Switching

I'm new to juniper and i was wondering do i have to start with ae0 or can i create and start with  interface numbers such as ae10 instead?

Hi GXS,

You can start with ae10.  Did you have issues to commit or make it work?

Regards,

Randall

You can start with any number as long as the interface has been created.  To have ae10 available you need to have done: 

set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 11 (or higher).

Ylara,

Thanks for the info.

So if i understand correctly you can't start with ae10 since there created automatically.

Ylara,

The reason I'm asking is we are in the process of building another site next to our HQ building and the plan was to have a virtual switch split between the two building if you follow what i'm saying.  we were thinking of having two ex4600 and one ex 4300 in one building  and have the same setup in the other building and tie them together as one virtual switch.

I think you'd be better off not spanning the virtual chassis between buildings.  Route between the buildings and save yourself years of regret.  If you need to extend layer 2, use EVPN, or separate fiber.

Brantonyc,

any specific reason you think it's a bad idea to spanning the virtual chassis between two building?

With Junos, you need to specify the number of AE interfaces you want to have supported on the device.  For example, if you specify device-count 3, you would be able to configure ae0, ae1, and ae2.  If you want to start at ae10, you would need to specify 11 ( since numbering starts at 0).    You do not need to use ae0-9 if you do not want to, yet they will be available if you want.

Hi Jeff,

on another subject I have a ex2300 switch  which is online and i want to  add a 2nd switch to make it a virtual switch. 
The 2nd switch was added and connected with DAC and i was planning to to do the following to configure the virtual switch.

edit
set virtual-chassis preprovisioned
set virtual-chassis no-split-detection
set virtual-chassis member 0 role routing-engine
set virtual-chassis member 0 serial-number xxxxxxxxxxx
set virtual-chassis member 1 role routing-engine
set virtual-chassis member 1 serial-number xxxxxxxxxxx

commit check
commit confirm
commit

add this command to each switch. 

request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 0
request virtual-chassis vc-port set pic-slot 1 port 1

This should work to form EX2300 VC.

Well, what is your definition of "start with"? 

You have to do set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 11 for interface ae10 to even exist (no ae interface exists by default or is created automatically) 

As Jeff mentioned, device-count 11 creates ae0 to ae10 (though they don't show in the config).  Then, you can "start with" ae10. Meaning, configure and use only ae10, and ignore ae0 to ae9.
