Symptoms

# set logical-systems VRF services service-sets

                     ^

syntax error.


xe-0/0/2.35 interface is not exist in global instance.


Solution

When we try to configure URLF using SPC3 card, client and server-interfaces should be in the global instance.

We don't support MX-SPC3 on logical systems , and we cannot configure service-sets under logical-system.
