[j-nsp] Interface without 'family ethernet-switching' possible on EX series?

[James Jun]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a plain routed IP port (in other words, the interface is
not a switching port (i.e. 'no switchport' command for Cisco catalyst
switches)) connection between an EX3200-24T device and a Cisco Cat6500
device.  Both sides see the interface up/up and I can even see the MAC
address of remote sides in arp table, but attempting to ping the Cisco from
the Juniper EX shows "sendto: Network is down"

Any ideas?  Are you not allowed to use 'family inet' on a built-in copper
gig-e port for EX series? Do you have to always use 'family
ethernet-switching' and configure IP addresses on a vlan logical interface?

Thanks in advance,
james
