[j-nsp] Clustering J-series across a switch

Hey all, So I've been reading the clustering docs, and they make it pretty clear that the (at least) control link should connect the devices back-to-back. I don't have the page to hand but there is an option to configure the control link in the old way, using (a?) VLAN (4094 IIRC), otherwise

Re: [j-nsp] Clustering J-series across a switch

IIRC, it's possible but not recommended due to the reliability issue of the switch in between. In your situation, I'd probably give it a shot. Definitely use different VLANs for control and fabric. Aaron On Apr 2, 2013, at 10:47 AM, Mike Williams wrote: Hey all, So I've been reading the

I've heard that it works. I have avoided it so far, however. Will O'Brien On Apr 2, 2013, at 11:48 AM, Mike Williams mike.willi...@comodo.com wrote: Hey all, So I've been reading the clustering docs, and they make it pretty clear that the (at least) control link should connect the devices

Re: [j-nsp] Clustering J-series across a switch

It works on 11.4 (several versions) with running dual control and dual fabric links between 2 SRX3600 using cisco VSS switches in between. As long as control and data planes have different VLANs and you enable jumbo frames on the fabric it just works. Not tried to Q in Q the traffic though, just
