Additional Features

We've extended support for the following features to these platforms.

• BGP autodiscovery underlay in EVPN-VXLAN (ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5130-32CD, QFX5700, and QFX5220)

  [See BGP Auto-Discovered Neighbors.]

• BGP link bandwidth community (QFX5130-48CM) BGP can communicate link speeds to remote peers, enabling better optimization of traffic distribution for load balancing.

  [See auto-sense, and group (Protocols BGP).]

• EVPN-VXLAN L2 gateway and ARP suppression (QFX5230-64CD). For Layer 2 (L2) gateway support, we've added the overlay configuration statement under system packet-forwarding-options. Use the overlay statement options to set the size of the overlay interfaces and next hops to ensure optimal resource allocation based on network requirements.

  [See Understanding EVPN with VXLAN Data Plane Encapsulation, EVPN Proxy ARP and ARP Suppression, and overlay (Packet Forwarding Options).]

• Inband Flow Analyzer (IFA) 2.0 transit node support (QFX5240-64OD and QFX5240-64QD)

  [See Inband Flow Analyzer (IFA) 2.0 Probe for Real-Time Flow Monitoring.]

• L2PT with Q-in-Q over VXLAN tunnels in EVPN-VXLAN bridged overlay networks (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, and QFX5700). Support includes additional protocol options to tunnel the STP family of protocols:

  • STP, Multiple STP (MSTP), and Rapid STP (RSTP)—stp option

  • Per-VLAN STP (PVSTP) and PVSTP Plus (PVSTP+)—pvstp option)

  • VLAN STP (VSTP)—vstp option

  [See Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling over VXLAN Tunnels in EVPN-VXLAN Bridged Overlay Networks, Examples: Tunneling Q-in-Q Traffic in an EVPN-VXLAN Overlay Network, and l2pt (Destination Tunnels).]

• Minimum ECMP(QFX5130-48CM). We support conditional advertising and withdrawal of BGP routes based on certain constraints such as bandwidth and minimum available next-hop ECMP. You can configure a BGP export policy to withdraw a BGP route unless it receives the BGP route prefix from a minimum number of ECMP BGP peers.

• Non-revertive preference-based EVPN DF Election (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, and QFX5700)

  [See EVPN Multihoming Designated Forwarder Election, preference (DF Election), df-election-type.]

• Statically identify multihoming peer OISM leaf devices in an EVPN-VXLAN network running enhanced OISM (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, and QFX5700). The statement to identify an optimized intersubnet multicast (OISM) device’s multihoming peers changes with this release from multihoming-peer-gateways at the [edit protocols evpn] hierarchy level to static-multihoming-peer at the [edit protocols evpn] hierarchy level. The multihoming-peer-gateways statement isn't available anymore.

  [See Statically Identify Multihoming Peers With Enhanced OISM To Improve Convergence and static-multihoming-peer.]

• [See Configuring Q-in-Q Tunneling and Q-in-Q Tunneling and VLAN Translation.]

• Supported transceivers, optical interfaces, and DAC cables—Select your product in the Hardware Compatibility Tool to view supported transceivers, optical interfaces, and direct attach copper (DAC) cables for your platform or interface module. We update the HCT and provide the first supported release information when the optic becomes available.

• Support for centralized and inline BFD (QFX5130E-32CD)

  [See Understanding How BFD Detects Network Failures.]

• Wake-on-LAN (WOL) targeted broadcast support for EVPN-VXLAN (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130E-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, and QFX5700)

  [See Targeted Broadcast and targeted-broadcast.]

• WRED drop counter for ECN telemetry (QFX5220, QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD)

  [See CoS Explicit Congestion Notification, Example: Configuring Static and Dynamic ECN, and show interfaces queue.]
