Example: Next Gen Services Inter-Chassis Stateful High Availability for NAT and Stateful Firewall (MX-SPC3)
This example shows how to configure Next Gen Services inter-chassis high availability for stateful firewall and NAT services.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Two MX480 routers with MX-SPC3 services cards
Junos OS Release 19.3R2, 19.4R1 or later
Overview
Two MX 3D routers are identically configured to facilitate stateful failover for firewall and NAT services in case of a chassis failure.
Configuration
To configure inter-chassis high availability for this example, perform these tasks:
- CLI Quick Configuration
- Configuring Interfaces for Chassis 1.
- Configure Routing Information for Chassis 1
- Configuring NAT and Stateful Firewall for Chassis 1
- Configuring the Service Set
- Configuring Interfaces for Chassis 2
- Configure Routing Information for Chassis 2
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example on the routers, copy the following commands and paste them into the router terminal window after removing line breaks and substituting interface information specific to your site.
Note:
The following configuration is for chassis 1.
