Configuration of a chassis cluster—Perform the initial configuration of the chassis
cluster using a console connection. Before you perform the initial configuration, connect
the built-in Ethernet ports as follows:

Port 0/6—Connect to the out-of-band management network for management of
the device. When you enable chassis clustering as part of configuring the chassis
cluster, the management interface (

fxp0

) is automatically created on this port.

Port 0/7—Connect to the other device in the chassis cluster. When you enable chassis
clustering, the control interface between the two devices (

fxp1

) is automatically

created on this port.

You must also make another connection between the two devices for the fabric link.
You can use any Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet port for this connection. You must
configure the interface you choose as the fabric link. For more information on configuring
chassis clusters, see the

Security Basics

.

Mapping the Chassis Cluster Ports

On the SRX210 Services Gateway, the

fxp1

port is not user-configurable when the services

gateway is operating in chassis cluster mode.

The

fxp0

port is dedicated as the out-of-band management interface for each of the

devices in the chassis cluster setup and the

fxp1

port is dedicated as the chassis-cluster

control port.

Table 33 on page 87

shows the mapping of the chassis cluster ports.

)

fxp1 (control port)

0/7 (

fe-0/0/7

)

Junos OS automatically creates the fxp0 and fxp1 interfaces on these ports when the
SRX210 Services Gateway is operating in chassis cluster mode.
