CLI:
- Verify that the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM is installed
on the services gateway:
show chassis hardware
- Verify the FPC status of the interface:
show chassis fpc
- Assign the port an IP address:
set interfaces xe-2/0/0 unit 0 family inet address interface address/destination prefix

Note: The interface xe-2/0/0 is the correct configuration if the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM is installed in slot 2. If the 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPIM is installed in slot 6, then the correct interface configuration would be xe-6/0/0
- Assign MTU values:
set interfaces xe-2/0/0 unit 0 family inet mtu mtu values
- Set link options:
set interfaces xe-2/0/0 gigether-options802.3ad/auto-negotiation/ loopback
- Add or select a security zone; for example, Trust:
set security zones security-zone trust interfaces xe-2/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services all
- Add or select security zones for host inbound traffic:
set security zones security-zone trust interfaces xe-2/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic protocols all
- Set security policies:
set security policies default-policy permit-all
- Set operating mode, for example, copper:
set interfaces xe-2/0/0 media-type copper

Note: By default, interfaces run in fiber mode at 10 G speed with autonegotiation.
- Set interface speed, for example, 10 G:
set interfaces xe-2/0/0 speed 10g

Note: For copper ports, all 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 G, and 10 G speeds are supported; for fiber ports, only 1 G and 10 G speeds are supported.
