  • 1.  IRB interfaces and physical interface associated

    Posted 07-02-2020 00:58

    Hi Alll,

     

    I have a basic question with regards to IRB interfaces and the physical interface associated to it.

    HW: qfx 5100

    sw version: 19.4R1.10

    Assumin g a config like

    vlans {
        Test {
            vlan-id 4;
            l3-interface irb.4;
        }
    

    I would like to understand if there is one command in which is clear the association between irb and the physical interface.

    I know the concept of irb, i know the concept of vlan.

    Thanks.

    Hi ,

     

    What relate the physical interface to irb is the vlan , you add the vlan as a member vlan under physical interface , and you specify irb interface as the layer 3 routing interface for that vlan .

    Hi,

     

    regarding the command to relate , what you can do is to check which physical interfaces are allowing the vlan and check the routing interface for the vlan

    user@qfx> show vlans
    
    Routing instance        VLAN name             Tag          Interfaces
    default-switch          test-vlan                    100
                                                               ae100.100*
                                                               ae7.100*
    
    user@qfx> show configuration vlans test-vlan
    vlan-id 100;
    interface xe-0/0/8.100;
    l3-interface irb.100;

    correct i already did this before opening the question here:

    I have

    user@qfx> show configuration vlans test
    vlan-id 4;
    l3-interface irb.4;
    
    and
    
    
    user@qfx> show vlans test
    
    Routing instance        VLAN name             Tag          Interfaces
    default-switch          test              4
                                                               ae0.0*
                                                               
    
    user@qfx> show configuration interfaces ae0 | display set
    (....)
    set interfaces ae0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members 3-4
    (....)
    

    but i was wondering about one step: having more interfaces where this vlans need to be allowed only for layer 2 than in the above output i can not differentiate in whcih interfaces is Layer 2 o3  but i think what i am writing here does not make sense.

    I shoud threat this topic as SVI in cisco world i would say, right?

    You will need to consistently use vlan membership and not direct application of vlan tag number for this to fully work.

     

    Add the irb as the layer 3 interface to the vlan stanza

     

    and add the vlan name, not tag numbers to the interfaces.

    The operational command will give all the members of of all vlans

    show vlans

     

    You can also specify the name of any configured vlan

    show vlans Guest

     

    And the ? mark will list all your options

    show vlans ?
