With some limitations though. Say you can't enable flexible-ethernet-services on FE interfaces, only on GE. Enabling flexible-vlan-taggin gives you the following warning: "Only compatible with vpls vlan encapsulations" (I haven't ever seen anything like this on MX), etc.
So as far as I understand MX-style L2 config: — for transparent flow mode, — IRB interfaces are for management traffic only, — switching performed in software for branch and I wonder where on Hi-End, — have no idea what happens to it in packet-mode. EX-style L2 config: — for general switching, — performed by broadcom chips, — have consequent limitation applied to ports, between which traffic can be switched (same PIM), — RVI interfaces can really route traffic (software based both in packet and flow modes).

Or, if I'm totally wrong somewhere, please tell me. -- Regards, Pavel _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
