Configuring the VDSL2 Interface with the CLI Configuration Editor

To use the CLI configuration editor to configure the VDSL2 network interfaces for SRX210 and SRX240 devices:

  1. Navigate to the top of the interfaces configuration hierarchy in the CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 58.
  3. Commit the configuration once you have completed configuring the device.

Note: The VDSL2 Mini-PIM has backward compatibility with ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+. The VDSL2 interface is represented by the pt interface when configured to function as VDSL2, and the ADSL interface is represented by the at interface when configured to function as ADSL.

Table 58: Configuring the VDSL2 Interface Using the CLI Configuration Editor

Task

CLI Configuration Editor

Description

Navigate to the Interfaces level in the configuration hierarchy.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

edit interfaces pt-1/0/0

Provides a hierarchy level to configure the interface.

Configuring Physical Properties

Configure the type of VDSL2 profiles.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

set interfaces interface name vdsl-options vdsl-profile profile-name

Example

set interfaces pt-1/0/0 vdsl-options vdsl-profile auto

The following profiles are supported:

  • 8a
  • 8b
  • 8c
  • 8d
  • 12a
  • 12b
  • 17a
  • auto (default)
Configuring Logical Properties  

Add the logical interface.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

set interfaces interface name unit unit value

Example:

set interfaces pt-1/0/0 unit 0

Defines one or more logical units that you connect to this physical VDSL interface.

Set a value from 0 through 16385. Add other values if required by your network.

Select the encapsulation for the logical interface.

set interfaces interface name unit unit value encapsulation encapsulation-type

Example:

set interfaces pt-1/0/0 unit 0 encapsulation ppp-over-ether

Specifies the type of encapsulation on the VDSL logical interface.

  • ppp-over-ether—Use this type of encapsulation for PPPoE over VDSL interfaces that carry IPv4 traffic.

Note: The encapsulation type Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is supported for the VDSL2 interface. You can also set no encapsulation for the VDSL2 interface.

Add the Family protocol type—for example, inet.

set interfaces interface name unit unit value family inet

Example:

set interfaces pt-1/0/0 unit 0 family inet

Commands vary depending on the protocol type.

Note: See Configuring ATM-over-ADSL Interfaces for details about configuring the interface when operating in ADSL mode.
