Understanding Active/Passive Chassis Cluster Deployment
In this case, a single device in the cluster is used to route all traffic while the other device is used only in the event of a failure (see Figure 1). When a failure occurs, the backup device becomes primary and controls all forwarding.
An active/passive chassis cluster can be achieved by using redundant Ethernet interfaces (reths) that are all assigned to the same redundancy group. If any of the interfaces in an active group in a node fails, the group is declared inactive and all the interfaces in the group fail over to the other node.
This configuration minimizes the traffic over the fabric link because only one node in the cluster forwards traffic at any given time.

Example: Configuring an Active/Passive Chassis Cluster on SRX5800 Firewalls
This example shows how to set up basic active/passive chassis clustering on an SRX5800 firewalls.
Requirements
Before you begin:
-
You need two SRX5800 Firewalls with identical hardware configurations, and optionally one MX240 edge router, and one EX8208 Ethernet Switch for sending end to end data traffic.
-
Physically connect the two devices (back-to-back for the fabric and control ports) and ensure that they are the same models.
-
Before the cluster is formed, you must configure control ports for each device, as well as assign a cluster ID and node ID to each device, and then reboot. When the system boots, both the nodes come up as a cluster.
Control port configuration is required for SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 firewalls.
Now the devices are a pair. From this point forward, configuration of the cluster is synchronized between the node members, and the two separate devices function as one device.
Overview
This example shows how to set up basic active/passive chassis clustering on an SRX Series Firewall. The basic active/passive example is the most common type of chassis cluster.
The basic active/passive chassis cluster consists of two devices:
-
One device actively provides routing, firewall, NAT, VPN, and security services, along with maintaining control of the chassis cluster.
-
The other device passively maintains its state for cluster failover capabilities in case the active device becomes inactive.
This active/passive mode example for the SRX5800 Firewall does not describe in detail miscellaneous configurations such as how to configure NAT, security policies, or VPNs. They are essentially the same as they would be for standalone configurations. However, if you are performing proxy ARP in chassis cluster configurations, you must apply the proxy ARP configurations to the reth interfaces rather than the member interfaces because the RETH interfaces hold the logical configurations. See Configuring Proxy ARP for NAT (CLI Procedure). You can also configure separate logical interface configurations using VLANs and trunked interfaces in the SRX5800 Firewall. These configurations are similar to the standalone implementations using VLANs and trunked interfaces.
Figure 2 shows the topology used in this example.

Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy.
To configure a chassis cluster on an SRX Series Firewall:
In cluster mode, the configuration is synchronized over the control link
between the nodes when you execute a commit command. All
commands are applied to both nodes regardless of from which device the
command is configured.
-
Configure both the standalone devices with backup router destination configuration to provide the management access on the backup node after the device is up in cluster mode. The access to the primary node is enabled through the routing on the primary node.

