To Configure IP ClassificationJuniper Networks virtual systems support two kinds of traffic classifications: VLAN-based and IP-based, both of which can function exclusively or concurrently.
With the VLAN-based traffic classification, a device uses VLAN tagging to direct traffic to various subinterfaces and dedicated physical interfaces bound to different systems, and to physical interfaces shared by all systems.
IP-based traffic classification allows you to direct traffic to virtual systems without VLANs. Instead of VLAN tags, the NetScreen device uses IP addresses to sort traffic, associating a subnet or range of IP addresses with a particular system—root or vsys.
To Configure IP ClassificationEnter the necessary information:
System: Select either the root system or a preconfigured virtual system from the drop-down list.
Address Type: Select either Subnet and then enter an IP address and netmask, or Range and enter the beginning and ending IP addresses.
Subnet: Associates the selected system with the IP addresses in the specified subnet.
Range: Associates the selected system with the specified range of IP addresses.
Click OK to save your configuration.
The IP classification table lists all systems (root and virtual) configured for IP classification and the following information about each one:
Vsys: Indicates either the root system or the name of a virtual system.
Type: Indicates that the system uses either a subnet or address range for IP classification.
IPs:
Lists an IP address/netmask
for a subnet
or a range of IP addresses associated with a particular system.
Configure: Click Remove
to delete an IP classification entry.
