What's Changed

Change in options and generated configuration for the EZ-LAG configuration IRB subnet-address statement—With the EZ-LAG subnet-address inet or subnet-address inet6 options at the edit services evpn evpn-vxlan irb irb-instance hierarchy, you can now specify multiple IRB subnet addresses in a single statement using the list syntax addr1 addr2 ?. Also, in the generated configuration for IRB interfaces, the commit script now includes default router-advertisement statements at the edit protocols hierarchy level for that IRB interface.

[See subnet-address (Easy EVPN LAG Configuration).]

Option to disable path MTU discovery—Path MTU discovery is enabled by default. To disable it for IPv4 traffic, you can configure the no-path-mtu-discovery statement at the edit system internet-options hierarchy level. To reenable it, use the path-mtu-discovery statement.

[See Path MTU Discovery.]

ACX7509: In the CLI using the command request chassis feb slot slot-number offline if you make the primary FEB offline, a traffic loss warning message is displayed and the FEB offline request is rejected. If offline or restart is still intended for primary FEB, use force option in addition to the command. WARNING message displayed in the CLI: warning: RCB and FEB work in the paired slot mode. FEB %s offline/restart will result in traffic loss and does not cause a switchover. Please re-try after initiating a mastership switchover using request chassis routing-engine master switch CLI.

Ability to commit extension-service file configuration when application file is unavailable—When you set the optional option at the edit system extension extension-service application file file-name hierarchy level, the operating system can commit the configuration even if the file is not available at the /var/db/scripts/jet file path.

Changes to the RPC response for <validate> operations in RFC-compliant NETCONF sessions (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—When you configure the <rfc-compliant> statement at the [edit system services netconf] hierarchy level, the NETCONF server emits only an <ok/> or <rpc-error> element in response to <validate> operations. In earlier releases, the RPC reply also includes the <commit-results> element.

NETCONF <copy-config> operations support a file:// URI for copy to file operations (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—The NETCONF <copy-config> operation supports using a file:// URI when <url> is the target and specifies the absolute path of a local file.

[See <copy-config>.]

Previously, shaping of Layer 2 pseudowires did not work on logical tunnel interfaces. This has been fixed for all platforms except QX chip-based MICs and MPCs.

In Junos OS Evolved platforms, show route snooping and show route forwarding-table does not show /56 routes in the VPLS address family table.

In older Junos Releases, Data Definition Language (DDL) lists were ordered by the sequence in which the user configured the list items, for example a series of static routes. With this change, the list order is determined by the system with items displayed in numerical sequence rather than by the order in which the items were configured. There is no functional impact to this change.

Viewing files with the file compare files command requires users to have maintenance permission — The file compare files command in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved requires a user to have a login class with maintenance permission.
