12
Class of Service
Class of Service (CoS) parity support for ACX5000 routers—Starting in Junos OS 19.3R1, the
Class-of-Service feature set is supported on ACX5000 devices to enable users to configure classification, rewrite, shaping, queueing, and scheduling parameters for traffic flow.
For more information regarding CoS, see Understanding Class of Service.
Support for Class-of-Service (CoS) for ACX5448 devices—Starting in Junos OS 19.3R1, support is
provided for Class-of-Service (COS) on ACX5448 devices to include firewall filter families (ANY, VPLS, ethernet-switching, CCC, IPv6, IPv4, Lo0-IPv6, Lo0-IPv4, and MPLS), and CoS (classification, policing, forwarding policy, forwarding class to queue map, WRED and Tail drop profiles, fabric queue and scheduling configuration, scheduler, deep buffers, and remarking).
For more information regarding CoS, see Understanding Class of Service.
High Availability (HA) and Resiliency
VRRP support (ACX5448)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, the ACX5448 router supports the
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) over aggregated Ethernet and integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces. The VRRP queue size is limited, so it doesn’t disturb other protocols such as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) and connectivity fault management (CFM). The ACX5448 supports 16 VRRP groups.
[See Understanding VRRP. ]
Software Support (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers support:
Chassis management software—Manages the onboard FRUs
Upgradable common BIOS software—Initializes all the devices on the hardware
FPC and PIC management
Interfaces and Chassis
Hardware resiliency support (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers support the resiliency feature, which includes handling of hardware failure and faults. Resiliency on an ACX5448-D enhances its debugging capability in the case of hardware failure of its components such as Routing Engine, solid-state drive (SSD), and PCI Express. For example, the resiliency feature enables the router to recover from inter-integrated circuit (I2C) failure, and improves its voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, and PCI Express error handling and reporting. The resiliency feature also provides DRAM single-bit and multibit error checking and correction (ECC) capabilities.
[See show chassis fpc errors.]
Interface speed, channelization, and MACsec support (ACX5448-M)—In Junos OS Release 19.3R1, we
introduce the ACX5448-M Universal Metro Router with support for advanced security capabilities such as Media Access Control Security (MACsec). The ACX5448-M has the following port types:
13
Forty-four 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports (0 through 43). Based on the optics
plugged in, the ports come up either as 1-Gbps or 10-Gbps.
Six 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports (44 through 49). These ports support 100-Gbps (the default)
and 40-Gbps speeds. You can channelize these ports into four 25-Gbps or four 10-Gbps interfaces.
The 44 SFP+ ports on the ACX5448-M support MACsec; however, the six QSFP28 ports do not support MACsec.
[See Channelize Interfaces on ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M Routers.]
Layer 2 Features
Support for Layer 2 Features (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
Junos OS supports Layer 2 bridging, Q-in-Q tunneling, no-local switching, Layer 2 protocol tunneling, Spanning Tree Protocols (RSTP,MSTP), Bridge Protocol Data Unit (guard, root and loop protect), Ethernet OAM, VPLS, BGP, LDP, pseudowire ping, and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) support for virtual circuit connectivity verification (VCCV) on ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers.
Support for Layer 2 switching cross-connects (ACX5440)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you
can leverage the hardware support available for cross-connects on the ACX5448 device with the Layer 2 local switching functionality using certain models. With this support, you can provide the EVP and Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) services.
[See Configuring Layer 2 Switching Cross-Connects Using CCC.]
Layer 3 Features
Support for Layer 3 features (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
Junos OS supports Layer 3 protocols, multicast, and MPLS as the transport mechanism on ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers.
Management
OpenConfig AAA data model support (ACX1100, ACX2100, ACX5448, ACX6360, EX4300, MX240,
MX480, MX960, MX10003, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5110, and QFX10002)—Junos OS Release
19.3R1 supports the configuration leaves specified in the OpenConfig AAA data model. Mapping the OpenConfig AAA configuration to the Junos AAA configuration using the following YANG files in the data model makes this support possible:
openconfig-aaa.yang
openconfig-aaa-types.yang
openconfig-aaa-tacacs.yang
openconfig-aaa-radius.yang
14
The configuration model supporting the OpenConfig data model includes:
A translation script (.py / .slax) that maps each configuration leaf in the OpenConfig schema to one
or more configuration leafs in the JUNOS OS schema.
A deviation file (.yang) that specifies how much the implementation deviates from the vendor-neutral
model.
[See Mapping OpenConfig AAA Commands to Junos Configuration.]
Network Management and Monitoring
Support for adding custom YANG data models to the Junos OS schema (ACX5448-D and
ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers support loading custom YANG data models on the device, which enables you to add RPCs or configuration hierarchies that are customized for your operations. The ability to add data models to a device is beneficial when you want to create device-agnostic RPCs and configuration models that can be used on different devices from one or more vendors.
[See Understanding the Management of Non-Native YANG Modules on Devices Running Junos OS.]
Port Security
Media Access Control Security (MACsec) support (ACX5448)—Starting with Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
ACX5448 routers support MACsec on 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP and 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. MACsec is an industry-standard security technology that provides secure communication for all traffic on point-to-point Ethernet links. MACsec is standardized in IEEE 802.1AE.

ACX6360 router supports the following firewall filter match conditions for IPv6 traffic: address, destination-address, destination-port, destination-port-except, destination-prefix-list, port, port-except, icmp-code, icmp-code-except, icmp-type, icmp-type-except, next-header, next-header-except, prefix-list, source-address, source-port, source-port-except, and source-prefix-list.
[See Firewall Filter Match Conditions for IPv6 Traffic on ACX Series Routers and ACX6360
Documentation. ]
Routing Protocols
Clocking and Synchronous Ethernet support (ACX5448)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, ACX5448
routers support frequency synchronization using the Synchronous Ethernet and Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel (ESMC) protocols. The routers also support phase and time synchronization through Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
[See Synchronous Ethernet Overview.]
Transparent clock over IPv6 support (ACX5448)—Starting with Junos OS Release 19.3R1, ACX5448
routers support transparent clock functionality for PTP over IPv6. To configure the transparent clock functionality, you must include the e2e-transparent statement at the [edit protocol ptp] hierarchy level. Use the show ptp global-information command to check the status of the transparent clock functionality configured on the router.
[See Understanding Transparent Clocks in Precision Time Protocol.]
Support for RIPv2 (ACX5448)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, Junos OS supports RIP version 2
(RIPv2) for both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
Services Applications
Support for Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol or TWAMP (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can configure TWAMP on your ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers. TWAMP enables you measure the IP performance between two devices in a network. The ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M routers support only the reflector side of TWAMP.
[See Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol on ACX Series.]
Support for virtualization (ACX5448-D and ACX5448-M)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, the Routing Engines on the ACX5448-D routers and ACX5448-M routers support virtualization.
On Routing Engines of ACX5448-D routers and ACX5448-M routers, one instance of Junos OS, which runs as a guest operating system, is launched by default. The user needs to log in to this instance for operations and management.
With virtualization of the Routing Engine, Junos OS supports new request and show commands associated with host and hypervisor processes. The commands are related to:
16
Reboot, halt, and power management for the host
Software upgrade for the host
Disk snapshot for the host
[See What Are VM Hosts?.]
Port mirroring support for the IPv6 address family (ACX6360)—Starting in Release 19.3R1, you can
configure port mirroring on the ACX6360 router for the inet6 family. Port mirroring copies packets entering or exiting a port and sends the copies to a local interface for local monitoring. You can use port mirroring to send traffic to applications that analyze traffic for purposes such as monitoring compliance, enforcing policies, detecting intrusions, monitoring and predicting traffic patterns, and correlating events.
[See Configuring Port Mirroring.]

What’s Changed in Release 19.3R3-S1

Routing Protocols
Advertising /32 secondary loopback addresses to traffic engineering database as prefixes (ACX Series,
EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—We've made changes to export multiple loopback addresses to the lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as prefixes. This eliminates the issue of advertising secondary loopback addresses as router IDs instead of prefixes. In earlier releases, multiple secondary loopback addresses in the traffic engineering database were added to the lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as part of node characteristics and advertised them as the router ID.

What's Changed in Release 19.3R3

General Routing
Support for gigether-options statement (ACX5048, ACX5096)—Junos OS supports the gigether-options
statement at the edit interfaces interface-name hierarchy on the ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers. Previously, support for the gigether-statement was deprecated.
20
[See gigether-options.]
Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET)
Set the trace log to only show error messages (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX
Series, SRX Series)— You can set the verbosity of the trace log to only show error messages using the error option at the edit system services extension-service traceoptions level hierarchy.
See traceoptions (Services).

What's Changed in Release 19.3R2-S6

Network Management and Monitoring
Support for disconnecting unresponsive NETCONF-over-SSH clients (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series,
NFX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—You can enable devices to automatically disconnect unresponsive NETCONF-over-SSH clients by configuring the client-alive-interval and
client-alive-count-max statements at the [edit system services netconf ssh] hierarchy level. The client-alive-interval statement specifies the timeout interval in seconds, after which, if no data has been
received from the client, the device requests a response, and the client-alive-count-max statement specifies the threshold of missed client-alive responses that triggers the device to disconnect the client, thereby terminating the NETCONF session.
See ssh (NETCONF).
Changes to commit RPC responses in RFC-compliant NETCONF sessions (ACX Series, EX Series, MX
Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—When you configure the rfc-compliant statement at the edit system services netconf hierarchy level, the NETCONF server's response for commit operations includes the following changes:
If a successful commit operation returns a response with one or more warnings, the warnings are
redirected to the system log file, in addition to being omitted from the response.
The NETCONF server response emits the <source-daemon> element as a child of the <error-info>
element instead of the <rpc-error> element.
If you also configure the flatten-commit-results statement at the edit system services netconf hierarchy
level, the NETCONF server suppresses any <commit-results> XML subtree in the response and only emits an <ok> or <rpc-error> element.
See Configuring RFC-Compliant NETCONF Sessions.

What's Changed in Release 19.3R2

There are no changes in behavior and syntax for ACX Series in Junos OS Release 19.3R2.

What's Changed in Release 19.3R1

21
Interfaces and Chassis
Support for creating Layer 2 logical interfaces independently (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX
Series, and QFX Series)—In Junos OS Release 19.3R1 and later, ACX Series routers support creating Layer 2 logical interfaces independent of the Layer 2 routing-instance type. That is, you can configure and commit the Layer 2 logical interfaces separately and add the interfaces to the bridge domain or Ethernet VPN (EVPN) routing instance separately. Note that the Layer 2 logical interfaces work fine only when they are added to the bridge domain or EVPN routing instance.
In earlier Junos OS releases, when you use a Layer 2 logical interface configuration (units with encapsulation vlan-bridge configuration), then you must add the logical interface as part of a bridge domain or EVPN routing instance for the commit to succeed.
Monitoring information available only in trace log (ACX Series)—In Junos OS Release 19.3R1 and later,
the Ethernet link fault management daemon (lfmd process) in the peer router stops monitoring the locally occurred errors until unified ISSU completes. You can view the monitoring-related details only through the trace log file.
Junos OS XML API and Scripting
Range defined for confirm-timeout value in NETCONF and Junos XML protocol sessions (ACX Series,
EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, the value for the <confirm-timeout> element in the Junos XML protocol <commit-configuration> operation must be in the range 1 through 65,535 minutes, and the value for the <confirm-timeout> element in the NETCONF <commit> operation must be in the range 1 through 4,294,967,295 seconds. In earlier releases, the range is determined by the minimum and maximum value of its unsigned integer data type.
XML RPC equivalent included for the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc CLI command (ACX
Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—Starting in Junos OS Release
19.3R1, we have included an XML RPC equivalent for the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc CLI command. In Junos OS releases before Release 19.3R1, the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc CLI command does not have an XML RPC equivalent.
[See show bgp output-scheduler.]
System Logging
Preventing system instability during core file generation (ACX Series)—Starting with Release 19.3R1
onward, Junos OS checks for available storage space on the Routing Engine before generating core files either on request or because of an assertion condition. This check ensures that your device does not become unstable because of shortage of storage space on the Routing Engine. If the available space is not sufficient, core files are not generated. Instead, Junos OS either displays the Insufficient Disk space
!!! Core generation skipped message as an output or issues the syslog message core generation is skipped due to disk full.
Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
22
Performance monitoring history data is lost when a change in number of supported history records is
detected (ACX Series and MX Series)—In Junos OS Release 19.3R1, when Ethernet connectivity fault management starts, it detects the number of history records supported by the existing performance monitoring history database and if there is any change from the number of history records supported (that is, 12) in Release 19.3R1, then the existing performance monitoring history database is cleared and all performance monitoring sessions are restarted with mi-index 1.

