Juniper Networks 5000 SERIES Configuring Aggregate Interfaces, Set interface string zone zonename

Chapter 3 Configuring the Device

CONFIGURING AGGREGATE INTERFACES

The NetScreen-5000 Series device allows you to combine two or more physical ports into a single virtual port. This virtual port is known as an aggregate interface. Only Secure Port Modules (SPMs) support this feature.

•On a 5000-8G SPM, you can create up to four aggregate interfaces.

•On a 5000-2G24FE SPM, you can create up to five aggregate interfaces.

The 5000-8G SPM supports only certain combinations of ports for aggregate interfaces. For example, a 5000-8G SPM residing in slot 2 only supports the following port combinations:

•Ethernet2/1 and Ethernet2/2

•Ethernet2/3 and Ethernet2/4

•Ethernet2/5 and Ethernet2/6

•Ethernet2/7 and Ethernet2/8

You must assign one of the following names to the aggregate interface: aggregate1, aggregate2, aggregate3, or aggregate4.

In the following example, you combine two Gigabit Ethernet mini-GBIC ports, each running at 1 Gbps, into an aggregate interface running at 2 Gbps. The aggregate interface consists of Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on a 5000-8G SPM (residing in slot 2).

To create the aggregate interface:

1.(Optional) To see what physical ports are available on your NetScreen-5000 Series device:

get interface

2.To create an aggregate interface name:

set interface string zone zonename

where string is a legal aggregate interface name (aggregate1, aggregate2, aggregate3, or aggregate4).

For example, to create the aggregate interface name aggregate1: set interface aggregate1 zone zonename

3.To assign ports ethernet2/1 and ethernet2/2 to the aggregate1 interface name:

set interface ethernet2/1 aggregate aggregate1 set interface ethernet2/2 aggregate aggregate1

4.(Optional) To see the updated port list and details about the new aggregate interface:

get interface

get interface aggregate1
