EVPN
-
Pseudowire status display update in show evpn vpws-instance output—For EVPN-VPWS pseudowire interfaces configured with
protocols ccc, the Pseudowire field in theshow evpn vpws-instancecommand output now displays the correct corresponding pseudowire status value Not Present when the local logical interface for the pseudowire connection is not present. Previously, this field still displayed the value CCC-Up even when the Status output field showed the local interface was not present.[See show evpn vpws-instance.]
General Routing
-
New option for debug collector data storage path—We've included the option
outdirto specify an output directory for storing debug collector data in a customised path. This allows you to organise and access diagnostic information more efficiently, adapting storage to your specific requirements.[See request system debug-info.]
-
When you run the request vmhost zeroize command to zeroize a single Routing Engine on a dual Routing Engine device, the CLI incorrectly displays a message indicating that it will zeroize both Routing Engines.
-
A new counter
Sessions hit due to high rateis added toshow services service-sets screen-session-limit-counterscommand for all subscriber traffic. This counter tracks the sessions that come up on the screen irrespective of thealarm-without-dropconfiguration. Whenalarm-without-dropoption is disabled, all the counters display updated statistics. Whenalarm-without-dropis enabled, then:-
The screen-drop counters on
show services service-sets screen-session-limit-counterscommand do not increase. -
The
Sessions hit due to high ratevalue is displayed.

Layer 2 Ethernet Services
-
New file path for customer binding information—The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) local server or relay agent now stores customer binding information to a file in /var/db. Previously, the file was stored in /var/preserve, which was not secured. To restore the customer binding information after an upgrade or reboot, choose one of the following approaches: -Before upgrading, copy the file from /var/preserve to /var/db. -After upgrading, copy the file from /var/preserve to /var/db and run the
request dhcp restore-persistent-clients from-filecommand.[See Configuring DHCP Local Server to Preserve Subscriber Binding Information.]PR1934180
Routing Protocols
-
Supports static route configurations with /32 host addresses—Static Route Configuration with /32 host addresses allows configuring static routes using an interface as the next-hop, even if the interface has a /32 netmask. This change is significant for network administrators managing static routes in environments where interfaces are often assigned /32 addresses. Routes configured in this manner will now commit successfully, removing previous limitations. Example for CLI commands of static routes that uses an interface addresses as next-hop: set routing-options static route 45.63.100.176/32 next-hop et-0/0/32.0 set interfaces et-0/0/32 unit 0 family inet address 169.254.255.32/32.

User Interface and Configuration
-
Access privileges for request support information command (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series,QFX Series, SRX Series Firewalls, and vSRX Virtual Firewall)—The
request support informationcommand is designed to generate system information for troubleshooting and debugging purposes. Users with the specific access privilegesmaintenance,view, andview-configurationcan execute request support information command. -
Changes to the
show system storagecommand output (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—We've updated theshow system storagecommand output to include only true (physical) storage and exclude any host/hypervisor level storage. In earlier releases, the output also includes a container/jail storage, which does not have a separate storage of its own.[See show system storage.]
-
Option to view combined disk space usage statistics for all configuration databases (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, and vSRX)—The
show system configuration database usagecommand provides themergeoption. When you include themergeoption, the command output displays combined disk space usage statistics for all configuration databases, including the static configuration database and all ephemeral configuration database instances.