35
This section contains the upgrade and downgrade support policy for Junos OS for the ACX Series Router. Upgrading or downgrading Junos OS might take several minutes, depending on the size and configuration of the network.
For information about software installation and upgrade, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Upgrade and Downgrade Support Policy for Junos OS Releases

Support for upgrades and downgrades that span more than three Junos OS releases at a time is not provided, except for releases that are designated as Extended End-of-Life (EEOL) releases. EEOL releases provide direct upgrade and downgrade paths—you can upgrade directly from one EEOL release to the next EEOL release even though EEOL releases generally occur in increments beyond three releases.
You can upgrade or downgrade to the EEOL release that occurs directly before or after the currently installed EEOL release, or to two EEOL releases before or after. For example, Junos OS Releases 17.1,
17.2, and 17.3 are EEOL releases. You can upgrade from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.2 or from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.3.
You cannot upgrade directly from a non-EEOL release to a release that is more than three releases ahead or behind. To upgrade or downgrade from a non-EEOL release to a release more than three releases before or after, first upgrade to the next EEOL release and then upgrade or downgrade from that EEOL release to your target release.
For more information about EEOL releases and to review a list of EEOL releases, see

What's New in 19.3R1

Hardware
Support for two 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceivers on the 2-port QSFP+/QSFP28 uplink
module (EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can install two 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceivers in the 2-port QSFP+/QSFP28 uplink module (model number: EX-UM-2QSFP-MR) for EX4300-48MP and EX4300-48MP-S switches. You can install two QSFP+ transceivers, two QSFP28 transceivers, or a combination of one QSFP+ transceiver and one QSFP28 transceiver in the uplink module.
If you configure both the ports on the uplink module to operate at 100-Gbps speed, the four QSFP+ ports on the switch are disabled.
[See EX4300 Switch Hardware Guide.]
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) (RADIUS)
802.1X trunk port and multidomain authentication (EX4300-48MP switches)—Starting with Junos OS
Release 19.3R1, 802.1X trunk port and multidomain authentication is supported on EX4300-MP switches. Authentication on the trunk port supports only single supplicant and single-secure supplicant modes.
39
Multidomain authentication is an extension of 802.1X authentication for multiple supplicants, which authenticates multiple clients individually on one authenticator port. Multidomain authentication allows one VoIP client and multiple data clients to authenticate to different VLANs while on the same port. The VoIP client is authenticated to the voice VLAN while the data clients are authenticated to the data VLAN.
[See Understanding 802.1X and VoIP on EX Series Switches.]
EVPN
Support for DHCP relay in an EVPN-MPLS network (EX9200 switches, MX Series, and vMX)—Starting
in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, EX9200 switches, MX Series routers, and vMX virtual routers support DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 relay in an EVPN-MPLS network. We support this feature in a data center architecture that includes a layer of spine devices that perform EVPN Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions. These devices are connected to a layer of leaf devices that perform EVPN Layer 2 functions. In this architecture, DHCP clients are connected to leaf devices, and DHCP servers are connected to spine devices. The DHCP relay functions are centralized at the spine layer. As a result, this architecture is known as the centrally routed bridging architecture.
[See DHCP Relay Agent in EVPN-MPLS Network.]
IGMP snooping support for EVPN-VXLAN (EX9200 switches, MX Series, vMX)—Starting in Junos OS
Release 19.3R1, you can configure IGMP snooping on EX9200 switches, MX Series routers, and vMX virtual routers in an EVPN-VXLAN network. Enabling IGMP snooping helps to constrain multicast traffic to interested receivers in a broadcast domain.
The listed devices support these IGMP snooping use cases in a centrally routed bridging overlay (an EVPN-VXLAN network with a two-layer IP fabric):
Forwarding multicast traffic within a VLAN (intra-VLAN)
Routing multicast traffic between VLANs (inter-VLAN) using one of the following methods:
IRB interfaces configured with Physical Interface Module (PIM) on an elected designated router (DR)
device
A PIM gateway with Layer 2 or Layer 3 connectivity
An external multicast router
The listed devices support these IGMP versions and membership report modes:
IGMPv2 with Any-Source Multicast (ASM) (*,G) mode only.
IGMPv3 in either of the following modes:
ASM (*,G)—the default behavior.
40
Single-Source Multicast (SSM) (S,G)—you must explicitly configure by including the
evpn-ssm-reports-only configuration statement at the [edit protocols igmp-snooping] hierarchy level.
[See Overview of IGMP Snooping in an EVPN-VXLAN Environment.]
Forwarding and Sampling
Customizing hashing parameters and shared-buffer alpha values for better load balancing (EX4650 and
QFX5120 switches)—These switches achieve load balancing through use of a hashing algorithm, which determines how to forward traffic over LAG bundles or to next-hop devices when ECMP is enabled. The hashing algorithm makes hashing decisions based on values in various packet fields. Starting with Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can explicitly configure some hashing parameters to make hashing more efficient. The shared-buffer pool is a global memory space that all ports on the switch share dynamically as they need buffers. The switch uses the shared-buffer pool to absorb traffic bursts after the dedicated-buffer pool is exhausted. The shared-buffer pool threshold is dynamically calculated based on a factor called alpha. Also starting with Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can specify the alpha, or dynamic threshold, value to determine the change threshold of shared buffer pools for both ingress and egress buffer partitions.
To specify hashing parameters:
user@switch# set forwarding-options enhanced-hash-key hash-parameters (ecmp | lag)
To specify a threshold value for a particular queue:
user@switch# set class-of-service shared-buffer (ingress|egress) buffer-partition buffer
dynamic-threshold value
[See hash-parameters and buffer-partition.]
Interfaces and Chassis
Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3bt (EX4300-48MP switches)—The IEEE 802.3bt standard for Power
over Ethernet (PoE) is supported on EX4300-48MP switches. The IEEE 802.3bt standard enables delivery of up to 90 W over all four pairs of wire in a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
[See Understanding PoE on EX Series Switches.]
Junos Telemetry Interface

