Network Management and Monitoring

Support for multiple gRPC servers hosting different service sets (ACX7024, ACX7024X, ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7332, ACX7348, ACX7509, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002-36QDD, PTX10003, PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, QFX5130E-32CD, QFX5220, QFX5230-64CD, QFX5700, and QFX5700E)—You can configure multiple gRPC servers that host different sets of services on unique ports. Additionally, each server can support different certificates, listening addresses, and routing instances. You configure the gRPC servers at the [edit system services http servers] hierarchy level. Distributing gRPC services across different servers allows for better allocation of network resources, reducing the risk of port conflicts and optimizing server performance.

Egress Inline sFlow with EP Recirculation and Flex Sampler (QFX5240-64OD and QFX5240-64QD)—You can use the Egress Inline sFlow feature to achieve true egress mirroring through EP Recirculation using an Egress Flex Sampler. When a packet passes through the egress processing pipeline, a copy is sent to a loopback port for a second pass, ensuring all egress changes are mirrored accurately. This feature supports Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) environments, enhancing your network monitoring and diagnostics capabilities.

TAP aggregation (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5220, QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD)—Test access point (TAP) aggregation, similar to port mirroring, is a network monitoring and troubleshooting tool. Unlike port mirroring, TAP aggregation provides many-to-many packet replication, enabling you to capture different types of data in real time so that you quickly see what is happening in your network. You configure the TAP aggregation feature at the [edit forwarding-options tap-aggregation] hierarchy level.
