    Hi ,
    i have a question about routing / switching.

    I have two MX router, one is old und the other is new.
    I have some irb on the old mx and I must use this network for a short time on my new mx to  use this network on both routern.
    When all connections heve beein moved to  the new mx,  i can delete the old mx and move the irb to the new mx.
    How can I do this......
    When you need i picture or other information call me back.
    Thanks for all
    Thomas

    Yes you can do that.  The IRB on the new MX will probably have a new MAC Address, so the ARP caches in the clients should update automatically.  I forget if IRB sends out a G-ARP (gratuitous).  This type of throw is usually painless, but stale arp caches on clients could pose a problem.
