Bare metal server connected to juniper stack

Post by ChrisD » Thu Feb 05, 2026 2:50 pm

Good day all,

Quick question: Can I connect a bare metal Eve-NG server (Dell R430) to an aggregated interface from a Juniper stack? And is it possible to connect those links to a vJunos aggregated interface within Eve? Or am I somewhere limited down the road?

Best regards,
Chris

It's not recommended. Each cloud is a separate Cloud interface and you're trying to merge them such can lead to issues.

Ok, so I separated the 2 interfaces from the stack members into 2 separate interfaces (xe) towards the bare metal server, config empty, lldp interface all. pnet6 and pnet7 (I can see the mac addresses in the bridge table on their interfaces). Now I connect them via Cloud6 and Cloud7 to two vJunos switches, but I can't see LLDP info from either side (connected interfaces on the two vjunos switches with empty config do see each other as lldp neighbors). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