[See Understanding OpenConfig and gRPC on Junos Telemetry Interface and Guidelines for gRPC Sensors
(Junos Telemetry Interface).]
Layer 2 Features
Configuring Q-in-Q tagging behavior for the native VLAN (EX4300 and EX4300-MP switches and
Virtual Chassis)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, when Q-in-Q tunneling is configured and an untagged packet is received on a C-VLAN interface, you can configure these switches to add either one or two tags before sending the packet out of the S-VLAN interface. To send two tags, set the configuration statement input-native-vlan-push to “enable” and ensure that the input-vlan-map configuration is set to “push”.
[See Configuring Q-in-Q Tunneling and VLAN Q-in-Q Tunneling and VLAN Translations.]
Management
OpenConfig AAA data model support (ACX1100, ACX2100, ACX5448, ACX6360, EX4300, MX240,
MX480, MX960, MX10003, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5110, and QFX10002)—Junos OS Release
19.3R1 supports the configuration leafs specified in the OpenConfig AAA data model. Mapping the OpenConfig AAA configuration to the Junos AAA configuration using the following YANG files in the data model makes this support possible:
openconfig-aaa.yang
43
openconfig-aaa-types.yang
openconfig-aaa-tacacs.yang
openconfig-aaa-radius.yang
The configuration model supporting the OpenConfig data model includes:
A translation script (.py / .slax) that maps each config leaf in the OpenConfig Schema to one or more
config leafs in the JUNOS Schema.
A deviation file (.yang) that specifies how much the implementation deviates from the vendor-neutral
model.
[See Mapping OpenConfig AAA Commands to Junos Configuration.]
Multicast
MLDv1, MLDv2, and MLD snooping (EX4650 and QFX5120-48Y switches and Virtual Chassis)—Starting
in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can configure Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) version 1 (MLDv1), MLD version 2 (MLDv2), and MLD snooping on EX4650 and QFX5120-48Y switches and Virtual Chassis. With MLD snooping enabled, these switches or Virtual Chassis replicate and forward IPv6 traffic for a multicast group only to the interfaces in a VLAN with listeners who joined the group, rather than flooding to all interfaces in the VLAN.
[See Examples: Configuring MLD and Understanding MLD Snooping.]
Routing Policy and Firewall Filters
Support for IPv6 filter-based forwarding (EX4650 and QFX5120 switches)—Starting with Junos OS
Release 19.3R1, you can use stateless firewall filters in conjunction with filters and routing instances to control how IPv6 traffic travels in a network on EX4650 and QFX5120 switches. This is called IPv6 filter-based forwarding. To set up this feature, you define a filtering term that matches incoming packets based on the source or destination address and then specify the routing instance to send packets to. You can use filter-based forwarding to route specific types of traffic through a firewall or security device before the traffic continues on its path. You can also use it to give certain types of traffic preferential treatment or to improve load balancing of switch traffic.
44
[See Firewall Filter Match Conditions for IPv6 Traffic and Filter-Based Forwarding Overview.]
Routing Protocols
RIPng routing protocol supported (EX4650 and QFX5120 switches)—Starting with Junos OS Release
19.3R1, EX4650 and QFX5120 switches support the RIPng routing protocol.
[See Basic RIPng Configuration.]
Services Applications
Support for real-time performance monitoring or RPM (EX4650) —Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
you can configure active probes to track and monitor traffic across the network and to investigate network problems on EX4650 switches.
You can use RPM in the following ways:
Monitor time delays between devices.
Monitor time delays at the protocol level.
Set thresholds to trigger SNMP traps when values are exceeded.
You can configure thresholds for round-trip time, ingress or egress delay, standard deviation, jitter, successive lost probes, and total lost probes per test.
Determine automatically whether a path exists between a host router or switch and its configured
BGP neighbors. You can view the results of the discovery using an SNMP client.
Use the history of the most recent 50 probes to analyze trends in your network and predict future
needs.
[See Understanding Real-Time Performance Monitoring on Switches.]

