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

[James Jun]

Hey ras, thanks for your reply :)

The show route commands look pretty normal to me (I've pasted output below),
the direct/local routes pertinent to the 10.10.255.192/30 subnet are there.
I was running JUNOS 9.0R2 earlier when I first posted this message, but
upgraded it just now to 9.1R1.8. Unfortunately the problem persists :-(

FWIW, on the Cisco side, I have it connected to a GLC-T SFP (for copper
gig-e).  Thinking that it may be a bad sfp or line card at Cisco side, I
configured a 2nd interface (ge-0/0/2.0 on the EX) headed out to a different,
second Cat6500 unit.  But it's exhibiting exact same problem on that 2nd
interface as well (routes installed, link is up/up, negotiated as 1000BaseT
but unable to ping across; getting sendto: Network is down message at EX
end). 

In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and open a JTAC case and also try
setting it up as a layer-2 access port with an L3 vlan on top of it to see
if it does anything different..


Thanks,
james
