Hi,
I Could someone please clear up a point of confusion for me:
I have configured an "active/active" and also an "active/passive" successfully, but there is one part of the configuration that is confusing me slightly and I am amazed the HA even works because of this:
For the data plane configuration (fab ports) the example (and what I have used) is:
set interfaces fab0 fabric-options member-interfaces xe-0/0/16
set interfaces fab0 fabric-options member-interfaces xe-0/0/17
set interfaces fab0 fabric-options member-interfaces xe-7/0/16
set interfaces fab0 fabric-options member-interfaces xe-7/0/17
This is all good..... but then, it says "For failover use the following ports for the reth and tie to redundancy groups"
set interfaces xe-6/0/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth0
set interfaces xe-6/1/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth1
set interfaces xe-18/0/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth0
set interfaces xe-18/1/0 gigether-options redundant-parent reth1
Why, if these are mentioned as the "failover data ports", are they completely different to the fab ports? I would have expected them to be the same...... My config works, but I want to understand why it works.
Thanks
