Configuring Ethernet Ports for Switching

Certain ports on Juniper Networks devices can function as Ethernet access switches that switch traffic at Layer 2 and route traffic at Layer 3.

For information about Ethernet link aggregation for SRX3000 and SRX5000 line devices, see the “Aggregated Ethernet” chapter of the Junos OS Interfaces Configuration Guide for Security Devices.

For information about which devices support the features documented in this chapter, see the Junos OS Feature Support Reference for SRX Series and J Series Devices.
