  • 1.  SRX550, 10g how?

    Posted 01-20-2025 20:29

    In the srx 550 I have tried to connect via 10g and have noticed some things.

    1. It doesn't use the ethernet-switching statement.

    2. I can only use family addressing.

    3. I assume it's an uplink port.

    4. I don't really know if its a downlink port.

    5. I dont know if its a direct access module(dac).

    6. Is it fibre only.

    Can someone advise on if they only use Fibre, or if they tried DAC? This specific question can be about any 10g on any srx. My assumption is that DAC on a 10g module is 1g(dac), and 10g fibre????

    I've used 10g DAC on SRX successfully, but not on the 550 specifically.

    I did come up with an answer for 10g, I'm going to make sure, or at least try to get the srx550 on its 10g module working. I accomplished 10g DAC first. Now comes fibre, but I'm sorry I should have tried fibre first. I now think I know the answer however. I'm betting I still get trouble.

    Hello eugene1973

    First of all, Its SRX family ethernet-switching will not work until l2-learning is enabled. 

    Secondly, It can work as uplink or downlink or can be both via vlan tagging.

    Third, I have used it with fiber. DAC should also work but not sure. One thing very sure speed will be 10G either via fiber or DAC.

    Fourth, You can connect with copper cable as well with 1g using command media-type under interfaces heirarchy.

    Please let me know if i can help with something else.

    I thought the SRX-GP-2XE-SFPP-TX was for SRX650, not 550, but a quick browse indicated it will work in the SRX550:

    "The 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet XPIM can be installed only in the following slots, which provide 20G
    connectivity to the Services and Routing Engine (SRE) switch:
    • Slot 6 on the SRX550 Services Gateway."

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/information-products/pathway-pages/hardware/interfaces/srx-branch-index.pdf

    The HCT (hardware compatibility tool) does not list this XPIM as compatible with SRX550 but looking at SRX650, where it is listed as compatible, lots of DAC cables are mentioned.

    https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=SRX650

    I think you can use a DAC but if you cannot get a link, test with fiber first.

    I guess a config for an IP on one port could look like this:

    set interfaces xe-6/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.1.2.3/24

    For using VLAN tags, you need this:

    set interfaces xe-6/0/0 vlan-tagging

    set interfaces xe-6/0/0 unit 123 vlan-id 123

    set interfaces xe-6/0/0 unit 123 family inet address 10.123.123.1/24

    Did you try the XPIM module in slot 6 or another slot?
