An error occurred when I set up a VLAN interface on the SRX1600.

The following error occurred:

warning: L2 global mode is switching mode, please add an interface in ethernet-switching mode, or change the L2 global mode!

[edit security zones security-zone trust]

'interfaces irb.0' Interface irb is not allowed in no mode

error: configuration check-out failed

Also, the port is showing as UP, but ping failed.

The below is the global setting of ethernet switching.

Global Configuration:

MAC aging interval : 300

MAC learning : Enabled

MAC statistics : Disabled

MAC limit Count : 65536

MAC limit hit : Disabled

MAC packet action drop: Disabled

MAC+IP aging interval : IPv4 - 1200 seconds IPv6 - 1200 seconds

MAC+IP limit Count : 0

MAC+IP limit reached : No LE aging time : 1200 LE

VLAN aging time : 1200

Global Mode : Switching

RE state : Master

Fast Update : Disabled

Host Pkts GBP src tag : 0

Even Pings to the upstream interface fail when configured with L2NG feature.

On 23.4 junos code, device will allow to configure global mode as Switching Mode, however if we configure irb interfaces or sub-interfaces on AE interfaces, pings wont work on that interface.

SRX1600/2300 in global switching mode with AE interface + vlan-tagging OR flexible-vlan-tagging does not forward any traffic.

L2NG feature is only supported from 24.2R1 junos codes for SRX1600/SRX2300.