-
Because the SRX5000 Firewall chassis cluster configuration is contained within a single common configuration, to assign some elements of the configuration to a specific member only, you must use the Junos OS node-specific configuration method called groups. The
set apply-groups ${node}command uses the node variable to define how the groups are applied to the nodes; each node recognizes its number and accepts the configuration accordingly. You must also configure out-of-band management on the fxp0 interface of the SRX5000 Firewall using separate IP addresses for the individual control planes of the cluster.Configuring the backup router destination address as x.x.x.0/0 is not allowed.
user@hostA# set groups node0 system host-name hostA user@hostA# set groups node0 system backup-router 10.204.191.254 user@hostA# set groups node0 system backup-router destination 10.0.0.0/8 user@hostA# set groups node0 system backup-router destination 172.16.0.0/16 user@hostA# set groups node0 system backup-router destination 192.168.0.0/16 user@hostA# set groups node0 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 10.204.149.140/18
user@hostB# set groups node1 system host-name hostB user@hostB# set groups node1 system backup-router 10.204.191.254 user@hostB# set groups node1 system backup-router destination 10.0.0.0/8 user@hostB# set groups node1 system backup-router destination 172.16.0.0/16 user@hostB# set groups node1 system backup-router destination 192.168.0.0/16 user@hostB# set groups node1 interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address 10.204.149.142/18
The above groups node0 and node1 configuration is committed, but not applied. Once the device is up in cluster, these commands are applied using
set apply-groups “${node}”. -
Configure the control port for each device, and commit the configuration.
Ensure to have the physical control link connection between the SPC cards on both the nodes as per the configuration.
The control ports are derived based on the SPC location in the chassis and offset value is based on the platform. In the below example the SPC is present in revenue slot 1 and because offset of SRX5800 is 12, the control ports are 1, 13. You can view the Offset value for particular platform using
“jwhoami -c”command in shell mode.You must enter the following commands on both devices. For example:-
On node 0:
user@hostA# set chassis cluster control-ports fpc 1 port 0 user@hostA# set chassis cluster control-ports fpc 13 port 0 user@hostA# commit
-
On node 1:
user@hostB# set chassis cluster control-ports fpc 1 port 0 user@hostB# set chassis cluster control-ports fpc 13 port 0 user@hostB# commit
-
-
Set the two devices to cluster mode. A reboot is required to enter into cluster mode after the cluster ID and node ID are set. You can cause the system to boot automatically by including the
rebootparameter in the CLI command line. You must enter the operational mode commands on both devices. For example:-
On node 0:
user@hostA> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 0 reboot
-
On node 1:
user@hostB> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 1 reboot
The cluster ID must be the same on both devices in a cluster, but the node ID must be different because one device is node 0 and the other device is node 1. The range for the cluster ID is 1 through 255. Setting a cluster ID to 0 is equivalent to disabling a cluster. But it is recommended to use
set chassis cluster disableto break the nodes from cluster. -
-
Use the following commands to configure the node 0, which is primary. The node 1 is unreachable till the node configuration is committed. The node 0 will automatically sync the configuration through the control port to node 1 and it is not required to explicitly configure node 1.
user@hostA# delete apply-groups re0 user@hostA# set apply-groups “${node}” -
Configure redundancy groups for chassis clustering. Each node has interfaces in a redundancy group where interfaces are active in active redundancy groups (multiple active interfaces can exist in one redundancy group). Redundancy group 0 controls the control plane and redundancy group 1+ controls the data plane and includes the data plane ports. For this active/passive mode example, only one chassis cluster member is active at a time so you need to define redundancy groups 0 and 1 only. Besides redundancy groups, you must also define:
-
Redundant Ethernet groups—Configure how many redundant Ethernet interfaces (member links) will be active on the device so that the system can allocate the appropriate resources for it.
-
Priority for control plane and data plane—Define which device has priority (for chassis cluster, high priority is preferred) for the control plane, and which device is preferred to be active for the data plane.
-
In active/passive or active/active mode, the control plane (redundancy group 0) can be active on a chassis different from the data plane (redundancy group 1+ and groups) chassis. However, for this example we recommend having both the control and data plane active on the same chassis member. When traffic passes through the fabric link to go to another member node, latency is introduced (z line mode traffic).
-
On SRX Series Firewalls (SRX5000 line), the IPsec VPN is not supported in active/active chassis cluster configuration (that is, when there are multiple RG1+ redundancy groups) in Z mode.
-
user@hostA# set chassis cluster reth-count 2 user@hostA# set chassis cluster redundancy-group 1 node 0 priority 254 user@hostA# set chassis cluster redundancy-group 1 node 1 priority 1 user@hostA# set chassis cluster redundancy-group 0 node 0 priority 254 user@hostA# set chassis cluster redundancy-group 0 node 1 priority 1
-
-
Configure the fabric (data) ports of the cluster that are used to pass RTOs in active/passive mode. For this example, use one of the revenue ports. Define two fabric interfaces, one on each chassis, to connect together.
Configure the data interfaces on the platform so that in the event of a data plane failover, the other chassis cluster member can take over the connection seamlessly. Seamless transition to a new active node will occur with data plane failover. In case of control plane failover, all the daemons are restarted on the new node thus enabling a graceful restart to avoid losing neighborship with peers (ospf, bgp). This promotes a seamless transition to the new node without any packet loss.
You must define the following items:
-
Define the membership information of the member interfaces to the reth interface.
-
Define which redundancy group the reth interface is a member of. For this active/passive example, it is always 1.
-
Define reth interface information such as the IP address of the interface.

-
(Optional) Configure the chassis cluster behavior in case of a failure. For the SRX5800 Firewall, the failover threshold is set at 255. You can alter the weights to determine the impact on the chassis failover. You must also configure control link recovery. The recovery automatically causes the secondary node to reboot should the control link fail, and then come back online. Enter these commands on node 0.

The rest of this procedure describes how to configure the zone, virtual router, routing, EX8208 Core Switch, and MX240 Edge Router to complete the deployment scenario.
-
(Optional) Configure and connect the reth interfaces to the appropriate zones and virtual routers. For this example, leave the reth0 and reth1 interfaces in the default virtual router inet.0, which does not require any additional configuration.

