Known Limitations in JUNOS Software Release 9.5 for J-series Services Routers
Chassis Cluster
For this release of JUNOS software, the following features are not supported when chassis clustering is enabled on the router:
- All packet-based protocols, such as MPLS, Connectionless Network Service (CLNS), and IP version 6 (IPv6)
- Any function that depends on the configurable interfaces:
- lsq-0/0/0—Link services Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP), Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR), and Compressed Real-Time Transport Protocol (CRTP)
- gr-0/0/0—Generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and tunneling
- ip-0/0/0—IP-over-IP (IP-IP) encapsulation
- pd-0/0/0, pe/0/0/0, and mt-0/0/0—All multicast protocols
- lt-0/0/0—Real-time performance monitoring (RPM)
- WXC Integrated Services Module (WXC ISM 200)
- Layer 2 Ethernet switching
- ISDN BRI
Additional limitations include:
- For a J-series chassis cluster, the maximum number of redundancy groups is equal to the number of redundant Ethernet interfaces configured by the user.
- After fabric interfaces have been configured on a chassis cluster, removing the fabric configuration on either node will cause the redundancy group 0 (RG0) secondary node to move to a disabled state. (Resetting a device to the factory default configuration removes the fabric configuration and thereby causes the RG0 secondary node to move to a disabled state.) After the fabric configuration is committed, do not reset either device to the factory default configuration.
- A Fast Ethernet port from a 4-port Ethernet PIM cannot be used as a fabric link port in a chassis cluster.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP)
- On J-series Services Routers, IP actions do not work when users select a timeout value greater than 65535 in IDP policy.
J-Web
- Some J-Web pages for new features (for example, the Quick Configuration page for the switching features on J-series Services Routers) display content in one or more modal pop-up windows. In the modal pop-up windows, you can interact only with the content in the window and not with the rest of the J-Web page. As a result, online help is not available when modal pop-up windows are displayed. You can access the online help for a feature only by clicking the Help button on a J-Web page.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- SNMP NAT related MIB is not supported in this release.
Unified Threat Management (UTM)
- Unified Threat Management (UTM) requires 1 GB of memory. If your J2320, J2350, or J4350 device has only 512 MB of memory, you must upgrade the memory to 1 GB to run UTM.
