Unsupported Features
The E-series Release 6.1.0 documentation set describes some features that are present in the code but that have not yet been fully qualified by Juniper Networks. These features will be fully tested and supported in a future release. We expect these features to behave as documented; however, if you use any of these features before they have been fully qualified, it is your responsibility to ensure that the feature operates correctly in your targeted configuration.
The following features are present but unsupported in this release.
B-RAS
The E-series router's embedded SDX client uses the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) protocol layer connection to interact with the Juniper Networks SDX application, enabling the SDX application to manage policy configuration.
The SDX client's COPS interface has been enhanced to be in full compliance with the COPS Usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR) standard (RFC 3084) for communications between the client and a policy decision point, such as the SDX application. The enhancements provide support for the proprietary policy information base (PIB). The previous COPS interface, which uses a solution based on the External Data Representation Standard (XDR), continues to be supported.
The sscc enable command has been modified to include the cops-pr option to enable the COPS-PR support.
QoS
You can use the shared-shaping-rate compound command to configure compound shared shaping to control bandwidth for all scheduler objects associated with the subscriber logical interface. The compound shared shaper can manage voice and video queues in addition to data queues, so that the shared rate cannot be exceeded.
Compound shared shaping can shape scheduler nodes in addition to scheduler queues. This capability makes it possible to implement hierarchical shared shaping by configuring shared shaping on VP nodes and simultaneously configure shared shaping for the VC queues stacked above the node. Compound shared shaping responds to changes in traffic rates more rapidly than simple shared shaping, on the order of milliseconds.
You can let the router implicitly select the constituents of the shared shaper, or you can explicitly select the constituents by issuing the explicit-constituents keyword when you set the compound shared-shaping rate. The shared-shaping-constituent command enables you to identify specific explicit constituents. Use the same command to set attributes for both implicit and explicit constituents that determine how bandwidth is allocated among the constituents.
You can use the show qos shared-shaper command to display information about the shared shapers configured on your router.
Stateful SRP Switchover (High Availability)
The stateful SRP switchover feature has not been qualified for the following applications:
