Platform and Infrastructure

Support for faster file transfer (NFX150, NFX250, and NFX350 )—Starting in Junos OS Release 24.2R1, NFX series devices support faster file transfer or file copy. NFX series devices support the following types of file copy:

• Remote file copy—Use request vmhost remote-file-copy command to copy a file directly between the hypervisor and an external fileserver.

• Local file copy of a file on the hypervisor—Use request vmhost local-file-copy command to copy a file or a directory present under /var/public/ directory structure on the hypervisor to a different name under /var/public/ directory structure.

Support for Virtual Port Peering (NFX 250 and NFX350 )—

Starting in Junos OS Release 24.2R1, you can set up mapping or peering between the L2 interface (xe-0/0/x or ge-0/0/x port) and the L3 interface(ge-1/0/0 to ge-1/0/9) by configuring the virtualization-options interfaces L3-interface-name mapping peer-interfaces physical-interface at the [edit vmhost] hierarchy.

See Configure Interfaces and VLANs for a VNF .

Support to configure static MAC address for Virtual Port Peering (NFX350 )—Starting in Junos OS Release 24.2R1, you can configure static MAC address on the VNF interface while using the Virtual Port Peering (VPP) feature by configuring interfaces interface-name mac-address mac-address at the [edit virtual-network-functions VNF-name] hierarchy.

See Configure Interfaces and VLANs for a VNF.

Support for new Junos OS user permission (NFX150, NFX250, NFX350)—

Starting in Junos OS Release 24.2R1, a new Junos user permission, vnf-operation makes the request virtual-network-functions CLI hierarchy available to Junos OS users that do not belong to root or to super-user class.

You can add the user permission to a custom user class using the statement vnf-operation at [edit system login class custom-user permissions].
