Would the name of the vlan given on SW1 - "VLAN10" need to match on SW2 or only the ID 10 would it be ok? wondering if tha name has just a local switch representation like in CISCO switches.
Hi, sorry for the late response but it is the same as Cisco where the number is what matters, if it were any different there wouldn't be interoperability between vendors.
Great video, I am trying to configure an EX4400. I am able to set an interface to a particular vlan, but when I try to commit, I get the following response " Access interface can be part of only one vlan, error: configuration check-out failed". Can you please advise on what I may be doing wrong? This is a new switch, I upgraded the firmware to Junos version 23.2A1. The unit appears to be in proper working order, but I can't get passed this vlan configuration issue.
Could be a few different things, first check would be to verify there are no other vlans configured directly on the interface. If that checks out, check for any interface-range commands that could possibly include that interface. I would need to see the configuration of the interface itself to help further.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. If you have multiple switches that are stacked together, the other ones number will be the first number, so like switch 2 port 0 would be ge-1/0/1. The middle number is if you have expansion module ports.
Something very confusing for me: the use of interface-mode vs port-mode. For example. I've seen "set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode access", but could one also do "set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode access"? What would be the difference? If I ask ChatGPT, it says that setting port-mode to access implies interface-mode to access as well but not the other way around. First of all, I do not understand the difference and secondly, I do not trust the unequivocal nature of ChatGPT's answers.. I do not trust the trustworthiness of ChatGPT (but that's another discussion) Same quesion goes for "trunk" mode...
Hi, those two are the same command, with the "port-mode" being the newer one. Basically Juniper changed a bunch of command syntax at once and some commands are now different than they were before. You can look up Juniper ELS to see about that.
