Class of Service (CoS)

  • Platform dependency-state error is seen on cosd. PR1649388

  • Show Class-of-service Interface might not show the Classifier bind info on an IFL with only Inet/Inet6 (without family mpls or not with any rewrite rules). Show issue, Classifier will be still present and functional. There is no impact to the traffic. PR1652342

  • The AE interfaces in per-unit-scheduler mode and committing CoS configuration on AE IFLs in a single commit leads to race-conditions.PR1666010

EVPN

  • A few duplicate packets might be seen in an A/A EVPN scenario when the remote PE device sends a packet with an IM label due to MAC not learned on the remote PE device, but learned on the A/A local PE device. The nondesignated forwarder sends the IM-labeled encapsulated packet to the PE-CE interface after MAC lookup instead of dropping the packet, which causes duplicate packets to be seen on the CE side. PR1245316

  • In Provider Backbone Bridging - Ethernet VPN (PBB-EVPN) environment, ARP suppression feature which is not supported by PBB might be enabled unexpectedly. This could cause MAC addresses of remote CEs not to be learned and hence traffic loss. PR1529940

  • EVPN-MPLS multi-homing control MACs are missing after vlan-id removal and adding back on a trunk IFL of one of the multi-homing PEs. This is not a recommended way to modify vlan-id configuration. Both MH PEs need to be in symmetric always . PR1596698

  • This is a case where interface is disabled and comes up as CE after a timeout. A manual intervention of clear ce interface command should restore this. As workaround, perform the following steps:

    • Clear auto-evpn ce-interface interface-name.

    • Configure editactivate interface-name family inet inet6.

    PR1630627

Flow-based and Packet-based Processing

  • Use an antireplay window size of 512 for IPv4 or IPv6 in fat-tunnel. The ESP sequence check might otherwise report out-of-order packets if the fat-tunnel parallel encryption is within 384 packets (12 cores * 32 packets in one batch). Hence, there are no out-of-order packets with 512 antireplay window size. PR1470637

Forwarding and Sampling

  • When the fast-lookup-filter statement is configured with a match that is not supported in the FLT hardware, traffic might be lost. PR1573350

High Availability (HA) and Resiliency

  • When you perform GRES with the interface em0 (or fxp0) disabled on the primary Routing Engine, then enable the interface on the new backup Routing Engine, it isn't able to access network. PR1372087

Infrastructure

  • The following IPC timeouts logs might be seen for statistics query to kernel (queried from CLI or daemons querying internally) when there is configuration churn, or large number of IPCs getting exchanged between kernel and pfe in the system. if_pfe_msg_handler: pfe_peer_msg_handler error: error for msg type type, msg subtype subtype, opcode op and peer index indexDefault IPC timeout value in kernel for IPC statistics request is 10s. PR1629930

Interfaces and Chassis

  • The memory usage of the rpd process on the backup routing engine might increase indefinitely due to leak in krt_as_path_t. PR1614763

  • On EVO platforms during lacpd process restart, child IFD indexes from the port options IFD based data, which gets stored in kernel by lacpd, might not get reused due to old indexes not being freed. When this occurs, new indexes might be generated repeatedly, which might cause the port numbers exhaustion problem in Aggregated Ethernet (ae) interface bundle.PR1647145

  • The transportd.core core file is seen with fabric configuration. PR1649019

  • Due to the issue, there is an error log printed and DCD is restarted. But there is no functionality impact for BFD sessions. There may be a slight delay in the new configuration to take effect as DCD is restarted.

    PR1658016

Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET)

  • In Junos OS Evolved, there are two different gRPC Python files for each JAPI file. The names of the files are *pb2_grpc.py and *pb2.py. The stub creation functions are present in *pb2_grpc.py. PR1580789

  • Until Junos OS Release 21.3 release mgd is 32-bit binary on EVO. libsi can only be linked with 64-bit binaries. To access data/WAN ports in EVO we need libsi to be linked with the binary. By default the shell on the EVO device includes libsi, but it's not available to CLI commands as CLI will make mgd invoke cscript to run a Python script via CLI. PR1603437

MPLS

  • BFD session flaps during unified ISSU only in mpc7e card (BFD sessions from other cards of DUT to peer routers did not flap during ISSU). The issue is not seen frequently. PR1453705

