Control Plane Interconnects and Nodes: Part 1


Connecting a QFX3600-I Interconnect Device to a Copper-Based QFX3000-M QFabric System Control Plane
Network:
QFX3600-I Interconnect devices have two 1000BASE-T management ports (labeled C0 and C1) with RJ-45
connectors. For a copper-based control plane network, use the 1000BASE-T management ports to connect the
QFX3600-I Interconnect device to each EX4200 switch (CPE).
Connect the first QFX3600-I Interconnect device as follows:
Connect one end of the first RJ-45 patch cable to the management port labeled C0.
Connect the other end of that cable to port ge-0/0/16 on the first EX4200 switch.
Connect one end of the second RJ-45 patch cable to the management port labeled C1.
Connect the other end of that cable to port ge-0/0/16 on the second EX4200 switch.
For the second, third, and fourth QFX3600-I Interconnect devices, connect respective C0 and C1 management ports
to port ge-0/0/17, ge-0/0/18, and ge-0/0/19 on both EX4200 switches, respectively.

Control Plane Interconnects and Nodes: Part 2


Connecting a Node Device to a Copper-Based QFX3000-M QFabric System Control Plane Network:
Both the QFX3600-16Q and QFX3500 Node devices (with a 1000BASE-T management board installed) have two
1000BASE-T management ports (labeled C0 and C1) with RJ-45 connectors. For a copper-based control plane
network, use the 1000BASE-T management ports to connect the Node device to each EX4200 switch.
Connect a Node device to the copper-based QFX3000-M QFabric system control plane network as follows:
Connect one end of the first RJ-45 patch cable to the first 1000BASE-T management port (labeled C0) on the Node
device front panel.
Connect the other end of that cable to the appropriate port on the first EX4200 switch.
Connect one end of the second RJ-45 patch cable to the second 1000BASE-T management port (labeled C1) on the
Node device front panel.
Connect the other end of that cable to the appropriate port on the second EX4200 switch. This should be the same
port number that you connected to in Step 2. For example, if you connected the first cable to ge-0/0/0 on the first
EX4200 switch, you connect the second cable to ge-0/0/0 on the second EX4200 switch.
Repeat this procedure for each Node device.
Cabling a fiber-based Control Plane for the QFX3000-M QFabric system is not covered in this course.

Power On DG0
Before software installation, you insert USBs into each of the two Directors.
Meanwhile, we recommend that you identify which Director device will be DG0 and which Director device will be DG1.
Once you determine the Director device name designations, power on the device designated as DG0. It will detect the
USB during boot up, and then you use the install option.

Power On DG1
No less than two minutes after powering on the first director, power on the second. The second Director encounters
an existing Director device within the group (DG0) and then becomes DG1. The two Director devices are then
mirrored and synchronized, which can take about 25 minutes.

Power On Interconnects and Node Devices


After the Director Group is running, your focus turns to the Interconnect devices and Node devices participating in the
system.
We recommend you bring up the Interconnect devices first and then the Node devices.
Note that, for QFX3000-M deployments where the QFX3600-I Interconnect devices are used, the Director devices
must be running Junos OS release 12.2 or later. If the Director Group software version is a release prior to 12.2, the
QFX3600-I Interconnect devices will not join the system.
For all deployment scenarios, you must ensure the software version on Node devices is compatible with the QFabric
system. The initial software version and some subsequent images used on the QFX3500 devices are not compatible
with the QFabric system. If the software image running on the Node devices is not compatible with the QFabric
system, you must upgrade the Node devices to a compatible image.
The software version running on the Interconnect and Node devices does not need to be the same version of software
running on the Director Group. As long as the images on the Interconnect devices and Node devices are compatible
with the version running on the Director Group, the Director Group will register those devices and automatically
upgrade them to the version running on the Director Group.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) enables you to synchronize the time across the network. This is especially helpful for
correlating log events and replicating databases and file systems. The QFabric system synchronizes time with servers
that are external to the system and operates in client mode only. Within the system, all components are configured
when provisioned to synchronize their time with the Director Group.

Node Groups Configuration


When a QFabric Node joins the QFabric system, it is identified by its serial number by default. Managing a large set of
QFabric Nodes by their serial numbers can be a daunting task. Therefore, the Junos OS allows you to create alias
names for each QFabric Node. Once defined, the alias name can be referenced within the configuration and operation
commands.
Because a QFabric Node needs to be part of a Node group; the Node group membership is done under the resource
of the fabric, then the resource. For the SNG and RSNG, the name can be any arbitrary name. The NNG is the
exception to this rule. The name of an NNG is always NW-NG-0. Node group membership is a QFabric Node level,
meaning a Node can only be a member of one Node group. Membership cannot be split into different Node groups.
To define an SNG, you just need to bind one QFabric Node to a Node group. For RSNG, two QFabric Nodes need to
be a member of the same Node group. You can define what QFabric Nodes go into the NNG. In addition, the networkdomain needs to be configured under the NNG. Again, for the NNG, the name is always NW-NG-0 and this is a set
name which you cannot modify.

QFabric Interface Naming Convention


QFabric follows the same interface naming convention as EX Series switches. Therefore, if you are familiar with EX
Series switch configuration, operating and configuring a QFabric system should only entail a slight learning curve.
The standard Junos OS port naming convention uses a three-level identifier for the port the interface type, Flexible
PIC Concentrator (FPC) number, Physical Interface Card (PIC) number, and then the port number. For QFabric, the
interface naming convention has been enhanced to four levels, where a chassis-level identifier is added. The QFabric
interface naming scheme adds the QFabric Node followed by a colon in front of the standard naming convention of
interface type, FPC number, PIC number, and port number. The QFabric Node can be either the serial number or the
alias name that has been assigned to the Node.

Interface Range
To simplify configuration, the Junos OS allows grouping a range of identical interfaces that share the same
configuration. This reduces the time and effort required to configure a large set of interfaces. The range can be
defined with a start-interface and an end-interface syntax or with a regular expression. Either method is supported,
but the interface range is limited within one QFabric Node. A range cannot span multiple QFabric Nodes.
The example on the slide shows both supported and unsupported configurations.

VLAN Configuration
Virtual LANs (VLANs) allow users to control the size of a broadcast domain and, more importantly, group ports in a
Layer 2 switched network into the same broadcast domain as if they are connected on the same switch, regardless of
their physical location. QFabric architecture is no exception.
The VLAN database is configured under the [vlan] stanza. There are two methods for assigning a port to a VLAN
port centric and VLAN centric. Either method is valid, but if interface range or group profile is not being used, then for
ease of VLAN management, we recommend that VLAN membership for the access port be done under the VLAN
method and under the port method for the trunk port.

LAG configuration
Link aggregation provides link redundancy as well as increased bandwidth. QFabric supports both static and dynamic
LAGs, which can be configured on any QFabric Node.
The slide provides a comparison of the LAG configuration used for EX Series switches and QFabric systems.
With EX Series switches, you configure the number of supported LAGs under the chassis level in the configuration.
With QFabric, this is done at the node group level. If there is LAG support across multiple node groups then you need
to configure the number of supported LAG groups on a per-node group level. The QFabric configuration example on
the right of the slide shows the configuration for SNG, RSNG, and NNG, respectively.
The basic steps of QFabric LAG configuration are as follows:
Define the number of supported LAGs per node group
Assign the interface to a LAG interface
Configure the LAG interface

QFabric LAG Configuration Same Member


This slide illustrates a comparison of the LAG configuration on an EX Series switch and a QFabric system.
You need to configure or bind the physical interface to the aggregated interface. Note that the physical interface is
done at the QFabric Node level.
All common LAG parameters across child LAG members are centralized to the LAG interface itself. These include
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), speed, duplex, and so on. While the example shown on the slide is for a
Layer 2 interface, for Layer 3 the family needs to change from ethernet-switching to inet, because Layer 3 is only
supported on NNG.
There are two typical LAG deployments same member and cross member. Note that in the configuration example
on the slide for the QFabric system, the member links participating in the sng-1:ae0 LAG are associated with the
same Node devices. Same member LAGs can be configured on any Node group.

Spanning Tree Protocol


While there is no need to run the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) within the QFabric system, there might be deployment
scenarios that require its use when connecting the QFabric system with another Layer 2 device. STP bridge protocol
data units (BPDUs) can only be received and processed through interfaces associated with the NNG.
All SNGs are automatically configured to block BPDUs and disable their interfaces should they receive BPDUs.

