What’s Changed in Release 22.1R1

General Routing

  • No support for PKI operational mode commands on the Junos Limited version (MX Series routers, PTX Series routers, and SRX Series devices)—We do not support request , show , and clear PKI-related operational commands on the limited encryption Junos image ("Junos Limited"). If you try to execute PKI operational commands on a limited encryption Junos image, then an appropriate error message is displayed. The pkid process does not run on Junos Limited version image. Hence, the limited version does not support any PKI-related operation.

Junos OS API and Scripting

  • The <request-system-zeroize> RPC response indicates when the device successfully initiates the requested operation (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—When the <request-system-zeroize> RPC successfully initiates the zeroize operation, the device emits the <system-zeroize-status>zeroizing re0</system-zeroize-status> response tag to indicate that the process has started. If the device fails to initiate the zeroize operation, the device does not emit the <system-zeroize-status> response tag.

Interfaces and Chassis

  • Display the donor details of the IPv6 borrower interface? The output for the show interfaces command now displays the donor details of the IPv6 borrower interface.

    [See show interfaces .]

Layer 2 Ethernet Services

  • New output fields for subscriber management statistics (MX Series)—If you enable the enhanced subscriber management, the non-DHCPv4 bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) requests might not get processed even if you configure the DHCP relay or server with the overrides bootp-support statement at the edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay hierarchy level. To monitor the DHCP transmit and receive packet counters, we've introduced the following output fields for show system subscriber-management statistics dhcp extensive operational command. - BOOTP boot request packets received - BOOTP boot reply packets received - BOOTP boot request packets transmitted - BOOTP boot reply packets transmitted

    [See show system subscriber-management statistics.]

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Management and Monitoring

  • Junos XML protocol Perl modules deprecated (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—We no longer provide the Junos XML protocol Perl client for download. To use Perl to manage Junos devices, use the NETCONF Perl library instead.

    [See Understanding the NETCONF Perl Client and Sample Scripts.]

  • Changes when deactivating or deleting instances of the ephemeral configuration database (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—The following changes apply when you deactivate or delete ephemeral database instances in the static configuration database:
    • When you deactivate the entire [edit system configuration-database ephemeral] hierarchy level, the device deletes the files and corresponding configuration data for all user-defined ephemeral instances. In earlier releases, the files and configuration data are preserved; however, the configuration data is not merged with the static configuration database.

    • When you delete an ephemeral instance in the static configuration database, the instance's configuration files are also deleted. In earlier releases, the configuration files are preserved.

    • You can delete the files and corresponding configuration data for the default ephemeral database instance by configuring the delete-ephemeral-default statement in conjunction with the ignore-ephemeral-default statement at the [edit system configuration-database ephemeral] hierarchy level.

    [See Enable and Configure Instances of the Ephemeral Configuration Database.]

  • Support for automatically synchronizing an ephemeral instance configuration upon committing the instance (EX Series, MX Series, MX Series Virtual Chassis, PTX Series, QFX Series, and vMX)—You can configure an ephemeral database instance to synchronize its configuration to the other Routing Engine every time you commit the ephemeral instance on a dual Routing Engine device or an MX Series Virtual Chassis. To automatically synchronize the instance when you commit it, include the synchronize statement at the [edit system commit] hierarchy level in the ephemeral instance's configuration.

    [See Commit and Synchronize Ephemeral Configuration Data Using the NETCONF or Junos XML Protocol.]

Routing Protocols

  • To achieve consistency among resource paths, the resource path /mpls/signalling-protocols/segment-routing/aggregate-sid-counters/aggregate-sid-counter ip-addr='address'/state/counters name='name'/out-pkts/ is changed to /mpls/signaling-protocols/segment-routing/aggregate-sid-counters/aggregate-sid-counter ip-addr='address'/state/counters name='name'/. The leaf "out-pkts" is removed from the end of the path, and "signalling" is changed to "signaling" (with one "l").

User Interface and Configuration

  • Load JSON configuration data with unordered list entries (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—The Junos schema requires that list keys precede any other siblings within a list entry and appear in the order specified by the schema. Junos devices provide two options to load JSON configuration data that contains unordered list entries:

    • Use the request system convert-json-configuration operational mode command to produce JSON configuration data with ordered list entries before loading the data on the device.

    • Configure the reorder-list-keys statement at the [edit system configuration input format json] hierarchy level. After you configure the statement, you can load JSON configuration data with unordered list entries, and the device reorders the list keys as required by the Junos schema during the load operation.

    When you configure the reorder-list-keys statement, the load operation can take significantly longer to parse the configuration, depending on the size of the configuration and number of lists. Therefore, for large configurations or configurations with many lists, we recommend using the request system convert-json-configuration command instead of the reorder-list-keys statement.