ERROR: i40e NVM firmware is not compatible ,please upgrade i40e NVM before installing this package
ERROR: Aborting the installation
ERROR: Upgrade failed
See [https://kb.juniper.net/TSB17603.]
Virtual Chassis
Virtual Chassis support (EX4650 and QFX5120-48Y switches)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1,
you can interconnect two EX4650 or two QFX5120-48Y switches into a Virtual Chassis, which operates as one logical device managed as a single chassis.
Member switches must be two EX4650 or two QFX5120 switches (no mixed mode).
Both member switches take the Routing Engine role with one as master and one as backup.
You can use any of the 100-Gbps QSFP28 or 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports on the front panel (ports 48
through 55) as Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) to connect the member switches.
You can run nonstop software upgrade (NSSU) to update the Junos OS release on both member
switches with minimal traffic disruption during the upgrade.
EX4650 and QFX5120 Virtual Chassis support the same protocols and features as the standalone
switches in Junos OS Release 19.3R1 except for the following:
IEEE 802.1X authentication
EVPN-VXLAN (QFX5120)
Layer 2 port security features, DHCP, and DHCP snooping
Junos telemetry interface (JTI)
MPLS
Multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG)
Redundant trunk groups (RTG)
Priority-based flow control (PFC)
Configuration parameters and operation are the same as for other non-mixed EX Series and QFX Series Virtual Chassis.

General Routing
Logical Interface is created along with physical Interface by default (EX Series switches, QFX Series
switches, MX Series routers)—The logical interface is created on ge, et, xe interfaces along with the physical interface, by default. In earlier Junos OS Releases, by default, only physical interfaces were created. For example, for ge interfaces, earlier when you view the show interfaces command, by default, only the physical interface (ge-0/0/0), was displayed. Now, the logical interface (ge-0/0/0.16386) is also displayed.
Command to view summary information for resource monitor (MX Series routers and EX9200 line of
switches)—You can use the show system resource-monitor command to view statistics about the use of memory resources for all line cards or for a specific line card in the device. The command also displays information about the status of load throttling, which manages how much memory is used before the device acts to reduce consumption.
48
See [show system resource-monitor and ].
New commit check for MC-LAG (MX Series)— We've introduced a new commit check to check the
values assigned to the redundancy group identification number on the MC-AE interface ( redundancy-group-id ) and ICCP peer (redundancy-group-id-list ) when you configure multichassis aggregation groups (MC-LAGs). If the values are different, the system reports a commit check error. In previous releases, if the configured values were different, the l2ald process would crash.
[See iccp and mc-ae.]
Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET)
Set the trace log to only show error messages (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX
Series, SRX Series)— You can set the verbosity of the trace log to only show error messages using the error option at the edit system services extension-service traceoptions level hierarchy.
See traceoptions (Services).
Multicast
Multicast Layer 2 transit traffic statistics by multicast source and group (EX4600, EX4650, and the
QFX5000 line of switches)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R3, we provide statistics on the packet count for each multicast group and source when passing multicast transit traffic at Layer 2 with IGMP snooping. Run the show multicast snooping route extensive CLI command to see this count in the Statistics: … n packets output field. The other statistics in that output field, kBps and pps, are not available (values displayed there are not valid statistics for multicast traffic at Layer 2). Before Junos OS Release
19.3R3, all three values in the Statistics output field for kBps, pps, and packets do not provide valid statistics for multicast traffic at Layer 2.
[See show multicast snooping route.]
49
Routing Protocols
Advertising /32 secondary loopback addresses to traffic engineering database as prefixes (ACX Series,
EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—We've made changes to export multiple loopback addresses to the lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as prefixes. This eliminates the issue of advertising secondary loopback addresses as router IDs instead of prefixes. In earlier releases, multiple secondary loopback addresses in the traffic engineering database were added to the lsdist.0 and lsdist.1 routing tables as part of node characteristics and advertised them as the router ID.

