distribution-profile

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

The distribution-profile option is introduced to give the administrator an option to define a profile to handle tunnels associated with a certain VPN object. If the default profiles such as default-spc3-profile or default-spc2-profile are not selected, a new user-defined profile can be created. In a profile, you should mention the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) slot and the PIC slot. When this profile is associated with a VPN object, all matching tunnels will be distributed across these PICs. The thread-id is an optional value. If you specify a thread ID, then the tunnel is distributed in the specified thread.

Starting in Junos OS Release 20.2R1, when you add, change, or delete the thread ID from distribution profile, all tunnels part of modified distribution profile anchored on modified SPU member of distribution profile are teared down and re-negotiated. See Table 1 for catastrophic changes when you change the distribution profile configuration.
