I am wondering if any of you have suggestions for allocating unit numbers for q-in-q interfaces on the MX platform.
For plain VLAN's it is quite easy; just use the VLAN as the unit ID. That does not work for q-in-q because unit numbers are integers. The obvious solution 10100007 for outer 1010 inner 7 does not work either, as the unit ID seems to be limited to be at most 16384. Just adding them sequentially is a possibility, but with several hundred subinterfaces per physical interface it becomes challenging for operators to find the correct unit ID for a particular VLAN. Perhaps I will have to add a per-interface unit ID database to our provisioning system. Ideas are welcome! /Benny _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
