What platform is this? If its an MX, you can change the encapsulation of the physical interface to "flexible-ethernet-services" and then you can add a unit with family inet on it.

Everything already had two connections to its upstream etc, but they are in the form of trunks. Junos won't let me add a unit when there is already a unit set as ethernet switching and port mode trunk. Is there any way I can create an addressable interface just for point to point ospf neighbor relationships, and maintain my ethernet trunks? What I don't want to do is run additional cables between everything. I already run two uplinks from every access switch into my core switches. I don't want to make a giant vlan and put all the devices loopbacks in it, one for scalability issues but also for broadcast related issues. I could maybe make private vlans between each link, but again thats bad because I'll eventually run out of tags! This is just me getting creative at this point, lol.
