Switching

Due to cabling reasons, I need to confgure all odd ports on an EX4300 in one vlan, and all even ports on another.

Our prefered "default" configuration method is by use of groups. However when trying to apply these groups I'm getting unexpected results. 

groups {
    group_a {
        interfaces {
            "<ge-*/0/[0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46]>" {
                unit 0 {
                    family ethernet-switching {
                        interface-mode access;
                        vlan {
                            members vlan_a;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    group_b {
        interfaces {
            "<ge-*/0/[1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,45,47]>" {
                unit 0 {
                    family ethernet-switching {
                        interface-mode access;
                        vlan {
                            members vlan_b;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
apply-groups [ group_a group_b ];
interfaces {
    ge-0/0/0 {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching;
        }
    }

    ge-0/0/1 {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching;
        }
    }


    ge-0/0/2 {
        unit 0 {
            family ethernet-switching;
        }
    }
}

Sample results are:

ge-0/0/0, vlan_a & vlan_b are both applied

ge-0/0/1, vlan_b applied (correct)

ge-0/0/2, vlan_a applied (correct)

ge-0/0/3, no vlans applied

ge-0/0/4, vlan_a & vlan_b both applied

Has anyone run into this?

Unfortunately it looks like JUNOS regex does not allow multiple character classes in the group regex. I think your only option is:

set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/*> unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode access
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/[13579]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_a
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/1[13579]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_a
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/2[13579]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_a
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/3[13579]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_a
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/4[13579]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_a
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/[02468]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_b
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/1[02468]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_b
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/2[02468]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_b
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/3[02468]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_b
set groups default_vlan interfaces <ge-*/0/4[02468]> unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members vlan_b

Thanks man. I was wondering what the deal was with this. 3 years later, apparently still like this.

Hi Folks,

Just my 2 cents on this…

If you find something is missing in Junos; and there is a real use case, Always free to open Enhancement Request (ER).
