Junos OS Evolved Release Notes for QFX5220 Devices

 

These release notes accompany Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2 for QFX5220-32CD and QFX5220-128C Switches. They describe new and changed features, limitations, and known and resolved problems in the hardware and software.

What's New

Learn about new features introduced in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2 for the QFX5220.

What’s New in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2

There are no new features or enhancements to existing features for the QFX5220 switches in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2.

What’s New in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1

Class of Service (CoS)

  • Priority-based flow control (PFC) using Differentiated Services code points (DSCP) at Layer 3 for untagged traffic (QFX5220)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1, to support lossless traffic across Layer 3 connections to Layer 2 subnetworks on QFX5220 switches, you can configure PFC to operate using 6-bit DSCP values from Layer 3 headers of untagged VLAN traffic, rather than IEEE 802.1p priority values in Layer 2 VLAN-tagged packet headers. DSCP-based PFC is required to support Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2).

    [See Understanding PFC Using DSCP at Layer 3 for Untagged Traffic.]

Multicast

  • IGMP snooping support (QFX5220)—Starting with Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1, you can configure IGMP snooping.

    Support includes:

    • IGMP snooping with IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3

    • Any-source multicast (ASM) and source-specific multicast (SSM) modes

    • IGMP querier at Layer 2

    Limitations include:

    • IGMP proxy mode is not supported.

    • Devices receiving IGMP group-specific queries on a multicast router interface forward those queries to all other interfaces in the VLAN.

    • Make before break (MBB) is not supported for multicast receivers on existing Layer 2 aggregated ethernet (aex) or link aggregation group (LAG) interfaces, including for member additions, deletions, and link up or down events.

    • The devices forward all unregistered IPv4 and IPv6 multicast packets to the multicast router interfaces in the VLAN even if you configured an interface as a multicast router interface only for IGMP snooping.

    • IGMP snooping using IRB interfaces is not supported.

    • IGMP snooping is not supported in EVPN-VXLAN or EVPN-MPLS networks.

    [See IGMP Snooping Overview.]

What's Changed

Learn about what changed in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2 for the QFX5220.

Changes in CLI Statements and Commands

What’s Changed in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R2

Routing Protocols

  • Advertising /32 secondary loopback addresses to Traffic Engineering Database (TED) as prefixes (PTX Series and QFX Series)—We've made changes to export multiple loopback addresses into lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as prefixes. This eliminates the issue of advertising secondary loopback addresses as router-ids instead of prefixes. In earlier releases, multiple secondary loopback addresses in TED were added into lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as part of node characteristics and advertised them as the router-id.

What’s Changed in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1

General Routing

  • Support for full inheritance paths of configuration groups to be built into the database by default (PTX10003, PTX10008, and QFX5220)—Starting with Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1, the persist-groups-inheritance option at the [edit system commit] hierarchy level is enabled by default. To disable this option, use no-persist-groups-inheritance.

    [See commit (System).]

  • Modified request system storage cleanup command (PTX10003, PTX10008, and QFX5220)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1, the request system storage cleanup command does not remove Junos OS Evolved images from the device. It removes all core files, log files from /var/log/, and all /var/log/* files. To remove old images from the device, use the request system software delete command.

    [See request system storage cleanup and request system software delete.]

Interfaces and Chassis

  • Support for 40-Gbps speed on QSFP28 ports (QFX5220-128C)—The QFX5220-128C consists of 128 high-density 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports. Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 20.2R1, you can configure all the QSFP28 ports to operate at 40-Gbps speed.

    In earlier Junos OS Evolved releases, you can configure 40-Gbps speed only on even-numbered QSFP28 ports.

    [See QFX5220-128C Port Panel.]

Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET)

  • Updates to IDL for RIB service API bandwidth field (PTX10003, PTX10008, and QFX5220)—The Interface Definition Language (IDL) file for the RouteGateway RIB service API has been updated to document additional rules for the bandwidth field. You must set bandwidth only if a next hop has more than one gateway, and if you set it for one gateway on a next hop, you must set it for all gateways. If you set bandwidth when there is only a single usable gateway, it is ignored. If you set bandwidth for one or more gateways but not all gateways on a next hop, you see the error code BANDWIDTH_USAGE_INVALID.

Known Limitations

Interfaces and Chassis

  • QFX5220 does not support mixed-speed aggregated Ethernet. PR1515041

Open Issues

Learn about open issues in this release for the QFX5220. For the most complete and latest information about known Junos OS Evolved defects, use the Juniper Networks online Junos Problem Report Search application.

Class of Service (CoS)

  • On all Junos OS Evolved platforms, the cosd anomalies might be seen if CoS is configured on an interface using wildcard (like et-*, et-1/*/*, ae*, and fti*). These anomalies can cause traffic impact. The issue is due to some out-of-order internal events. PR1494573

Routing Policy and Firewall Filters

  • On QFX5220 platforms with Junos OS Evolved images, when the lo0 firewall filter (inet/inet6) is used, Layer 3 forwarding traffic might be discarded by the lo0 filter. PR1475620

Routing Protocols

  • The virtual-router option is not supported under routing-instance in lean rpd image. PR1494029

System Management

  • CLI changed in Junos OS Evolved 20.1R1 release to align with Junos OS:

    All the boot device options and events that are available at request system shutdown reboot are moved under the request node options.

    Boot device options: usb, network, disk1 and disk2.

    Event options: reboot, halt, power-off, power-on, offline, and online. PR1456037

  • PTP-FPGA access error displayed as PTP-FPGA is not initialized. PR1457094

  • When link goes up or down, Tx/Rx loss of signal alarm from diagnostics optics might take a long time (around 10 minutes) to show up. PR1499741

User Interface and Configuration

  • On QFX5220-32CD, VLANs between 3968 and 4095 are reserved for Layer 3 interfaces by default. So, these VLANs cannot be used for Layer 2 interfaces. As of now there is no commit check added for this purpose. You need to take care of this while configuring VLANs for Layer 2. PR1423468

Resolved Issues
