Re: [j-nsp] Anybody use dual RE in srx3k? SCM only?

2013-12-18 Thread Nicholas Oas
I manage two SRX-3k chassis clusters with CRMs. The main reason we chose CRMs in our deployment is to have a secondary control link (EM1) to avoid split-brain scenario should we lose the link for EM0. We did the same thing with the data plane (FAB0, FAB1) which of course does not require any specia

SCM will also keep a chassis alive in case of RE failure (assuming it's in a cluster and there's an active RE on the other chassis). I don't believe that a second RE is supported in 3k, but that's primarily because the SCM does everything that a backup RE would be able to do for less $$$ (so even i

Hi, the SCM will only allow you to use a secondary control link on the srx3600. Juniper sales ing said that they are not planning to add support for a second RE on the srx3000 family. if you don't have the SCM the second control port will be/stay disable. Hope it helps Santiago. > On 16 Dec 201

Second REs don't really do anything on SRX... yet. On the 5800s, I had to add them in order to bring up a secondary control link. The only thing they do is init the control plane on the chassis for that link to come up. I believe it's an artifact from stealing the MX chassis. I don't think it d

And the SFB which houses both of the control ports...no support for two of those yet either? Morgan On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 1:40 PM, joel jaeggli wrote: > On 12/16/13, 1:07 PM, Morgan McLean wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Looking into installing the SCM module into a couple of SRX3600's I have > i

Hi all, Looking into installing the SCM module into a couple of SRX3600's I have in production. Notice the diagram from juniper says slot RE1 for SCM. Do they support running another RE? Just curious if anybody does this, if its worth it or if its even possible. -- Thanks, Morgan ___
