What's Changed
Learn about what changed in this release for PTX Series routers.
EVPN
-
EVPN-VXLAN tracing configuration— The
set services trace evpn-vxlanconfiguration invokes a built-in commit script to generate tracing configurations for troubleshooting EVPN-VXLAN in multiple modules and hierarchies.See [ trace (EVPN-VXLAN).]
-
New commit check for MAC-VRF routing instances with the encapsulate-inner-vlan statement configured— We introduced a new commit check that prevents you from configuring an IRB interface and the
encapsulate-inner-vlanstatement together in a MAC-VRF routing instance. Please correct or remove these configurations prior to upgrading to 23.2R2 or newer to avoid a configuration validation failure during the upgrade.See [ encapsulate-inner-vlan.]
-
Default behavior changes and new options for the easy EVPN LAG configuration (EZ-LAG) feature—The easy EVPN LAG configuration feature now uses some new default or derived values, as follows:
-
Peer PE device
peer-idvalue can only be 1 or 2. -
You are required to configure the loopback subnet addresses for each peer PE device using the new
loopback peer1-subnetandloopback peer2-subnetoptions at theedit services evpn device-attributehierarchy level. The commit script uses these values for each peer PE device's loopback subnet instead of deriving those values on each PE device. These replace theloopback-subnetoption at theedit services evpn device-attributehierarchy level, which has been deprecated. -
If you configure the
no-policy-and-routing-options-configoption, you must configure a policy statement called EXPORT-LO0 that the default underlay configuration requires, or configure the new no-underlay-config option and include your own underlay configuration. -
The commit script generates "notice" messages instead of "error" messages for configuration errors so you can better handle
edit services evpnconfiguration issues. -
The commit script includes the element names you configure (such as IRB instance names and server names) in description statements in the generated configuration.
-
This feature also now includes a few new options so you have more flexibility to customize the generated configuration:
-
no-underlay-config attheedit services evpnhierarchy level—To provide your own underlay peering configuration. -
mtu overlay-mtuandmtu underlay-mtuoptions at theedit services evpn global-parametershierarchy level—To change the default assigned MTU size for underlay or overlay packets.
See [ Easy EVPN LAG Configuration.]

-
Change in options and generated configuration for the EZ-LAG configuration IRB subnet-address statementWith the EZ-LAG
subnet-address inetorsubnet-address inet6options at theedit services evpn evpn-vxlan irb irb-instancehierarchy, you can now specify multiple IRB subnet addresses in a single statement using the list syntaxaddr1 addr2 .... Also, in the generated configuration for IRB interfaces, the commit script now includes defaultrouter-advertisementstatements at the edit protocols hierarchy level for that IRB interface.
Forwarding and Sampling
-
For firewall filter action and match on slice ID, family-name can be inet, inet6, mpls, or any.
General Routing
-
The active-user-count is defined as a numeric integer value in ODL request output —The output for the get-system-uptime-information ODL request contains information for the active-user-count. The active-user-count is now defined as a numeric integer value and avoids an invalid value type error.
[See show system uptime.]
-
Two new alarms are added and can be seen with MPC11E when 400G-ZR optics are used. High Power Optics Too Warm: warning of the increase in chassis ambient temperature with no functional action taken on the optics Temperature too high for optics power on: New inserted optics when the chassis ambient temperature is elevated beyond the threshold will not be powered on and would need to be reinserted when the ambient temperature is within the acceptable range
-
The packet rate and byte rate fields for LSP sensors on AFT (with the legacy path) have been renamed as jnx-packet-rate and jnx-byte-rate and is in parity with the UKERN behavior. Previously, these rate fields were named as packetRate and byteRate.
-
Single source of data for operational state sensor leaves (PTX10008)— You can use the suppress-interface-leaf CLI statement to suppress telemetry streaming of the following sensors from the packet forwarding engine (PFE): /interfaces/interface/state/high-speed /interfaces/interface/state/oper-status This might be required for collectors that require a single source of data for each sensor.
[See suppress-interface-leaf.]
-
LSPs scale license-Starting in 22.4R3 and 23.4R1 Junos OS Evolved releases, the license counts only the Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) and Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) LSPs. Prior to the 22.4R3 and 23.4R1 Junos OS Evolved releases, license counts all Traffic Engineering (TE) such as RSVP-TE and SR-TE and non-TE such as LDP, BGP-LU, L-ISIS, L-OSPF LSPs.
-
The backup routing instance then starts index (hrStorageIndex) at 1, incrementing each time after assigning index to an entry in this list. If a mount is unmounted, the other mounts indices will not shift. hrstoragetable indices persist during the lifetime of mib2d. When a new mount is detected, it is assigned the next free index in the system. If there is no free index, it is assigned the last index +1.
-
Enhanced DDoS status operational command (PTX Series)—We've enhanced the aggregate DDoS status output field to display the aggregate count of all sub packet types.
Earlier to this release, the aggregate DDoS status output displayed only the packet type level output information.
