interface vlan-tagging in olive

prince862

hi, i made two olives -- each of them is bulit in following way :
olive1 --
attached two junos-supported NIC : <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> on my COMPAQ machine
installed freeBSD 4.10 and then junOS 8.1R1.5
olive2 ---
same but with junOS 8.2 on freeBSD 4.4
i named my olives as "labR1" and "labR2". the NICs were found as fxp0 and fxp1.
i connected fxp0 to my office LAN switch from where i telnet to labR1 and labR2.
then i directly connected the fxp1 interface of both machines via a cross-over cable.


now, if i configure the fxp1.0 without VLAN i can ping from one olive to another.
but, if i configure the fxp1.0 with VLAN tag then i can not ping from one to another.

below is the non-VLAN configuration:

labR1 ----

amin@labR1# show interfaces 
fxp0 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.16.20.30/24;
        }
    }
}
fxp1 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.91.1.1/24;
        }
    }
}
lo0 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 1.1.1.1/32;
        }
    }
}

labR2 ----

    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.16.20.31/24;
        }
    }
}
fxp1 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.91.1.2/24;
        }
    }
}
lo0 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 2.2.2.2/32;
        }
    }
}

output from labR1 ----

now, i configured fxp1.0 with vlan-id 5 in both olive:

hope, someone will give me a way so that i can ping via vlan-enabled fxp1 interface.

basically, i need multiple logical interfaces to use in fxp1. and i found no way but to use vlan-tagging for that purpose. but the vlanned conf is not working.

thanks for ur patience.

There really shouldn't be a problem with assigning vlans to fxp ports. I have a bunch of olives, 17 to be exact, and 5 j2300 routers, and I have no problem using vlans on the olive fxp ports. I actually have to use vlans because I have the olives sliced up into logical routers and each fxp port is a logical router with multiple vlan'd units coming off each port.

I reviewed your config and there shouldn't be an issue with using vlans. The only thing I can think of is that olives can act very funny if they are on differing version of code. I would recommend getting both olives on the same version of code and then trying again.
