[j-nsp] Interface to be used for Trunking & MPLS

[Saba Sumsam]

Hi,
I have an MX-80 acting as a PE router, where ge-1/1/1 is the CE-facing
interface which is connected to the trunk port of a switch. The
configuration looks like this:

[edit interfaces ge-1/1/1]
flexible-vlan-tagging;
encapsulation vlan-ccc;
unit 0 {
    encapsulation vlan-ccc;
    vlan-id-range 700-800;
    family ccc;
}

[edit protocols]
connections remote-interface-switch VLAN700-800 interface ge-1/1/1.0
connections remote-interface-switch VLAN700-800 transmit-lsp LSP_MX
connections remote-interface-switch VLAN700-800 receive-lsp LSP_EX

VLAN range 700-800 is being transported across MPLS to the remote PE
device. The same interface, ge-1/1/1 is also receiving VLAN400 (through the
trunk) but should not be sent via MPLS but to another switch connected to
the MX-80. I tried the following configuration on the same interface:

[edit interfaces ge-1/1/1]
unit 400 {
    family bridge {
        interface-mode trunk;
        vlan-id-list 400;

 'unit 400'
     Link encapsulation type is not valid for device type
error: configuration check-out failed

Any suggestions how to make this work? The same physical interface should
be able to send specific VLANs out over MPLS and others out any other
interfaces.

Regards.
