What's Changed
Learn about what changed in these releases for QFX Series switches.
General Routing
-
Before this change most list were ordered by the sequence in which the user configured the list items, for example a series of static routes. After this change the list order is determined by the system with items displayed in numerical sequence rather than by the order in which the items were configured. There is no functional impact to this change.
Junos XML API and Scripting
-
Ability to commit
extension-service file
configuration when application file is unavailable—When you set theoptional
option at the[edit system extension extension-service application file varname file-name]
hierarchy level, the operating system can commit the configuration even if the file is not available at the /var/db/scripts/jet file path.[See file (JET).]
-
Ability to restart restart daemonized applications—Use the
request extension-service restart-daemonize-app application-name
command to restart a daemonized application running on a Junos OS Evolved device. Restarting the application can assist you with debugging and troubleshooting.
Network Management and Monitoring
-
Changes to the NETCONF server's
<rpc-error>
element when theoperation="delete"
operation deletes a nonexistent configuration object (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—We've changed the<rpc-error>
response that the NETCONF server returns when the<edit-config>
operation usesoperation="delete"
to delete a configuration element that is absent in the target configuration. The error severity is error instead of warning, and the<rpc-error>
element includes the<error-tag>data-missing</error-tag>
and<error-type>application</error-type>
elements. -
Changes to the RPC response for
<validate>
operations in RFC-compliant NETCONF sessions (ACX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series)—When you configure therfc-compliant
statement at the[edit system services netconf]
hierarchy level, the NETCONF server emits only an<ok/>
or<rpc-error>
element in response to<validate>
operations. In earlier releases, the RPC reply also includes the<commit-results>
element.
Software Installation and Upgrade
-
The
request system software validate-restart
command output indicates the upgrade method (QFX5220-32D)—Therequest system software validate-restart
command output summarizes the method required to perform the indicated upgrade, for example, an application restart, an in-service kernel warm restart, or a system reboot. [See request system software validate-restart (Junos OS Evolved).]
Routing Protocols
-
Prior to this change the output of the
show isis spring flex-algorithm | display xml
command was invalidly formatted when multiple flex algorithm instances were configured. With the change, the XML output is properly structured showing flex algorithm information for each instance. A new XML tag isis-spring-flex-algorithm is added to bundle information for each instance. -
In Junos OS Evolved platforms,
show route snooping
andshow route forwarding-table
does not show /56 routes in the VPLS address family table.
User Interface and Configuration
-
Viewing files with the
file compare files
command requires users to havemaintenance
permission— Thefile compare files
command in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved requires a user to have a login class withmaintenance
permission.[See Login Classes Overview.]
