Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3R2 for EX Series switches.

Description

Limit static service filters or API-client filters to term-based filter format only for inet or inet6 families when enhanced network services mode is configured at the [edit chassis network-services] hierarchy level. When used with one of the chassis enhanced network services modes, firewall filters are generated in term-based format for use with MPC modules.

If enhanced network services are not configured for the chassis, the enhanced-mode statement is ignored and any enhanced mode firewall filters are generated in both term-based and, the default, compiled format. Only term-based (enhanced) firewall filters will be generated, regardless of the setting of the enhanced-mode statement at the [edit chassis network-services] hierarchy level, if any of the following are true:

  • Flexible filter match conditions are configured at the [edit firewall family family-name filter filter-name term term-name from] or [edit firewall filter filter-name term term-name from] hierarchy levels.
  • A tunnel header push or pop action, such as GRE encapsulate or decapsulate is configured at the [edit firewall family family-name filter filter-name term term-name then] hierarchy level.
  • Payload-protocol match conditions are configured at the [edit firewall family family-name filter filter-name term term-name from] or [edit firewall filter filter-name term term-name from] hierarchy levels.
  • An extension-header match is configured at the [edit firewall family family-name filter filter-name term term-name from] or [edit firewall filter filter-name term term-name from] hierarchy levels.
  • A match condition is configured that only works with MPC cards, such as firewall bridge filters for IPv6 traffic.

Note: You cannot attach enhanced mode filters to local loopback, management, or MS-DPC interfaces. These interfaces are processed by the Routing Engine kernel and DPC modules and can accept only compiled firewall filter format.