What's Changed in Release 19.3R2-S6

Network Management and Monitoring
Support for disconnecting unresponsive NETCONF-over-SSH clients (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series,
NFX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SRX Series, vMX, and vSRX)—You can enable devices to automatically disconnect unresponsive NETCONF-over-SSH clients by configuring the client-alive-interval and
client-alive-count-max statements at the [edit system services netconf ssh] hierarchy level. The client-alive-interval statement specifies the timeout interval in seconds, after which, if no data has been
received from the client, the device requests a response, and the client-alive-count-max statement specifies the threshold of missed client-alive responses that triggers the device to disconnect the client, thereby terminating the NETCONF session.
See ssh (NETCONF).
Changes to commit RPC responses in RFC-compliant NETCONF sessions (ACX Series, EX Series, MX
Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—When you configure the rfc-compliant statement at
the edit system services netconf hierarchy level, the NETCONF server's response for commit operations includes the following changes:
If a successful commit operation returns a response with one or more warnings, the warnings are
redirected to the system log file, in addition to being omitted from the response.
The NETCONF server response emits the <source-daemon> element as a child of the <error-info>
element instead of the <rpc-error> element.
If you also configure the flatten-commit-results statement at the edit system services netconf hierarchy
level, the NETCONF server suppresses any <commit-results> XML subtree in the response and only emits an <ok> or <rpc-error> element.
See Configuring RFC-Compliant NETCONF Sessions.

What's Changed in 19.3R2

There are no changes in behavior and syntax for EX Series in Junos OS Release 19.3R2.
50

What's Changed in 19.3R1

Interfaces and Chassis
Support for creating Layer 2 logical interfaces independently (ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX
Series, and QFX Series)—In Junos OS Release 19.3R1 and later, EX Series switches support creating Layer 2 logical interfaces independent of the Layer 2 routing-instance type. That is, you can configure and commit the Layer 2 logical interfaces separately and add the interfaces to the bridge domain or Ethernet VPN (EVPN) routing instance separately. Note that the Layer 2 logical interfaces work fine only when they are added to the bridge domain or EVPN routing instance.
In earlier Junos OS releases, when you use a Layer 2 logical interface configuration (units with encapsulation vlan-bridge configuration), then you must add the logical interface as part of a bridge domain or EVPN routing instance for the commit to succeed.
Junos OS XML API and Scripting
Range defined for confirm-timeout value in NETCONF and Junos XML protocol sessions (ACX Series,
EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, the value for the <confirm-timeout> element in the Junos XML protocol <commit-configuration> operation must be in the range 1 through 65,535 minutes, and the value for the <confirm-timeout> element in the NETCONF <commit> operation must be in the range 1 through 4,294,967,295 seconds. In earlier releases, the range is determined by the minimum and maximum value of its unsigned integer data type.
XML RPC equivalent included for the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc CLI command (ACX
Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, and SRX Series)—Starting in Junos OS Release
19.3R1, we have included an XML RPC equivalent for the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc
CLI command. In Junos OS releases before Release 19.3R1, the show bgp output-scheduler | display xml rpc CLI command does not have an XML RPC equivalent.
[See show bgp output-scheduler.]
Layer 2 Features
input-native-vlan-push (EX2300, EX3400, EX4600, EX4650, and the QFX5000 line of switches)—From
Junos OS Release 19.3R1, the configuration statement input-native-vlan-push at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level is introduced. You can use this statement in a Q-in-Q tunneling configuration to enable or disable whether the switch inserts a native VLAN identifier in untagged frames received on the C-VLAN interface, when the configuration statement input-vlan-map with a push operation is configured.
[See input-native-vlan-push.]
System Logging
Preventing system instability during core file generation (EX Series)—Starting with Release 19.3R1
onward, Junos OS checks for available storage space on the Routing Engine before generating core files either on request or because of an assertion condition. This check ensures that your device does not become unstable because of shortage of storage space on the Routing Engine. If the available space is not sufficient, core files are not generated. Instead, Junos OS either displays the Insufficient Disk space
!!! Core generation skipped message as an output or issues the syslog message core generation is skipped due to disk full.

