  • 1.  MX80 - stitch two interfaces with same VLAN-ID id in a VR.

    Posted 09-21-2017 18:23

    Hi. We have an MX80 that needs to take packets tagged on xe-0/0/2.123 and forward them to ae0.123 within a virtual-router instance, whilst having a L3 interface living on this VLAN. I've tried to add the interfaces into a bridge domain created within the routing-instance, but we get this error:

     

    'bridge-domains' configuration can only be used for 'instance-type virtual-switch'

     

    How do we go about doing this? Here is the relevant config:

     

    xe-0/0/2 {
    flexible-vlan-tagging;
    unit 123 {
    vlan-id 123;
    }

     

    xe-0/0/0 {
    gigether-options {
    802.3ad ae0;
    }

    ae0 {
    flexible-vlan-tagging;
    encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services;
    unit 123 {
    vlan-id 123;
    }

     

    irb {
    unit 123 {
    family inet {
    address 192.168.1.1/24;
    }
    }

    }

     

    routing-instances {
    TEST-VR {
    instance-type virtual-router;
    interface xe-0/0/2.123;
    interface ae0.123;
    interface irb.123;
    }
    ##
    ## Warning: 'bridge-domains' configuration can only be used for 'instance-type virtual-switch'
    ##
    bridge-domains {
    VLAN123 {
    domain-type bridge;
    vlan-id 123;
    interface xe-0/0/2.123;
    interface ae0.123;
    routing-interface irb.123;
    }
    }

    just remove xe-0/0/2.123 and ae0.123 from routing-instance TEST-VR, keep them only under bridge-domain

    'bridge-domains' configuration can only be used for 'instance-type virtual-switch'

    One more thing to add to what said, You can also use instance-type virtual-switch and configure bridge-domain in it as the warning message says but You can't configure bridge-domain in instance-type virtual-router.

    We removed xe-0/0/2.123 and ae0.123 from the routing-instance config but still had issues committing - same error. Unfortunately this instance has to be type virtual-router, so we wound up moving the bridge-domain out of the VR and into the base instance. It was able to commit after that. We've verified connectivity through the TEST-VR instance over irb.123, as well as tagged packets on vlan123 going through the bridged interfaces. Thanks all for pointing us in the right direction. Much appreciated!