Next, we will take a look at QFabric Layer 2 design in the data center.
In this particular deployment scenario shown on the slide, the first hop router is either the MX Series or SRX Series
devices and the QFabric is strictly a Layer 2 connection. This deployment is good for scenarios where the customer
needs advanced services, such as MPLS, virtual private LAN Service (VPLS), or security on the SRX Series devices.
Another type of requirement might be because of a large scale table, such as host tables and/or media access control
(MAC).

The slide introduces the common Layer 2 connection types found in data center environments. The rack servers and
blade chassis connections can associate with any Node group type, but are often made with SNGs and RSNGs. As

Rack Server Use Case


Rack servers are usually 1 to 2 rack units in height. From a cabling perspective, because there are usually multiple
network interface cards (NICs) within each server, a top of rack (ToR) deployment will usually provide the best
solution in terms of total cost of ownership (TCO). The reason ToR deployment is favorable is that the cabling from the
server to the switch is within the rack and does not need to be run to another rack. Another reason a ToR deployment
is favorable is because it provides flexibility and modularity. One of the drawbacks with ToR deployments is that it
adds another device to manage. However, this drawback does not apply to the QFabric system, because QFabric is a
single device.
The three connection methods used by rack servers are as follows:
Single attached: With the single attached method, there is only one connection between the server and network
device. In this type of model or this type of connection, the high availability (HA) is built into the application. If the
server goes down, there is another server that will take over.
Dual Attached: There are two different types of the dual attached connection active/passive or active/active. In
active/passive, it is basically two separate links one is the primary and one is the backup in case the primary fails.
With active/active, there are two types. In the first, the NICs are in two different VLANs and have different IP
addresses. In the second, the NIC teams are bonded, in the sense that they are sharing the same IP address or MAC
address.
Dual Homed: With the dual homed connection method, the server is connected to two different devices, or line cards,
and you not only have link redundancies but you also have device redundancy in the sense that one device will not
bring down the connections to the server. There are two dual homed configuration method types active/passive and
active/active. The type of QFabric Node connections to these servers will be dependent on how the NICs are
configured in terms of an active/passive or active/active configuration scenario.

On this slide we will look at a single attached connection. The only difference between the QFabric system and the EX
Series switch configuration entry is, as mentioned previously, the interface naming convention. In the example on the
slide, the connection is a single port link with a trunk port connection to the server, where its members are VLANs 11
through 15.

Dual Homed RSNG or NNG


Dual homed connections, which again means that the device is being connected to two different nodes, will depend on
the configuration type of the NICS. If the configuration is active/passive, the dual homed connection can be between
two different node groups.
If the configuration is active/active, the dual homed configuration should be configured as an RSNG. If there is a plan
to migrate into an active/active configuration, then it is recommended to connect the server to an RSNG. Again, from a
configuration standpoint, you need to find the number of supported LAGs in the RSNG. After that, you define the LAG
interface and the LAG configuration by following the steps discussed previously.

Layer 3 Deployment
One of the primary decisions that must be made to provide Layer 3 gateway and routing services relates to placement
of the first hop router. This decision is ultimately determined by your design and traffic flow requirements. You have a
number of options when it comes to the implementation of the first hop router SRX Series, MX Series, QFabric, or
some combination of the three.
QFabric can do Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding on the QFabric Node. This essentially means that QFabric can be the
first hop router. In such a case, the Layer 3 boundary will move from the SRX Series or MX Series to the QFabric. The
MX Series will still provide access to the outside world and the SRX Series will still provide the security services.

QFabric Layer 3 Implementation


With QFabric being the first hop router, one of the most commonly asked questions regards Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Where is VRRP configured within QFabric? In the traditional network, VRRP is usually
required when there are two separate systems that are providing gateway functionality to the host. QFabric differs
simply because it is a single system. The routed VLAN interface (RVI), which is going to be the gateway to the host,
resides on the NNG (or SNG or RSNG) but is shared and present on all the QFabric Nodes. As long as the nodegroup is part of a VLAN that has VLAN routing enabled (in this case RVI configured), then VRRP is not required.

