- Configuring Chassis Cluster information on both nodes e.g. set chassis cluster-id 1 node 0
- Configuring Redundancy Groups (RG) and specify which node should be the primary node for each RG. e.g. set chassis cluster redundancy-group 1 node 0 priority 200. This is also where you determine whether it is a Active-Passive or Active-Active setup
- Configuring Out-of-Band management interface for fxp0 - optional
- Configuring Virtual Routing instances (a.k.a VRF-lite in Cisco networking) - optional
- Configure the number of Redundant Interfaces using "set chassis cluster reth-count n" where n is the number of reth.
- Configuring Redundant Interface (reth) using at least one interface from each node
- Configuring control link using fxp1 interface where configuration synchronization takes place between 2 nodes
- Configuring fabric interface (fabn where n denotes the node id) consisting of at least one ethernet interface from each node
- Successful cluster setup!
After you have established the cluster successfully, you may wish to add more interfaces to it. The additional steps are as follows:
Step1: Increase the reth count by using
Step1: Increase the reth count by using
- set chassis cluster reth-count n where n is the new number of reth interfaces
Step 2: Identify 2 similar interfaces (one from each node e.g. ge-0/0/2 and ge-8/0/2) to form a new reth. e.g.
- set interfaces ge-0/0/2 gigether-options redundant-parent reth2
- set interfaces ge-8/0/2 gigether-options redundant-parent reth2
- Enable VLAN tagging if you intend to use VLAN: "set vlan-tagging"
- Create new sub-interface: "set unit nnn vlan-id
" where nnn is any sub-interface number. - Assign IP address to sub-interface: "set unit nnn family inet address 1.1.1.1/24"
- Return to top level edit: "top"
Step 4: Assign this interface to the virtual routing instance
- set routing-instances
interface reth2.nnn
- set security zones security-zone
interfaces reth2.nnn
- top
