What’s Changed in Release 21.4R1

EVPN

  • Output for show Ethernet switching flood extensive—The output for show ethernet-switching flood extensive now displays the correct next-hop type for Virtual Ethernet and WAN mesh group in an EVPN-VXLAN network as unilist. Previously, the output for show ethernet-switching flood extensive would misidentify the next-hop type as composite.

General Routing

  • The range for source-pfe and destination-pfe at show class-of-service fabric statistics is now 0-15 (depending on platform type).

  • No support for PKI operational mode commands on the Junos Limited version (MX Series routers, PTX Series routers, and SRX Series devices)—We do not support request , show , and clear PKI-related operational commands on the limited encryption Junos image ("Junos Limited"). If you try to execute PKI operational commands on a limited encryption Junos image, then an appropriate error message is displayed. The pkid process does not run on Junos Limited version image. Hence, the limited version does not support any PKI-related operation.

  • Renamed veriexec-check option—We have changed the veriexec-check option of the request system malware-scan command to integrity-check. This update does not include any functional changes. You can use the integrity-check option to check whether integrity mechanisms are enabled for the Juniper Malware Removal Tool.

Interfaces and Chassis

  • When configuring multiple flexible tunnel interface (FTI) tunnels, the source and destination address pair needs to be unique only among the FTI tunnels of the same tunnel encapsulation type. Prior to this PR, the source and destination address pair had to be unique among all the FTI tunnels regardless of the tunnel encapsulation type.

  • Display the donor details of the IPv6 borrower interface—The output for the show interfaces command now displays the donor details of the IPv6 borrower interface.

    [See show interfaces].

Network Management and Monitoring

  • The configuration accepts only defined identity values for nodes of type identityref in YANG data models (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—If you configure a statement that has type identityref in the corresponding YANG data model, the device accepts only defined identity values (as defined by an identity statement) as valid input. In earlier releases, the device also accepts values that are not defined identity values.

Routing Protocols

  • The RPD_OSPF_LDP_SYNC message not logged?On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved devices, when an LDP session goes down there is a loss of synchronization between LDP and OSPF. After the loss of synchronization, when an interface has been in the holddown state for more than three minutes, the system log message with a warning level is sent. This message appears in both the messages file and the trace file. However, the system log message does not get logged if you explicitly configure the hold-time for ldp-synchronization at the edit protocols ospf area area id interface interface name hierarchy level less than three minutes. The message is printed after three minutes.

  • To achieve consistency among resource paths, the resource path /mpls/signalling-protocols/segment-routing/aggregate-sid-counters/aggregate-sid-counterip-addr='address'/state/countersname='name'/out-pkts/ is changed to /mpls/signaling-protocols/segment-routing/aggregate-sid-counters/aggregate-sid-counterip-addr='address'/state/countersname='name'/. The leaf "out-pkts" is removed from the end of the path, and "signalling" is changed to "signaling" (with one "l").

Subscriber Management and Services

  • New output fields for subscriber management statistics (MX Series)—If you enable the enhanced subscriber management, the non-DHCPv4 bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) requests might not get processed even if you configure the DHCP relay or server with the overrides bootp-support statement at the edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay hierarchy level. To monitor the DHCP transmit and receive packet counters, we've introduced the following output fields for show system subscriber-management statistics dhcp extensive operational command.

    • BOOTP boot request packets received
    • BOOTP boot reply packets received
    • BOOTP boot request packets transmitted
    • BOOTP boot reply packets transmitted