-
In TVP Platforms, When the FPC is configured to bring offline due to major errors, the alarm string FPC x Offlined due to Major Errors will be shown in the
show chassis alarmandshow system alarmoutput instead of FPC x Major Errors alarm. -
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.
-
While running request system snapshot recovery command on all VMHost based Routing Engines, disable or stop reporting any warning message.
Interfaces and Chassis
-
Starting in Junos OS Evolved release 23.2R1-EVO, the output of
show chassis powercommand displays the state of the power supply in PTX10003 platform.[See show chassis power.]
-
When all the members of the AE have the same speed (x) and no mixed speed configured. If you change the speed value of any member of the AE to a value other than x, the commit succeeded in earlier releases. From this release, the commit fails. When there are et interfaces with different speeds and you want them to be part of an AE interface. If you change the speed of all the members of the interfaces to be the same speed (x), configure the AE interface, and commit, the commit failed in earlier releases. From this release, such commits succeed.
Junos XML API and Scripting
-
Ability to commit
extension-service fileconfiguration when application file is unavailable—When you set theoptionaloption at theedit system extension extension-service application file file-namehierarchy 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 daemonized applications—Use the request extension-service
restart-daemonize-app application-namecommand to restart a daemonized application running on a Junos device. Restarting the application can assist you with debugging and troubleshooting. -
XML output tags changed for
request-commit-server-pauseandrequest-commit-server-start(ACX Series and PTX Series)—We've changed the XML output for therequest system commit server pausecommand (request-commit-server-pauseRPC) and therequest system commit server startcommand (request-commit-server-startRPC). The root element is<commit-server-operation>instead of<commit-server-information>, and the<output>tag is renamed to<message>.
Licensing
-
Deprecated license revoke information—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 23.4R1, we've deprecated the
show system license revoked-infocommand. You can use theshow system licenseandshow system license usagecommands to know the license information. -
LSPs scale license—Starting in 22.4R3 and 23.4R1 Junos OS Evolved releases, the license counts only the Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) and Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) LSPs. Prior to the 22.4R3 and 23.4R1 Junos OS Evolved releases, license counts all Traffic Engineering (TE) such as RSVP-TE and SR-TE and non-TE such as LDP, BGP-LU, L-ISIS, L-OSPF LSPs.
Network Management and Monitoring
-
Changes to the RPC response for
<validate>operations in RFC-compliant NETCONF sessions (ACX Series and PTX Series)—When you configure therfc-compliantstatement 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. -
NETCONF
<copy-config>operations support afile://URI for copy to file operations (ACX Series and PTX Series)—The NETCONF<copy-config>operation supports using afile://URI when<url>is the target and specifies the absolute path of a local file.[See <copy-config>.]
-
gNOI
OSRPCs use the software version string instead of the package filename (PTX Series)—Theversionfield in thegnoi.os.OSActivate(),Install(), andVerify()RPCs uses the software version string (as displayed in/system/state/software-version) instead of the package name. -
Simplified gRIBI configuration—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 23.4R1, we have simplified the configuration to run gRPC Routing Information Base Interface (gRIBI) service remote procedure calls (RPCs). You no longer need to configure statements at the
[edit routing-options resolution]hierarchy level.[See gRIBI.]
Routing Protocols
-
Prior to this change the output of the
show isis spring flex-algorithm | display xmlcommand 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. -
After this change ISIS export policies support setting the down bit configuring the set-down-bit action in an export policy term.
-
Starting in Junos OS Evolved 23.4R1, we have enabled the
process-non-null-as-null-registerconfiguration statement underedit protocols pim rp localby default. For earlier releases, you must configure this statement explicitly. -
In Junos OS Evolved platforms,
show route snoopingandshow route forwarding-tabledoes not show /56 routes in the VPLS address family table. -
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.

Software Installation and Upgrade
-
configurationandno-configurationoptions for therequest system snapshotcommand (ACX Series and PTX Series)—When you omit or include theconfigurationoption, therequest system snapshotcommand copies the /config directory and the configuration stored for each installed software version to the alternate solid-state drive (SSD) as part of the snapshot. You can use theno-configurationoption to exclude the /config directory and the configuration stored for each installed software version from the snapshot.
User Interface and Configuration
-
Information about users editing system configuration— The
show system configuration database statuscommand displays information from the Junos OS configuration database that describes the users currently editing the system configuration. -
Output for request system software status | display xml validate has a tag mismatch error (all platforms)—The output contains the error message
CRITICAL ERROR: Root tag 'package-status' is either not defined in ODL or does not have 'flag root' set. Please check. Rendering may not work properly. We have removed the improperly definedpackage-statustag and replaced it with a new child tagpackage-status-message. -
Starting in Junos OS Evolved 23.4R1, you need not set up passwordless communication explicitly by issuing
request security ssh password-less-authenticationcommand fortransfer-on-commitand syslog archival operation over scp. -
Viewing files with the
file compare filescommand requires users to havemaintenancepermission— Thefile compare filescommand in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved requires a user to have a login class withmaintenancepermission.[SeeLogin Classes Overview.]