  • Single hop BFD sessions might sometimes flap after GRES in highly scaled setups which have RSVP link or link-node-protection bypass enabled. This happens because sometimes RSVP neighbor goes down after GRES if RSVP hellos are not received after GRES before neighbor timeout happens. As a result of RSVP neighbor going down, RSVP installs a /32 route pointing to bypass tunnel which is required to signal backup LSPs. This route is removed when all LSPs stop using bypass after link comes back up. The presence of this /32 route causes BFD to flap. PR1541814

  • In MVPN case, if the nexthop index of a group is not same between master and backup after a NSR switchover, we might see a packet loss of 250 to 400 ms. PR1561287

  • The use-for-shortcut statement is meant to be used only in SR-TE tunnels which use SSPF (Strict SPF Algo 1) prefix SIDs. If set protocols isis traffic-engineering family inet-mpls shortcuts and set protocols isis traffic-engineering tunnel-source-protocol spring-te are configured on a device, and if any SR-TE tunnel using Algo 0 prefix SIDs is configured with use-for-shortcut statement, it could lead to routing loops or rpd core files. PR1578994

  • When there is scaled RSVP sessions [~21K] and have enabled RSVP for all the interfaces, RPD process walks through all the interfaces, which results in high CPU usage for some time, which also results in LSP flap. PR1595853

  • With the chained-composite statement enabled, the following statement does not have any effect if ingress and egress ports are on the same Packet Forwarding Engine instance on the line card (FPC). For example, the outer label TTL would not be set as 255. Instead, it would be set as (ip TTL-1). PS: This issue is not seen if ingress and egress ports are on different FPC slots or on difference Packet Forwarding Engine instances of the same FPC. set protocols mpls label-switched-path <lsp-name> no-decrement-ttl, chained-compositestatement, and set routing-options forwarding-table chained-composite-next-hop ingress l3vpn PR1621943

  • Ingress will retry after lsp stay down for extended period of time, or customer can clear lsp to speed up the retry. PR1631774

Network Management and Monitoring

  • When maximum-password-length is configured and user tries to configure password whose length exceeds configured maximum-password-length error is thrown, along with error '<ok/>' tag is also emitted. (Ideally '<ok/>' tag should not be emitted in an error scenario.) The configuration does not get committed.PR1585855

  • A minor memory leak is seen in the event-daemon process when multiple GRES switchovers are performed. PR1602536

  • mgd might crash when an invalid value is configured for identityref type leafs/leaf-lists while configuring Openconfig or any other third-party YANG, problem happens with json and xml loads. PR1615773

  • On all Junos and EVO platforms, the "snmpd" process might crash, if there is no response for the SNMP requests, and a timeout happens.PR1666548

Platform and Infrastructure

  • AFEB crashing with PTP thread hog on the device. Through this fix PTP packet processing is done when PTP is enable That is, when PTP configuration is active. If the PTP configuration is not there we will ignore PTP packet processing even if FPGA is showing PTP packet is available. The issue is a rare issue. PR1068306

  • If a vmhost snapshot is taken on an alternate disk and there is no further vmhost software image upgrade, the expectation is that if the current vmhost image gets corrupted, the system boots with the alternate disk so the user can recover the primary disk to restore the state. However, the host root file system and the node boots with the previous vmhost software instead of the alternate disk. PR1281554

  • When VLAN is added as an action for changing the VLAN in both ingress and egress filters, the filter is not installed. PR1362609

  • On MX Series routers with MPC7E, MPC8E, or MPC9E installed, if optics QSFPP-4X10GE-LR from Innolight vendor (subset of modules with part number 740-054050) is used, the link might flap. PR1436275

  • With NAT/Stateful-firewall/TCP tickle (enable by default) configured on MS-MPC/MS-MIC, the vmcore crashes sometimes along with mspmand crash might happen if large-scale traffic flows (that is, million flows) are processed by it. PR1482400

  • When there are hardware link errors occurred on all 32 links on an FPC 11. Because of these link errors, all FPCs reported destination errors towards FPC 11 and FPC 11 was taken offline with reason offlined due to unreachable destinations. PR1483529

  • When running the command show pfe filter hw filter-name <filter name>, the command fails to retrieve the Packet Forwarding Engine programming details of the filter. PR1495712

  • After backup Routing Engine halt, CB1 goes offline and comes back online; this leads to the backup Routing Engine booting up, and it shows the reboot reason as "0x1:power cycle/failure." This issue is only for the Routing Engine reboot reason, and there is no other functional impact of this. PR1497592

