OP wanted to use the IRB ints as next hop for their respective networks. This is apparently not supported on the SRX platform in transparent mode: "In this release, the IRB interface on the SRX Series device does not support traffic forwarding or routing. In transparent mode, packets arriving on a Layer 2 interface that are destined for the device’s MAC address are classified as Layer 3 traffic while packets that are not destined for the device’s MAC address are classified as Layer 2 traffic. Packets destined for the device’s MAC address are sent to the IRB interface. Packets from the device’s routing engine are sent out the IRB interface." So in transparent / IRB mode the IRB int can only be used as a management interface. OP needs to do is MX testing using an MX device. > -- > Regards, > Pavel > _______________________________________________ > juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp -- [stillwa...@gmail.com ~]$ cat .signature cat: .signature: No such file or directory [stillwa...@gmail.com ~]$ _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
