What's Changed

Learn about what changed in this release for QFX Series Switches.

General Routing

  • When subscribing to the resource path /junos/system/linecard/environment, the prefix for the streamed path at the collector side was displaying as /junos/linecard/environment. This issue is resolved in Junos OS 23.1R1 and Junos OS Evolved 23.1R1 and the subscription path and the streamed path match to display /junos/system/linecard/environment.

EVPN

  • Flow-label configuration status for EVPN ELAN services. The output for the show evpn instance extensive command now displays the flow-label and flow-label-static operational status for a device and not for the routing instances. A device with flow-label enabled supports flow-aware transport (FAT) flow labels and advertises its support to its neighbors. A device with flow-label-static enabled supports FAT flow labels but does not advertise its capabilities.

  • Specify the UDP source port in a ping overlay or traceroute overlay operation — In Junos OS releases prior to 22.4R1, you could not configure the udp source port in a ping overlay or traceroute overlay operation. You may now configure this value in an EVPN-VXLAN environment using hash. The configuration option hash will override any other hash-* options that may be used to determine the source port value.

Network Management and Monitoring

  • operator login class is restricted from viewing NETCONF trace files that are no-world-readable (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—When you configure NETCONF tracing options at the [edit system services netconf traceoptions] hierarchy level and you restrict file access to the file owner by setting or omitting the no-world-readable statement (the default), users assigned to the operator login class do not have permissions to view the trace file.

  • Support for the junos:cli-feature YANG extension (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—The cli-feature YANG extension identifies certain CLI properties associated with some command options and configuration statements. The Junos YANG modules that define the configuration or RPCs include the cli-feature extension statement, where appropriate, in schemas emitted with extensions. This extension is beneficial when a client consumes YANG data models, but for certain workflows, the client needs to generate CLI-based tools.

    [See Understanding the Junos DDL Extensions YANG Module.]

  • XML tag in the get-system-yang-packages RPC reply changed (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—The get-system-yang-packages RPC reply replaces the xmlproxy-yang-modules tag with the proxy-xml-yang-modules tag in the XML output.

  • Changes to the NETCONF server's <rpc-error> element when the operation="delete" operation deletes a nonexistent configuration object (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—We've changed the <rpc-error> response that the NETCONF server returns when the <edit-config> or <load-configuration> operation uses operation="delete" to delete a configuration element that is absent in the target configuration. The error severity is error instead of warning, and the <rpc-error> element includes the <error-tag>data-missing</error-tag> and <error-type>application</error-type> elements.

Routing Protocols

  • Avoid multicast traffic loss on OISM server leaf and border leaf devices in scaled EVPN-VXLAN fabrics (QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700 switches)—You can configure QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700 switches as optimized intersubnet multicast (OISM) server leaf or border leaf devices in an EVPN-VXLAN fabric. In scaled fabrics with many VLANs, EVPN instances, and multicast streams, you might see multicast traffic loss on these devices due to the limited size of the multicast snooping route tables in the PFE. To avoid this problem on QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700 switches with OISM in scaled environments, we require that you configure the conserve-mcast-routes-in-pfe option at the edit multicast-snooping-options oism hierarchy on these platforms. This option is available only on QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700 switches. Use this option when you configure these devices as server leaf or border leaf devices with OISM. Do not configure this option when you configure these devices as standalone assisted replication (AR) replicators with OISM.
