What's Changed

Starting from Junos 21.4R1 platforms with the following Routing Engines which have Intel CPUs with microcode version 0x35 observe the error warning, "000: Firmware Bug: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x3a (or later)" on the console. RE-S-X6-64G RE-S-X6-128G REMX2K-X8-64G RE-PTX-X8-64G RE-MX2008-X8-64G RE-MX2008-X8-128G

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 protocols mvpn hot-root-standby min-rate.

For MPC5E line card with flexible-queuing-mode enabled, queue resources are shared between scheduler block 0 and 1. Resource monitor CLI output displays an equal distribution of the total available and used queues between scheduler blocks. This correctly represents the queue availability to the routing engine.

By default, host-generated outbound PTP traffic is assigned to the default network control (NC) forwarding class, which is assigned to queue 3 by default. You can change both the forwarding class and queue assignment for host outbound traffic.

[See Changing the Default Queuing and Marking of Host Outbound Traffic.]

Enhancement to fix output with Junos PyEz for duplicate keys in PKI (MX Series, SRX Series, EX Series)—In earlier releases, though the CLI output displayed all the duplicate keys for the corresponding hash algorithms in PKI using show security pki local-certificate detail | display json command, for the same requested data, Junos PyEz displayed the last key only. Starting this release, the CLI output and the PyEz displays all the duplicate keys with the enhanced tags.

In a firewall filter configured with a port-mirror-instance or port-mirror action, if l2-mirror action is also configured, then port-mirroring instance family should be any. In the absence of the l2-mirror action, port-mirroring instance family should be the firewall filter family.

Support added for interface-group match condition for MPLS firewall filter family.

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.

Support added for interface-group match condition for MPLS firewall filter family.

Commit script input to identify software upgrades during boot time (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, and vSRX)—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.]

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.]

Compact format deprecated for JSON-formatted state data (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, and vSRX)—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.
