What's Changed

OISM SBD bit in EVPN Type 3 route multicast flags extended community—In EVPN Type 3 Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET) route advertisements for interfaces associated with the supplemental bridge domain (SBD) in an EVPN optimized intersubnet multicast (OISM) network, we now set the SBD bit in the multicast flags extended community. We set this bit for interoperability with other vendors, and to comply with the IETF draft standard for OISM, draft-ietf-bess-evpn-irb-mcast .

[See the description of the show route table bgp.evpn.0 ? extensive command in CLI Commands to Verify the OISM configuration.]

New commit check for MAC-VRF routing instances with the encapsulate-inner-vlan statement configured—We introduced a new commit check that prevents you from configuring an IRB interface and the encapsulate-inner-vlan statement together in a MAC-VRF routing instance. Please correct or remove these configurations prior to upgrading to 23.2R2 or newer to avoid a configuration validation failure during the upgrade.

[See encapsulate-inner-vlan.]

Starting in Junos OS Release 24.2R1, when you run the run show lldp local-information interface <interface-name> | display xml command, the output is displayed under the lldp-local-info root tag and in the lldp-local-interface-info container tag. When you run the run show lldp local-information interface | display xml command, the lldp-tlv-filter and lldp-tlv-select information are displayed under the lldp-local-interface-info container tag in the output.

Non-revertive switchover for sender based MoFRR— In earlier Junos releases, source-based MoFRR ensured that the traffic reverted to the primary path from the backup path, when the primary path or session was restored. This reversion could result in traffic loss. Starting in Junos OS 22.4R3-S1, source-based MoFRR will not revert to the primary path, i.e. traffic will continue to flow through the backup path as long as the traffic flow rate on the backup path does not go below the configured threshold set under the protocols mvpn hot-root-standby min-rate command.

Show active forwarding session for sender based MoFRR— The show multicast route extensive command will show the active forwarding session in the case of source-based MoFRR. The field Session Status: Up & Forwarding will indicate that the particular session is currently forwarding traffic.

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..]

Increase in revert-delay timer range— The revert-delay timer range is increased to 600 seconds from 20 seconds.

[See min-rate.]
