Chapter 4 Managing the Passport 8683POS Module 63

Configuring routing

A POS port configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation must be the sole member of the VLAN. You cannot add any other port to a VLAN which already has a POS port with IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation enabled. You cannot add a POS port which is configured for IPCP and/or IPXCP encapsulation to a VLAN which already has other ports as members.

Note: When the Passport 8600 switch is interoperating with a Juniper router, the POS port must have the Juniper IP address configured in the remote IP field. This is necessary because the Juniper routers do not provide their local IP address during PPP negotiation. The Passport 8600 switch requires the Juniper address for IPCP operations. See “config pos ip” on page 94 for information on configuring the remote IP address. Note also that 30-bit subnet masks may be required for certain JUNOS releases.
