Channelizing interfaces on QFX5200

The 32 ports on Juniper QFX5200 can operate as 100G or 40G, based on the optic inserted in the port.

The 100G ports can work as 100G or they can be channelized to 50G or 25G.

The 40G ports can work as 40G or they can be channelized to 10G.

The 100G/40G appeat as et-fpc/pic/port and the channelized interfaces as et-fpc/pic/port:channel.

There is a 100G link between these two QFX5200:

Without any configuration, the port operates at 100G:

Let’s channelize this interface to 50G and confirm that each interface is 50G(the configuration is done on both QFX5200):

fpc 0 {
    pic 0 {
        port 2 {
            channel-speed 50g;
        }
    }
}

Now to 25G(notice that now we have 4 interfaces, 4 times 25G is 100G):

These channelized interfaces are standalone interfaces and you can work with them as they are separate interfaces.

Let’s configure OSPF for each of them:

root@jtac-QFX5200-32C-r1004# show interfaces
et-0/0/2:0 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 1.1.0.4/24;
        }
    }
}
et-0/0/2:1 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 1.1.1.4/24;
        }
    }
}
et-0/0/2:2 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 1.1.2.4/24;
        }
    }
}
et-0/0/2:3 {
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 1.1.3.4/24;
        }
    }
}

area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface et-0/0/2:0.0;
    interface et-0/0/2:1.0;
    interface et-0/0/2:2.0;
    interface et-0/0/2:3.0;
}

You should have four neighbors:

root@jtac-QFX5200-32C-r1004# run show ospf neighbor
Address          Interface              State     ID               Pri  Dead

1.1.1.5          et-0/0/2:1.0           Full      1.1.0.5          128    38
1.1.2.5          et-0/0/2:2.0           Full      1.1.0.5          128    37

This applies to 40G interfaces, with the note that you can channelize to 10G(therefore 4 times 10G).

And this would be all about channelized interfaces on QFX5200 and Ihope you found this information useful.
