Hi Clarke,

If you are using an MX platform, instead of using family-inet on your interfaces, configure them in a bridge-group using family bridge (simply use an IRB interface for the routing functions). Then you can create firewall filters for those respective interfaces under [firewall filter family bridge] as in the following:

root@lab-mx1# show firewall
family bridge {
   filter test {
       term arp {
           from {
               ether-type arp;
           }
           then {
               count arp;
               accept;
           }
       }
   }
}

Once you have a counter assigned, you can now poll this via SNMP as well.

Hi, Stefan,

I guess I should have been more descriptive. In my MX configuration, the IRB interface is the only interface in the VPLS domain, so there are no "bridge" interfaces where I can configure a "bridge" filter. In other words, the VPLS instance is configured as "connectivity-type irb". The only interface I can configure in that VPLS domain for a filter is the IRB itself, which requires "family inet", unless there is something I don't know about.

instance-type vpls;
vlan-id 100;
routing-interface irb.100;
route-distinguisher 192.168.0.1:100;
vrf-target target:65000:100;
protocols {
    vpls {
        connectivity-type irb;
    }
}

So my example is a little problematic since the ether-type part of the packet I need to look at on ingress is buried under the mpls header.

Your suggestion  does work well in other configuration contexts.
