Table 1: Typical Management Interfaces on Junos and Junos Evolved Platforms
Platform
Interface NameDescription
MX Series routers
fxp0
The fxp0 interface is typically an RJ-45 port on the Routing Engine.
EX Series switches
me0, vme
The me0 interface is typically an RJ-45 port on the Routing Engine.
The vme interface is used when the device is part of a Virtual Chassis (VC), and is accessed
via the me0 port. For consistency you can configure and use the vme interface on a stand
alone switch.
QFX Series switches
em0, vme
The em0 interface is typically an RJ-45 port on the Routing Engine.
The vme interface is used when the device is part of a Virtual Chassis (VC), and is accessed
via the em0 port. For consistency you can configure and use the vme interface on a stand
alone switch.
SRX Security Gateways
fxp0, ge-0/0/0
The fxp0 interface is typically an RJ-45 port on the Routing Engine.
On some SRX platforms the ge-0/0/0 interface is used as the management interface.
Platforms running Junos Evolved, for example, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10003, PTX10004,
PTX10008, QFX5130, QFX5220, etc.
re0:mgmt-* and re1:mgmt-*Junos Evolved platforms typically support two management
interfaces per Routing Engine. The two Routing Engines are identified as re0 and re1. The
RJ-45 copper port on each Routing Engine is indexed as 0, while the SFP fiber port is
indexed as 1.
For example, the RJ-45 management Ethernet port on Routing Engine 0 is typically
named re0:mgmt-0.
