What's Changed

Learn about what changed in this release for ACX Series routers.

Authentication and Access Control

  • Disabled CDN auto download (Junos OS Evolved)— The PKI process periodically, by default every 24 hours, polls the CDN server for the latest default trusted CA bundle and updates the list for any changes to the trusted CAs in the bundle. If there are any changes, PKI process loads them in the background. The auto download of CA certificates might generate core files. We've disabled the service of PKI query to CDN server periodically to download the latest trusted CA bundle.

  • On Junos OS Evolved, password authentication for SCP based configuration archival is supported.

EVPN

  • EVPN system log messages for CCC interface up and down events—Devices will now log EVPN and EVPN-VPWS interface up and down event messages for interfaces configured with circuit cross-connect (CCC) encapsulation types. You can look for error messages with message types EVPN_INTF_CCC_DOWN and EVPN_INTF_CCC_UP in the device system log file (/var/log/syslog).

Junos Telemetry Interface

  • The show agent sensors command output for gRPC sensors is truncated on the Junos OS Evolved platform to align with the output format of the Junos OS platform.

Junos XML API and Scripting

  • Commit script input to identify software upgrades during boot time (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—The junos-context node-set includes the sw-upgrade-in-progress tag. Commit scripts can test the sw-upgrade-in-progress tag value to determine if the commit is taking place during boot time and a software upgrade is in progress. The tag value is yes if the commit takes place during the first reboot after a software upgrade, software downgrade, or rollback. The tag value is no if the device is booting normally.

    [See Global Parameters and Variables in Junos OS Automation Scripts.]

PTP (Precision Time Protocol)

  • Maximum limit of PTP local masters (PTX10008)— You can configure up to 512 PTP masters at the edit protocols ptp master interface interface-name multicast-mode hierarchy level on PTX10008 series routers. Earlier the system was rejecting the commit while trying to configure more than 128 PTP masters.

Routing Protocols

  • Update to IGMP snooping membership command options— The instance option is now visible when issuing the show igmp snooping membership ? command. Earlier, the instance option was available but not visible when ? was issued to view all possible completions for the show igmp snooping membership command.

    [See show igmp snooping membership.]

  • MLD snooping proxy and l2-querier source-address (ACX7024, ACX7100-32C, PTX10001-36MR, QFX5120-32C, and QFX5130-32CD)— The source-address configured for proxy and l2-querier under the mld-snooping hierarchy should be an IPv6 link-local address in the range of fe80::/64. The CLI help text has been updated to "Source IPv6 link local address to use for proxy/L2 querier". In earlier releases, the CLI help text read, "Source IP address to use for proxy/L2 querier."

    [See source-address.]

User Interface and Configuration

  • Compact format deprecated for JSON-formatted state data (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—We've removed the compact option at the [edit system export-format state-data json] hierarchy level because Junos devices no longer support emitting JSON-formatted state data in compact format.

  • Access privileges for request support information command (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—The request support information command is designed to generate system information for troubleshooting and debugging purposes. Users with the specific access privileges maintenance, view, and view-configuration can execute request support information command.
