Bill. The 4 x SFP expansion module does NOT "expand" the switch to 28 ports. Instead it "borrows" or steals the last 4 interfaces for use as ge-0/1/x. In earlier versions of JUNOS interfaces ge-0/0/20 - 23 were automatically moved over to ge-0/1/0-3. In 9.5x the the module only "borrows" the ports that have optics in it (so SFP in expansion slot 1 = no more ge-0/020). I think this is poor design (they don't do this for 10GE afaik). So for the privilege of paying for a module to support fiber, you loose copper ports. I hope this helps (please correct me if you find this to be inaccurate). I cannot speak to the oddities in the SNMP walks.

Regards.

I'm experiencing a weird issue with an interface that seems to have vanished. (see below 1.) I also have a general question on how the EX platform indexes interfaces. (see below 2.)

=================================================
1. Vanishing Interface

I have several ex3200's in production and noticed that ge-0/0/20 shows up in the config, but doesn't appear to exist.

ifDescr.166 = STRING: ge-0/1/0

ifDescr.170 = STRING: ge-0/0/23.0


======================================================
2. Indexing question
During the gathering of data for issue 1 above, I ran some walks against other ex3200's I have and noticed that the indexing is not consistent.
Here's another ex3200 running the same code rev as above:
ifDescr.148 = STRING: ge-0/0/18
ifDescr.149 = STRING: ge-0/0/18.0
ifDescr.150 = STRING: ge-0/0/19
ifDescr.151 = STRING: ge-0/0/19.0
ifDescr.152 = STRING: ge-0/0/20
ifDescr.153 = STRING: ge-0/0/20.0
ifDescr.154 = STRING: ge-0/0/21
ifDescr.155 = STRING: ge-0/0/21.0
ifDescr.156 = STRING: ge-0/0/22
ifDescr.157 = STRING: ge-0/0/22.0
ifDescr.158 = STRING: ge-0/0/23
ifDescr.159 = STRING: ge-0/0/23.0
ifDescr.160 = STRING: vlan
ifDescr.163 = STRING: ge-0/0/0
ifDescr.164 = STRING: ge-0/0/0.0
ifDescr.165 = STRING: ge-0/0/1
ifDescr.166 = STRING: ge-0/0/11.69
ifDescr.167 = STRING: ge-0/0/11.70
ifDescr.168 = STRING: ge-0/0/1.0

There seems to be no correlation between the ifDescr seq numbers and the interface names. Now, the switch above has a 4x GE SFP PIC and the one below does not, but I find it strange that interfaces show up all over the place as if they were dynamically populated into a table.
==============================================

Sorry for the length of this post.
Thank you for any input.
