FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK
I have two J2320s connected by an Ethernet cable.
The cable is connected to both in their ge-0/0/1 unit 0 interfaces.
One is 192.168.2.5/24 and the other is 192.168.2.13/24
Pings don't work yet both interfaces are up.
Neither Router can ping my Laptop when I had it connected either.
my configurations:
Router1
set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.2.5/24 primary
set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.2.5/24 preferred
Router2
set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.2.13/24 primary
set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.2.13/24 peferred
then I commit them
Pings don't work.
