Switching

I asked my SE.  They said not yet~...

For now.. i generate the commands I want from an UNIX command line...

$ for i in `seq 1 48`; do   echo "set interface ......"; done

Hi,

The other possibility if you need something quick is to use commit scripts with macros.  You can then create config that expresses the range you wish to create and the action you wish to apply and automatically manipulates it (along the same lines as eriwchan's unix command) to output a real JUNOS configuration when you commit the config.

Rgds,

Hey ericwchan,

I am new to using JUNOS and I was wondeirng if you could elaborate on how you would actually run the for loop.  Would you run it from the the JUNOS shell or would you run it from some other non-JUNOS platform?  If you run it from the shell, how do you feed set commands into the cli, into configuration mode? 

Sorry for the newbie, and slightly unrelated, question.

Best regards,

Carlos 

The WebUI has a workaround....   you can select (highlight) multiple interfaces from Configure>Interfaces>Ports and make changes to all from the Edit button.

Hope this works for what you are trying to do. 

I hear range commands are supposed to be out in November's JUNOS release. 

Until then, I offer a couple of options, which I use:

old school DOS script example: 

for /L %i in (0,1,23) do @echo set interface ge-0/0/%i.0 family ethernet-switching vlan members V1

You get the idea...change as needed OR use apply groups like so:

set groups InterfaceSettings interfaces <ge-*>  family ethernet-switching vlan members V1

set apply-groups InterfaceSettings

see the config using show interface ge-0/0/0 | show inheritance 

OR CLEANER OUTPUT: show interface ge-0/0/0 | show inheritance | except ##

can't wait until ranges in November...hope it's true!

HTH!

Hi there,


From 10.x

#set interfaces interface-range int_in_eth member-range ge-3/0/0 to ge-3/0/47
#set interfaces interface-range int_in_eth unit 0 family ethernet-switching
#commit check

#commit


For this example, i needed to create logical interfaces for my LC3 (virtual chassis configuration) that allows to use these ports.


Other example but for VLAN: http://kb.juniper.net/index?page=content&id=KB16354

Hi Guys,

you can also create a set file inside the EX itself on old versions (this can be used for any commands you need) as per below:

- Go to the shell (start shell user root)

- sh

- # rm set-file.txt; X=0; while [ $X -lt 10 ]; do echo "set interface ge-0/0/$X description INT$X" >> set-file.txt; X=`expr $X + 1`; done
# cat set-file.txt
set interface ge-0/0/0 description INT0
set interface ge-0/0/1 description INT1
set interface ge-0/0/2 description INT2
set interface ge-0/0/3 description INT3
set interface ge-0/0/4 description INT4
set interface ge-0/0/5 description INT5
set interface ge-0/0/6 description INT6
set interface ge-0/0/7 description INT7
set interface ge-0/0/8 description INT8
set interface ge-0/0/9 description INT9

The you can load it directly from cli:

load set set-file.txt
