[j-nsp] SRX1400 logical system configuration
Hi all, i'm planning an upgrade to a production SRX cluster, i would like to enable the logical systems on the machines and create a new logical system. Actually the cluster consists in two SRX1400 in an active/passive configuration, no particular or strange things. I'm reading the config guide (Logical Systems Configuration Guide for SecurityDevices) and it seems a pretty straightforward configuration. The only thing i cannot find in the docs is the impact of this configuration in a production machine, what happens when i enable the logical systems funtionality creating a new logical sys ? Can I do this in a production environment or should I plan for some downtime maintenance ? The actual configuration remains in the root logical sys or should i do something to migrate the config to a logical sys aware config ? Any particular/strange caveats regarding the HA config ? (on the docs the only thing i found was regarding the need of different licenses per physical node) thanks ! ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

[j-nsp] Chassis cluster and forwarding performance

Re: [j-nsp] Chassis cluster and forwarding performance
(This is for packet mode J-2350) I've been reading on chassis cluster, and noted that data plane is active/active mode, does that mean double PPS in general? As there is no flow state, there is no need for cluster in packet mode. And it is not supported. In general active/active data plane for JSRP cluster means you can place reth interfaces into different redundant groups, where different nodes are active. There is just no special 'mode' inside JUNOS for active/passive, and it's totally up to you how to group your interfaces and behave when one of them fails. You can attract all traffic to one node or divide it between nodes. Routing a packet between interfaces placed into RG's where different nodes are master requires h-shape forwarding (through the fabric link), that is where double pps occurs. But there is nothing pushing you to route like this. In my opinion, nearly 100% of real-word FW cluster implementations need a single RG1, to which all interfaces belong. This basically means active/passive data plane behavior. An only feasible exception might a kind of multi-tenant scenario where traffic to/from some VLAN's is always passed through a given node. When a failure occurs performance degrades. So you can reach more performance under normal conditions. But I'd say it's not worth it because a 2x hardware overkill is often much cheaper than advanced NOC skills required to maintain and troubleshoot the more complex solution. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Re: [j-nsp] juniper cisco switch interconnection
Here is a quick summary of the JUNOS RSTP/VSTP interop behavior. If you enable RSTP on the Juniper side, and do NOT set any native-vlans on any of the cisco ports connected to juniper, then JUNOS will interop with the cisco RSTP frames sent untagged, and VLAN1 will block correctly. The cisco devices will see each other via PVST on all other VLANs and block those accordingly. If you only enable VSTP on the Juniper side and you define VLAN 1 on the Juniper side with a vlan tag of 1 specified, then bad things happen prior to 12.1r2/12.2 software. This is due to the fact that JUNOS transmits/expects tagged packets for VLAN1 and drops all untagged STP frames. While the cisco device will transmit untagged STP frames to both the STP MAC and the PVST MAC, but both are untagged. So basically the Juniper and the Cisco will not see each other on the wire. With 12.1r2 and 12.2 software, JUNOS will behave similarly to the cisco side, in that it will transmit the VSTP(PVST) frames untagged. If you enable both RSTP and VSTP on the Juniper side and you define VLAN 1 on the Juniper side with a VLAN tag of 1 specified, the behavior is the same as above, as RSTP won't be transmitted out the interface because all VLANs have VLAN-IDs associated with them. Again 12.1r2/12.2 and beyond address this. If you enable RSTP and VSTP on the Juniper side and you define VLAN 1 WITHOUT a VLAN id defined, then all is well, as the Juniper will interoperate with Cisco on all VLANs other than VLAN1 using VSTP/PVST, and it will interoperate with the Cisco on VLAN1 using RSTP. This behavior can be used on all releases prior to 12.1r2/12.2 based on what I've seen in the past. There is a minimum release in which to run RSTP+VSTP, but I don't remember that off the top of my head, probably a low 10.x release.

Re: [j-nsp] juniper cisco switch interconnection
ooh VSTP/PVST+ interop. Boy have we had some fun here over the years.. Cisco PVST+ sends IEEE and Cisco BPDUs on the *native* VLAN and Cisco BPDUs for each VLAN that is tagged on an interface. Juniper VSTP only sends IEEE BPDUs on the native VLAN 1 (or did as of 11.4) but sends Cisco BPDUs for each tagged VLAN. A gotcha to watch out for is if you are using default VLAN in Junos as your native, you need to manually set the VLAN-ID to 1 or the VSTP config will not pick it up: set vlan default vlan-id 1 There is a change in 12.2 regarding something similar to this: VSTP compatibility with Cisco PVST+—When you configure VSTP using the set protocol vstp vlan all configuration mode command, VLAN ID 1 is now excluded, thus making Junos OS VSTP compatible with Cisco PVST+. To include VLAN ID 1 in the VSTP VLAN, you must now add it explicitly using the set protocol vstp vlan 1 configuration mode command. If you're in a pure Juniper environment, you don't need to worry too much though - as long as you have a common native VLAN (or even if you have none) everything generally works pretty well provided you make sure you're not running an EX software version affected by this bad boy: http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=contentid=KB22111cat=EX_SERIESactp=LISTsmlogin=true If your VLAN count is getting up over 100, consider MSTP - the CPU thrashing on a 3550 or 3750 when they all reconverge has some NASTY side-effects (like delaying the sending of BPDUs, causing the issue to spiral even further).

I believe Juniper's RSTP uses one instance of spanning tree over the physical network not an instance per vlan like cisco's implementation. I would also watch out for vlan 1. - Original Message - From: Benny Amorsen benny+use...@amorsen.dk To: harbor235 harbor...@gmail.com Cc: Juniper List juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Sent: Monday, December 10, 2012 3:16:10 PM Subject: Re: [j-nsp] juniper cisco switch interconnection harbor235 harbor...@gmail.com writes: Has anyone connected a Juniper EX series switch with a Cisco switch (I have a 3550)? Yes Do you use a standard crossover cable? MDIX? I have only attempted 1Gbps, that just worked with a straight cable. Any Layer 2 issues with RSTP and PVST+? It seems to work so far... Any specific configuration required to make it work? Avoid VLAN 1. You can probably make VLAN 1 work if you try, but for me it was easier to simply not use it. /Benny ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
[j-nsp] J-Flow Configuration on MX5
Has Anyone had experiences in configuring J-Flow on MX5 and it works? I have been trying to find the documents, most of them are for SRX and J series and not for MX series. I think the configuration would be the same , but somehow it's not working for me. Any link, idea ,advice all would be very appreciated.

Re: [j-nsp] J-Flow Configuration on MX5
what kind of j-flow (re bassed or inline-jflow) are you trying to configure ? could you share the configuration? we have RE-bassed on our mx80 configured w/o any issues, and inline on 960s typical configuration for re based will be something like: input { rate 2000; run-length 0; max-packets-per-second 1; } family inet { output { flow-inactive-timeout 60; flow-active-timeout 60; flow-server x.x.x.x { port 5000; source-address y.y.y.y; version 5; } } } 2012/12/11 Samol molas...@gmail.com Has Anyone had experiences in configuring J-Flow on MX5 and it works?