Example: Configuring an Active/Passive Chassis Cluster Pair (SRX1500 or SRX1600)
This example shows how to configure active/passive chassis clustering for SRX1500 or SRX1600 device.
Requirements
Before you begin:
Physically connect a pair of devices together, ensuring that they are the same models.
Create a fabric link by connecting a Gigabit Ethernet interface on one device to another Gigabit Ethernet interface on the other device.
Create a control link by connecting the control port of the two SRX1500 devices.
Connect to one of the devices using the console port. (This is the node that forms the cluster.) and set the cluster ID and node number.
user@host> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 0 reboot
Connect to the other device using the console port and set the cluster ID and node number.
user@host> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 1 reboot
Overview
In this example, a single device in the cluster is used to route all traffic, and the other device is used only in the event of a failure. (See Figure 3.) When a failure occurs, the backup device becomes primary and controls all forwarding.
You can create an active/passive chassis cluster by configuring redundant Ethernet interfaces (reths) that are all assigned to the same redundancy group. This configuration minimizes the traffic over the fabric link because only one node in the cluster forwards traffic at any given time.
In this example, you configure group (applying the configuration
with the apply-groups command) and chassis cluster information.
Then you configure security zones and security policies. See Table 1 through Table 4.

Understanding Active/Passive Chassis Cluster Deployment with an IPsec Tunnel
In this case, a single device in the cluster terminates in an IPsec tunnel and is used to process all traffic while the other device is used only in the event of a failure (see Figure 4). When a failure occurs, the backup device becomes primary and controls all forwarding.
An active/passive chassis cluster can be achieved by using redundant Ethernet interfaces (reths) that are all assigned to the same redundancy group. If any of the interfaces in an active group in a node fails, the group is declared inactive and all the interfaces in the group fail over to the other node.
This configuration provides a way for a site-to-site IPsec tunnel to terminate in an active/passive cluster where a redundant Ethernet interface is used as the tunnel endpoint. In the event of a failure, the redundant Ethernet interface in the backup SRX Series Firewall becomes active, forcing the tunnel to change endpoints to terminate in the new active SRX Series Firewall. Because tunnel keys and session information are synchronized between the members of the chassis cluster, a failover does not require the tunnel to be renegotiated and all established sessions are maintained.
In case of RG0 (routing engine) failure, the routing protocols need to re-establish on the new Primary node. If VPN monitoring or Dead-peer-detection is configured, and its timer expires before the routing reconverges on new RG0 Primary, then VPN tunnel will be brought down and renegotiated.
Dynamic tunnels cannot load-balance across different SPCs.

This example shows how to configure active/passive chassis clustering with an IPsec tunnel for SRX Series Firewalls.
Requirements
Before you begin:
Get two SRX5000 models with identical hardware configurations, one SRX1500 or SRX1600 device, and four EX Series Ethernet switches.
Physically connect the two devices (back-to-back for the fabric and control ports) and ensure that they are the same models. You can configure both the fabric and control ports on the SRX5000 line.
Set the two devices to cluster mode and reboot the devices. You must enter the following operational mode commands on both devices, for example:
On node 0:
user@host> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 0 reboot
On node 1:
user@host> set chassis cluster cluster-id 1 node 1 reboot
The cluster ID is the same on both devices, but the node ID must be different because one device is node 0 and the other device is node 1. The range for the cluster ID is 1 through 255. Setting a cluster ID to 0 is equivalent to disabling a cluster.
Cluster ID greater than 15 can only be set when the fabric and control link interfaces are connected back-to-back.
Get two SRX5000 models with identical hardware configurations, one SRX1500 edge router, and four EX Series Ethernet switches.
Physically connect the two devices (back-to-back for the fabric and control ports) and ensure that they are the same models. You can configure both the fabric and control ports on the SRX5000 line.
From this point forward, configuration of the cluster is synchronized between the node members and the two separate devices function as one device. Member-specific configurations (such as the IP address of the management port of each member) are entered using configuration groups.
Overview
In this example, a single device in the cluster terminates in an IPsec tunnel and is used to process all traffic, and the other device is used only in the event of a failure. (See Figure 5.) When a failure occurs, the backup device becomes primary and controls all forwarding.
In this example, you configure group (applying the configuration
with the apply-groups command) and chassis cluster information.
Then you configure IKE, IPsec, static route, security zone, and security
policy parameters. See Table 5 through Table 11.