Layer 3
A Layer 3 interface can be configured on the NNG, both at the physical and logical (LAG interface) levels. Unicast and
multicast routing protocols can only be enabled on RVI and NNG interfaces. If a host has a routing protocol enabled
and needs to establish an adjacency to the RVI, then this device needs to be connected to the NNG. If the host needs
to establish an adjacency to an external device, such as an MX Series or SRX Series device, then the host can be
connected to any node-group device, such as an SNG or RSNG. The routing protocol packets will be forwarded
through QFabric, but not up to the QFabric interface. NNGs are not bound to a physical location, they can be in
different areas. Therefore, they can be dispersed throughout the data center where multiple servers that require SNG
connections can be aggregated.

Routed VLAN Interface


As mentioned earlier, routed interfaces can either be RVI or Layer 3 ports on the NNG.
An RVI is a logical Layer 3 VLAN interface used to route traffic between VLANs. RVIs often serve as the gateway IP
address for host devices on the subnet associated with the corresponding VLAN. RVIs, along with all other Layer 3
interfaces on a QFabric system, are associated with the NNG.
As illustrated in the example on the slide, the engineering and marketing VLANs do not need firewall service from the
SRX Series devices, and therefore the gateway or the RVI for those two VLANs is on the QFabric.

Layer 3 LAG Configuration


In the previous section, we introduced and illustrated the configuration of LAGs. This slide provides a configuration
example for a Layer 3 LAG. While much of this configuration example matches that shown in the previous section, you
should note that this LAG configuration example uses the protocol family inet.
As with RVIs and any other Layer 3 interface, Layer 3 LAGs must be associated with the NNG. As noted on the slide,
Layer 3 LAGs can use only a single unit and that unit number must be zero.
Similar to Layer 2 LAGs, there are two typical LAG deployments for Layer 3 same member and cross member.
With same member LAGs, all of the LAG child members are terminated on the same QFabric Node. With cross
member LAGs, child member LAGs are split between node group members. The example on the slide illustrates
across member LAG configuration.
Use the following steps to configure a Layer 3 LAG:
Define the Layer 2 configuration including VLAN
Assign interfaces to the LAG interface
Configure the LAG interface and assign it an IP address
Configure RVI for the VLAN, and
Bind the RVI interface to the VLAN
Note that, in this example, we showed the RVI configuration for two VLANs 1100 and 1101.

RVI Interface Verification: Part 2


The slide illustrates sample output from the commands used to verify the state of RVIs. The show interfaces terse
vlan command is used to verify the state or the defined RVIs. Use the show ethernet-switching interfaces
command to verify the status of the interfaces. Note that RVIs become active only when an operational Layer 2
interface is associated with the VLAN to which the RVI is applied.
Also on the slide, we show the route table using the show route command. Just like other Junos OS devices, once
interfaces are configured on the system, the corresponding routes (Direct and Local routes as shown in the sample
output on the slide) are added to the route table.

Static Route
The QFabric system supports the manual
creation of static routes as well as some
dynamic routing protocols.

Static Route
To allow routing to remote networks for the QFabric system and its attached devices, the route table will need route
entries for those remote destination networks or a default route. The QFabric system supports the manual creation of
static routes as well as some dynamic routing protocols.
This slide shows a sample default route configuration that directs all outbound traffic to remote destination networks.

OSPF
Depending on your deployment and design requirements, it might be best to use a dynamic routing protocol instead of
static routes. The QFabric system supports OSPF and BGP for these situations. The syntax used to configure these
protocols on a QFabric system is the same syntax used on other Junos OS devices, such as the MX Series and SRX
Series devices. OSPF is used for the dynamic routing protocol example shown on this slide.
For OSPF or any routing protocol, the configuration is done under the [protocols] stanza. In the configuration
example on this slide, all of the subnets are in the same area. A better design practice is to configure stub area for the
VLANs. Stub configuration follows the standard Junos OS configuration.

VRF-Lite
QFabric supports a version of VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) called VRF-Lite. In the example on this slide, there
are two red and blue. Blue has the odd VLANs and red the even VLANs. The VLAN tables are separate and thus
allow overlapping IP addresses. If route-leaking is required, then an external loopback cable is required.
The example on this slide shows the connection of two SRX Series devices in a one-arm configuration. Packets are
either routed or switched to the SRX Series devices for security services. Currently the VRF-Lite implementation does
not support route-leaking.
