What's Changed
Learn about what changed in this release for ACX Series routers.
General Routing
-
SSH key options for user account credentials. You can configure key-options key-options option at the
set system login user user authentication [ssh-rsa|ssh-ecdsa|ssh-ed25519] ssh keyhierarchy level.[See login.]
-
Displays the event log of learned MAC addresses. By default mac-learning-logs are stored in UTC timestamps. To view the logs in system timezone, use the show ethernet-switching mac-learning-log use-system-timezone command. The show ethernet-switching mac-learning-log use-system-timezone command also prints the time zone abbreviations [IST, UTC, etc] in the timestamp. To view the logs in system timezone by default by using the show ethernet-switching mac-learning-log command, you need to configure the system-timezone statement at the [edit protocols l2-learning mac-learning-log] hierarchy level.
-
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.
-
Deprecated license trace (Junos OS Evolved)—We've deprecated the CLI option
show system license liblicense-trace. -
On the MPC7E-10G line card, when you configure the 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports to operate as 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports, use the speed statement at both the edit interfaces <interface name> gigether-options and edit interfaces interface <name hierarchy> levels.
-
Control Maximum 802.1X Client Connections per Interface—By default, dot1x interfaces configured in multiple supplicant mode have a client limit of 100 authenticated connections per interface. Any additional connection attempts beyond this limit will be automatically blocked.
-
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.]
Network Management and Monitoring
-
Deprecation of shell option—The
shelloption no longer requires a separate configuration and is now the default behavior. Deprecating theshelloption enhances efficiency and simplifies management tasks.
Platform and Infrastructure
-
Tacacs authorisation support for local authentication without password-Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 25.4R1, you need not configure password under edit system authentication-order to enable password-options.
-
Commit validation for unique user IDs—We have added support to validate the user configuration to ensure that each user is assigned a unique UID. A commit fails if duplicate UIDs are detected, ensuring stronger validation and preventing identity conflicts. Previously, a commit was successful even when multiple users shared the same UID, triggering only a warning and logging a syslog message.
User Interface and Configuration
-
Generate genstate YANG modules on Junos devices—You can use
show system schemaoperational command or equivalent RPC to generate the genstate YANG modules in the specified output directory on a device.[See show system schema.]