  • A delay of 35 seconds is added in reboot time in Junos OS Release 20.2R1 compared to Junos OS Release 19.4R2. PR1514364

  • When an AMS ifd is configured for the first time or any member of the AMS bundle is removed or added, the PICs on which the members of AMS bundle are present go for a reboot. There is a timer running in the AMS kernel which is used as a delay for the PIC reboot to complete and once that timer expires AMS assumes that the PICs might have been rebooted and it moves into next step of AMS fsm. In scaled scenarios, this rebooting of the PIC is delayed due to DCD. This is because when a PIC goes down, DCD is supposed to delete the IFDs on that PIC and then the PIC reboot happens. But DCD is busy processing the scaled configuration and the IFD deletion is delayed. This delay is much greater than the timer running in AMS kernel. When the above timer expires, the FSM in AMS kernel incorrectly assumes the PIC reboot would be completed by then, but the reboot is still pending. By the time DCD deletes this IFD the AMS bundles are already UP. Because of this, there is a momentary flap of the bundles. PR1521929

  • In MAC OS platforms when Juniper Secure Connect client connects successfully, the client is not getting minimized to tray icon and needs to be minimized manually.PR1525889

  • Due to BRCM KBP issue route lookup might fail. Need to upgrade KBP to address this issue. PR1533513

  • The Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) might generate a core file (or dump file) if the flap-trap-monitor feature under set protocols oam ethernet cfm performance-monitoring sla-iterator-profiles is used and performance monitoring flap occurs.PR1536417

  • In scaled MX2020 router, with vrf localisation enabled, 4 million nexthop scale, 800k route scale. FPCs might go offline on GRES. Post GRES, router continues to report many fabric related CM_ALARMs. FPC might continue to reboot and not come online. Rebooting master and backup Routing Engine will help recover and get router back into stable state. PR1539305

  • During Routing Engine switchover interface flap might be seen along with Scheduler slippage. PR1541772

  • Unsupported configuration is being attempted by the script that then hits the maximum threshold for the given platform. PR1555159

  • 5M DAC connected between QFX10002-60C and MX2010 doesn't link up. But with 1M and 3M DAC this interop works as expected. Also it is to be noted QFX10002-60C and ACX or Traffic generator the same 5M DAC works seamlessly. There seems to be certain SI or link level configuration on both QFX10002-60C and MX2010, which needs to be debugged with the help from HW and SI teams and resolved. PR1555955

  • With IPsec PMI/fat core file enabled, "show services sessions utilization" CLI not displaying right CPU utilization. PR1557751

  • The SyncE to PTP transient response is a stringent mask to be met with two way time error. The SyncE to PTP transient response mask might not be met for MPC7E-1G and MPC7E-10G line cards. PR1557999

  • VE and CE mesh groups are default mesh groups created for a given routing instance. On adding VLAN or bridge-domain add, flood tokens and routes are created for both VE and CE mesh-group and flood-group. Ideally, VE mesh-group does not require a CE router where IGMP is enabled on CE interfaces. MX Series based CE boxes have unlimited capacity of tokens. So, this would not be a major issue. PR1560588

  • Support switchover on routing-crash configuration statement during abnormal termination of rpd. PR1561059

  • The session status becomes nonresponsive in the invalid state after the core-facing link fails in the primary PE devices. PR1562387

  • Configure an interface hold time to avoid the additional interface flap. PR1562857

  • On MX480 routers, traffic loss is observed with a scale of 4000 tunnels 800 VRF test. The problem is with Layer 1 node not reflecting correct bandwidth configured for tunnel services. When baseline has 1G configuration on some FPC or PIC in groups global chassis and if we override with local chassis tunnel service in 10G bandwidth scaled scenario. Out of 10 Gbps bandwidth configured only 1 Gbps is allowed per 1G speed configured in baseline configuration.PR1568414

  • When inline Jflow is configured and high sampling rate (more than 4000 per second) is set, high CPU utilization might be observed and this might result in relevant impacts on traffic analysis and billing. PR1569229

  • The following messages might be seen in the logs from MPC11E line-card: router-re0-fpc8 aftd-trio[18040]: [Warn] AM : IPC handling - No handler found for type:27 subtype:9. There is no functional impact, these logs can be ignored. PR1573972

