What’s Changed in Release 21.1R1

The jcs:invoke() function supports suppression of root login and logout events in system log files for SLAX event scripts (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—The jcs:invoke() extension function supports the no-login-logout parameter in SLAX event scripts. If you include the parameter, the function does not generate and log UI_LOGIN_EVENT and UI_LOGOUT_EVENT messages when the script logs in as root to execute the specified remote procedure call (RPC). If you omit the parameter, the function behaves as in earlier releases in which the root UI_LOGIN_EVENT and UI_LOGOUT_EVENT messages are included in system log files.

[See invoke() Function (SLAX and XSLT).]

Modification to sync-reset command (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—Starting from this release, the sync-reset command is disabled by default on all the Junos OS Evolved platforms. The Sync-reset command enables the device to send the sync bit in the LACP packets on minimum-link failure. Previously the sync-reset command was enabled by default on QFX Series, while it was by default disabled on PTX Series and ACX series.

Support for specifying the YANG modules to advertise in the NETCONF capabilities and supported schema list (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—You can configure devices to emit third-party, standard, and Junos OS native YANG modules in the capabilities exchange of a NETCONF session by configuring the appropriate statements at the [edit system services netconf hello-message yang-module-capabilities] hierarchy level. In addition, you can specify the YANG schemas that the NETCONF server should include in its list of supported schemas by configuring the appropriate statements at the [edit system services netconf netconf-monitoring netconf-state-schemas] hierarchy level.

[See hello-message and netconf-monitoring.]

Recommendation to include the local-address statement when configuring IBGP and multihop EBGP—When a device peers with a remote device's loopback interface address, use the local-address statement at the [edit protocols bgp group internal-peers] hierarchy to specify the source information in BGP update messages. Although a BGP session can be established when only one of the paired routing devices has local-address configured, we strongly recommend that you configure local-address on both paired routing devices for IBGP and multihop EBGP sessions. The local-address statement ensures that deterministic fixed addresses are used for the BGP session end-points.

[See local-address (Protocols BGP) and BGP Peering Sessions.]

Support for exclude option under file archive (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—The exclude option is added under the command file archive that specifies the file pattern to exclude. This option helps to exclude files that delay compression or files that do not require compression.
