[See show system errors active.]

    Routing policy

    • Unicast reverse path forwarding (unicast RPF) support for IPv4 and IPv6. You can reduce the impact of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks for IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces by configuring unicast RPF. You can use unicast RPF to determine the source of attacks and reject packets from unexpected source addresses on interfaces. However, we do not support unicast RPF checking for:

      • Transit packets exiting a tunnel source interface
      • Asymmetrical routing

      [See Understanding Unicast RPF (Routers).]

    Services applications

    • Support for RFC 5357, Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) monitoring service. You can configure the TWAMP monitoring service, which sends out probes to measure network performance. You often use TWAMP to check compliance with service-level agreements. In Junos OS Evolved, you configure TWAMP at the [edit services monitoring twamp] hierarchy level.

      The support for this service is limited to the following:

      • IPv4 traffic only for control sessions and test sessions
      • Probe statistics and history
      • Control and test session status
      • Test session probe generation and reception, as well as reflection
      • Timestamps set by the Routing Engine or the Packet Forwarding Engine
      • Error reporting through system log messages only
      • Unauthenticated mode only
      [See Understanding Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol on Routers.]

      • family inet only
      • IPv4 source and destination addresses
      • Software-based reflection, with a maximum frame rate for the traffic flows of 1000 kbps

      You use the RFC 2544 benchmarking tests to measure and demonstrate the service-level agreement (SLA) parameters before service activation. The tests measure throughput, latency, frame loss rate, and number of back-to-back frames.

      You can configure these tests at the [edit services monitoring rfc2544] hierarchy level. [See RFC 2544-Based Benchmarking Tests Overview.]

    Software installation and upgrade

    • Support for either WAN interfaces or management interfaces to automatically download and install the appropriate software and the configuration file on your device during the ZTP bootstrap process. [See Zero Touch Provisioning.]

    Timing and synchronization

    • Support for enhanced Ethernet equipment clock (eEEC). Enhanced EEC enables new clocks to operate with different quality levels defined in the Synchronous Ethernet chain.

      To enable enhanced EEC on your router, configure the enable-extended-ql-tlv statement at the [edit chassis synchronization] hierarchy level.

      The ACX7100-32C supports the following new clock quality levels for enhanced EEC:

      • Enhanced primary reference time clock (ePRTC)
      • Primary reference time clock (PRTC)
      • Enhanced primary reference clock (ePRC)
      • Enhanced Ethernet equipment clock (eEEC)

      [See enable-extended-ql-tlv, Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel Overview, and synchronization (ACX Series).]

    • Support for Synchronous Ethernet with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Transparent Clock. The transparent clock measures the residence time of PTP packets as the packets pass through the router. The network load and device architecture might result in queuing or buffering delays. These delays are the main source of packet delay variation in the router.

      Transparent clock adds the residence time into the correction field of the PTP packet. The client or boundary clocks can determine this resident time while they receive the PTP packet from the upstream transparent clock router. The client clock can estimate and remove these delays from the offset computation and reduce the packet’s jitter effects.

      In syntonized transparent clock, the transparent clock requires physical layer frequency based on the ITU-T G.8262/.1 standard. Synchronous Ethernet configuration is mandatory for enabling syntonized transparent clock.

      Use the show protocols ptp and show ptp global-information commands to verify the PTP transparent clock configuration status.

      To enable PTP transparent clock on your router, configure syntonized-e2e-transparent statement at the [edit protocols ptp] hierarchy level.

      See [Understanding Transparent Clocks in Precision Time Protocol and show ptp global-information.]

Each EVI can support a different EVPN service type (vlan-based, vlan-aware, or vlan-bundle). The switch creates and uses one virtual tunnel endpoint (VTEP) logical interface per remote provider edge (PE) device by default, regardless of the number of routing instances. This implementation improves VXLAN VTEP scaling with multiple routing instances. EVPN-VXLAN support on this switch includes:
      • External BGP (EBGP) and internal BGP (IBGP) overlays.
      • Single-homing and all-active multihoming.

    IP tunneling

    Juniper extension toolkit

    L2 features

    • Support for L2 control protocols: xSTP, LACP, and LLDP.

      [See Ethernet Switching User Guide.]

    • Support for these L2 features:

      • Enhanced L2 Software (ELS)
      • 802.1D
      • 802.1Q VLAN tagging
      • 802.1Q VLAN trunking
      • 802.1p
      • Routed VLAN interface (RVI)
      • MAC address aging configuration
      • Static MAC address assignment for an interface
      • Disable MAC learning

      [See Ethernet Switching User Guide.]

    MPLS

    RSVP-Traffic Engineering (TE) supports preempting secondary label-switched paths (LSPs) that are signaled but not active.

    [See RSVP Overview.]

    Multicast

    • Support for these multicast forwarding features:

      • IPv4 and IPv6 multicast
      • IGMP
      • Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol
      • Protocol Independent Multicast source-specific multicast (PIM SSM)
      • Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM SM)
        Note:

        Support does not extend to features beyond those listed above. In this release, IGMP snooping, MLD snooping, multicast virtual private network (MVPN) Multicast, PIM multicast-only fast reroute (MoFRR), PIM first hop router (FHR), rendezvous point (RP), and last hop router (LHR) are not supported. In addition, the IRB interface is not supported as either a source or as a receiver. Make-before-break (MBB) is not supported for existing L3 aggregated Ethernet (AE) or LAG receivers (member addition/deletions or up/downs).

      [See Multicast Overview.]

    • Support for these IGMP snooping with IRB features:

      • IGMP V1, V2, and V3 with plain L2 snooping with IRB (only if device acts as an LHR)
      • Proxy mode
      • Enterprise-style CLI only
      • Any-source multicast (ASM) and source-specific multicast (SSM) modes

      Limitations include:

      • IGMP group-specific queries received on a multicast-router interface are forwarded to all other interfaces in the VLAN.
      • MBB on existing L2aggregated Ethernet or LAG interfaces, including for member additions, deletions, and link up or down events.
      • All unregistered IPv4 and IPv6 multicast packets are forwarded to the multicast router interfaces in the VLAN, even if an interface is configured as a multicast router interface only for IGMP snooping.
      • Neither MLD snooping, PIM snooping, snooping with VPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, nor EVPN-MPLS is supported.

    Routing policy and firewall filters

    Routing protocols
    • Support for Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) and L3 sub-interface features—The QFX5700 line of switches supports these UFT and L3 sub-interface features:

      The UFT feature enables you to allocate forwarding table resources to optimize the memory available for different address types based on the needs of your network. The UFT stores both the L2 and L3 entries that enable you to set default sizes for different entries.

      These applications share UFT search banks:

      • L2 MAC addresses.
      • IPv4 and IPv6 host routes.
      • L2 and L3 multicast routes.
      • IPv4 and IPv6 longest prefix match (LPM) or prefix entries that are supported in UFT through algorithmic longest prefix match (ALPM).

      [See forwarding-options.]

    • Support for redistribution of IPv4 routes with IPv6 next hop into BGP.

      [See Understanding Redistribution of IPv4 Routes with IPv6 Next Hop into BGP.]