  • When you commit the configuration /8 pool with block size as 1, the block creation utilizes more memeory causing NAT pool memory shortage. This results in syslog RT_NAT_POOL_MEMORY_SHORTAGE. PR1579627

  • Firewall programming fails due to scaled prefix configuration with more than 64800 entries. PR1581767

  • When you configure interim logging for PBA, syslog messages are generated in regular intervals. Change in information of PBA interim syslog message, the message string change from "allocates port block" to "interim port block". PR1582394

  • When the active secondary interface is deactivated, the PTP lock status is set to 'INITIALIZING' state in show ptp lock-status output for few seconds before BMCA chooses the next best secondary interface. There is no functional impact. PR1585529

  • On all devices running Junos OS Release 19.1R3-S5-J3, when you delete Extensible Subscriber Services Manager (ESSM) the subscriber logical interface might get stuck. PR1591603

  • Currently, SyncE configurations are allowed during unified ISSU but trigger a warning since SyncE state might not be maintained during unified ISSU. PTP configurations, however, need to be deactivated, else the unified ISSU will be aborted. PR1592234

  • Pim VxLAN do not work on TD3 chipsets enabling VxLAN flexflow after Junos OS Release 21.3R1. PR1597276

  • On MX2010 and MX2020 devices, Junos OS does not support unified ISSU for software upgrades from Junos OS 21.2 release to Junos OS 21.3 and 21.4 releases due to a flag day change. PR1597728

  • For a topology with VSTP and VRRP configured and IPv6 traffic, if you change VSTP bridge priority a couple of times (to trigger toggling of root bridge), V6 traffic drop might be seen on some of the streams. PR1629345

  • For MX204 and MX2008 "VM Host-based" platforms, starting with Junos OS Release 21.4R1 or later, ssh and root login is required for copying line card image (chspmb.elf for MX2008) from Junos VM to Linux host during installation. The ssh and root login are required during installation. Use deny-password instead of deny as default root-login option under ssh configuration to allow internal trusted communication. Ref https://kb.juniper.net/TSB18224 PR1629943

  • On MX Series platform with enhanced subscriber management enabled, when you configure host-prefix-only on the underlying-interface for subscribers, it might not work in FPC. PR1631646

PR1639071

  • On all Junos and Junos Evolved platforms, there may be a high Control Processing Unit (CPU) utilization for the routing processor daemon (rpd) during commit. This might only be seen in a scaled static route setup with VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and Bi-Directional Forwarding and Detection (BFD). The reason for the CPU spike is that kernel routing table (krt) might get stuck and keeps running for a long time. The high CPU might hamper the rpd functionality in rare cases, however, the system recovers by itself when you encounter this issue.PR1639252

  • Script fails while verifying Access Internal Routes after daemon restart during advanced DHCP test. PR1640567

  • The mspmand daemon running on MS-MPC/MS-MIC cards can occasionally crash when the service card (fpc/pic) is turned offline and then online at regular intervals when the number of service-set configured is moderately high and when extensive hardware crypto operations are being performed. The exact issue is yet to be isolated. PR1641107

  • On MPC10E cards upon many very quick link down and up events in msec range might not always able to drain all traffic in the queue. This causes lost of traffic going through the interface. Traffic volume and class-of-service configuration does influence the exposure. See also PR1638410.PR1642584

  • An improper input validation vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent attacker to cause a Packet Forwarding Engine crash and thereby a Denial of Service (DoS). An FPC will crash and reboot after receiving a specific transit IPv6 packet over MPLS. Continued receipt of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Refer to https://kb.juniper.net/JSA69718 for more information. PR1642721

  • When we use request vmhost zeroize command it doesn't show entry for no-forwarding option under possible completions. PR1642820

  • With PTPoIPv6 on MPC2E 3D EQ, PTP slave stays in acquiring state.PR1642890

  • Committing configuration changes during the Packet Forwarding Engine reset pause window (when PFE is disabled, yet the Packet Forwarding Engine reset proper has not started yet) has the potential of causing errors and traffic loss. In particular, configuration changes that result in re-allocating policers (which are HMC-based) might lead to traffic being entirely policed out (that is, not flowing). Once the Packet Forwarding Engine reset procedure has started configuration changes ought to be avoided until the procedure is completely done.PR1644661

