How to configure Juniper Switch interface to receive an IP address via DHCP - Basic Networking

Topology:

In this example, let's configure the interface xe-0/0/10 to receive an IP from the DHCP Server which is the Home Router in this case.

To add the Home Router to the topology, right click on the Lab page and select Network

Select the type Management(Cloud0)

Virtual Machine Network Adapter settings.

Switch Configurations

root@vqfx-re> configure 

root@vqfx-re# set interfaces xe-0/0/10 unit 0 family inet dhcp 

Verify whether an IP Address is received by the Interface.

root@vqfx-re> show interfaces xe-0/0/10.0 terse 

Interface         Admin Link Proto  Local            Remote

xe-0/0/10.0       up    up   inet   192.168.8.103/24

root@vqfx-re> show configuration interfaces xe-0/0/10.0 

family inet {

    dhcp;

}

Let's Ping and confirm the connectivity between the Switch and the Home Router. The IP address of the Home Router is 192.168.8.1

root@vqfx-re> ping 192.168.8.1
