Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for the QFX Series.

Description

(QFX3600 Node device only) Configure port types on QFX3600 Node devices.

Caution: The Packet Forwarding Engine on the QFX3600 Node device is restarted when you commit the port type configuration changes. As a result, you might experience packet loss on the Node device.