PR1646799

  • With overlapping NAT pool configured with different NAT rules under different service sets, when service outside interface is moved between different routing instances (EX: from vr1 to default, and from default to vr1), NAT routes corresponding to the service-set in default routing instance are getting deleted, resulting in reverse path traffic failure for NAT sessions. PR1646822

  • On all MX Series platforms with the subscriber management scenario, when unified ISSU happens from pre Junos OS Release 18.4 to post Release 18.4, subscribers that re-logged in pre 18.4 are called preNG subscribers. For any of the preNG subscribers, if the IPv4/IPv6 family interface goes up/down, the issue is triggered. PR1646846

  • On MX Series platforms with MPC10E-10C line card, with line rate traffic, continuous traffic drop can be seen when fabric mode is changed from increased bandwidth to redundant.PR1676777

  • The physical interface remaining stats flag is not set properly in chassid in today's code. It should be set to TRUE only if HCOS is configured on an interface. Else, it should not be SET. Not setting this rightly, results in statistics not being displayed OR the command output not being displayed at all. The impacted command is "run show interfaces extensive "intf-name"" and the impact is seen in GNF environment with no explicit COS configuration on the interfaces.

  • On MPC10E card, the port 4 can operation in either 100G or 400G speed. In certain scenario a stale QSFP56 identifier is left in PFE. It can cause the "show interfaces diagnostics optics "interfaces"" shows all 0 even if 100G QSFP-28 is inserted and the port is up. PR1678716

  • In case when you first configure the SRTE LSP without delegation and get it locally computed and then delegate, then till the time controller sends an update with valid ERO the SRTE LSP will not become externally routed. In this case the SRTE LSP will not go down if the controller sends EMPTY ERO. Only when controller updates the LSP with a valid ERO the SRTE LSP route status will change to externally routed and only then the controller can send EMPTY ERO to make it DOWN. In the other case where u configure the SRTE LSP with delegation at the time of creation itself then from the very beginning the SRTE LSP route status becomes externally control. In this case the SRTE LSP will be DOWN until the controller has sent an Update with valid ERO list. So the conclusion is that when the SRTE LSP is locally routed it will continue to reply on locally computed ERO unless Controller sends a valid ERO and takes the route control of the LSP. There are different customers wanting different behaviors. so we have kept option for both.. If someone wants to get it externally routed from beginning we can do so by delegating it from the time of the LSP creation.. if someone wants to have a local computation till controller has a valid path we can do so by choosing the first option (configure and then delegate later)PR1686317

  • Certain BGP traceoption flags (for example, "open", "update", and "keepalive") might result in (trace) logging of debugging messages that do not fall within the specified traceoption category, which results in some unwanted BGP debug messages being logged to the BGP traceoption file. PR1252294

Services Applications

  • L2TP LAC functionality is not working in this release. PR1642991

User Interface and Configuration

  • On all Junos with persist-groups disabled ( on Junos persist-groups feature is enabled by default Junos OS Release 19.4 onwards) and on EVO platforms where persist groups can be disabled (Junos OS Release 21.4R1 onwards persist-groups cannot be disabled on EVO) this issue can be seen. This issue occurs when grafting happens during configuration expansion (when persist-groups is disabled) and a configuration such as a customer configuration is applied (for example, a configuration in which MTU is inherited from a groups configuration). PR1636085

  • Due to the existing design for rib-groups, a rib-group configured with "import-policy" configuration statement is considered changed after NSR switchover. This makes IS-IS to refresh (delete and re-add) its routes in RIB, if such a rib-group is being used for ISIS protocol. The ISIS route refresh in-turn causes SBFD sessions to flap. This issue is only applicable with rib-group configured with "import-policy". Without "import-policy" this issue would not be seen.PR1654072

VPNs

  • Tunnel debugging configuration is not synchronized to the backup node. It needs to be configured again after RG0 failover. PR1450393

  • Change here is basically reverting to old enum value used for ATM VPN, and using a new value for BGP multicast address family, and although these is no visible behavior change due to this, there may be impact on unified ISSU for ATMVPN and BGP Multicast address family if enabled. PR1590331

  • When using group VPN, in certain cases, the PUSH ACK message from the group member to the group key server might be lost. The group member can still send rekey requests for the TEK SAs before the hard lifetime expiry. Only if the key server sends any new PUSH messages to the group members, those updates would not be received by the group member since the key server would have removed the member from registered members list.
