• Support for CoS and firewall filtering and policing on EVPN-VXLAN network (QFX5240-64OD and QFX5240-64QD).

  [See CoS Support on EVPN VXLANs and Firewall Filter Match Conditions and Actions (QFX and EX Series Switches).]

• Support for sFlow technology on EVPN-VXLAN (QFX5240-64OD and QFX5240-64QD).

  [See Overview of sFlow Technology.]

• Support for port mirroring and analyzers on EVPN-VXLAN (QFX5240-64OD and QFX5240-64QD).

  [See Port Mirroring and Analyzers in an EVPN-VXLAN Environment.]

• Fast reroute for egress link protection (ELP) in EVPN-VXLAN multihoming environments (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130E-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, QFX5700, and QFX5700E).

  [See Fast Reroute for Egress Link Protection with EVPN-VXLAN Multihoming and reroute-address.]

• Simplified configuration for ESI LAGs with EVPN dual homing (EZ-LAG) (QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD).

  [See Easy EVPN LAG (EZ-LAG) Configuration.]

• Separate firmware installation packages (QFX5130, QFX5220, QFX5230, QFX5240, QFX5700). You can manage firmware upgrades using standalone firmware installation packages. The names for these packages begin with the prefix jfirmware-junos-evo-install*. You add a firmware package to the system with the request system software add command. After you've added the firmware package to your system, you update the firmware for a hardware component using the request system firmware upgrade command.

  [See Upgrade Firmware on Junos OS Evolved Devices, Junos OS Evolved Installation Packages, request system software add (Junos OS Evolved), request system firmware upgrade (Junos OS Evolved), and show system firmware (Junos OS Evolved).]

• Supported transceivers, optical interfaces, and DAC cables (QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, QFX5220, QFX5220-32CD, QFX5240-64OD, QFX5240-64QD, QFX5230-64CD, and QFX5700). 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 optical transceiver becomes available.

• Symmetric IRB for IPv6 underlay with EVPN Type 2 MAC-IP routes for intersubnet routing (QFX5130-32CD and QFX5130-48C). You can now use symmetrical integrated routing and bridging (IRB) to forward traffic consistently across all provider edge (PEs) devices. The device carries EVPN Type 2 MAC-IP routes across an IPv6 underlay that provides an ECMP transport for scalable, multitenant Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) connectivity. Each routing instance uses the irb-symmetric-routing vni statement under the protocols evpn hierarchy to maintain symmetrical bridging and routing.

• Support for zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) (QFX5250-64OE-L and QFX5250-64OE-AO).

  [See Zero Touch Provisioning.]

• Support for secure zero-touch provisioning (SZTP) (QFX5250-64OE-L and QFX5250-64OE-AO).

  [See Secure Zero Touch Provisioning.]

• Support for wildcard mask match condition for source-address/destination-address match conditions for inet6 address family (QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD).