Layer 2 Features

GARPs were being sent whenever there is a MAC (FDB) operation (add or delete). This is now updated
to send GARP when the interface is UP and the Layer3 interface is attached to the VLAN. PR1192520

Network Management and Monitoring

On EX Series switches except EX4300, EX4600, and EX9200, when RTG (Redundant Trunk Group)
switchovers are done, the /var/log/shadow.log or /var/log/shadow_debug.log is rotated. This might cause the PFE process to crash. PR1233050

Platform and Infrastructure

ARP queue limit has been changed from 100 pps to 3000 pps. PR1165757
On an EX2300 switch, the output of the show chassis routing-engine command might display an incorrect
value of "Router rebooted after a normal shutdown" for the last reboot reason field. PR1331264
When VLAN is added as an action for changing the VLAN in both ingress and egress filters, the filter is

PR1408995
On QFX5110 and QFX5120 platforms, unicast RPF check in strict mode might not work properly.
PR1417546
Minimal traffic loss of ~100 pps is seen on EX9208 when the packets are sent between FPCs. This is
due to random drops happening in the fabric. Amount of drop varies on the line rate and occurs less frequently. router@host> show pfe statistics traffic |match dropSoftware input control plane drops : 0Software input high drops : 0Software input medium drops : 0Software input low drops : 0Software output drops : 0Hardware input drops : 179892Info cell drops : 0Fabric drops : 71.PR1429714
BUM traffic rate limiting is done after removing Ethernet headers. L1 Tx rate on ingress interface: 1G
Tx rate with headers: 865 Mbps Rx rate on the egress interface:800M L1 Rx rate on egress interface: 925Mbps Storm control functionalities in MX-L card is achieved by poilcer and hence the below mentioned policer inaccuracy is applicable for storm control feature as well. Since XM sprays packets to 4 different LUs, each LU will be processing packets of varying sizes. XM does not do strict round-robin, so even if all the incoming packets were to be of exact same sizes (which is not a practical scenario), each LU will still be loaded differently, hence there will be some periods where some LUs policing limit may reach sooner than the others (either due to processing more packets or due to processing larger packets). Hence, it is possible that some LUs, which see the policing limit reached sooner may drop the packet or color them differently that might result into eventual drop while the other LUs could queue the packets for transmission, we could see this behavior within a single flow as well. Hence, the policer functionality can be unpredictable at times. In an extreme case, a packet flow might be sent to a single LU and the policer result is one-fourth of what is expected. Because the policer functionality, in general, may not work correctly, we will see the impact on all the policing features - for example, input-policer, three-color-policer (srTCM, trTCM), output-policer. PR1442842

On an EX9214 switch, if the MACsec-enabled link flaps after reboot, the error "errorlib_set_error_log():
err_id(-1718026239)" is observed. PR1448368
In overall commit time, the evaluation of mustd constraints is taking 2 seconds more than usual. This is
because the persist-group-inheritance feature has been made a default feature in the latest Junos OS releases. Eventually, this feature helps improve the subsequent commit times for scaled configurations significantly. The persist-group-inheritance feature is useful in customer scenarios where groups and nested groups are used extensively. In those scenarios, the group inheritance paths are not built every time; thus, subsequent commits are faster. PR1457939
The image size grows over a period of time and subsequently storage might be insufficient to install
images when upgrading EX2300 and EX3400 platforms. The upgrade might fail with the error message
not enough space to unpack. PR1464808

Upgrade and Downgrade Support Policy for Junos OS Releases

Support for upgrades and downgrades that span more than three Junos OS releases at a time is not provided, except for releases that are designated as Extended End-of-Life (EEOL) releases. EEOL releases provide direct upgrade and downgrade paths—you can upgrade directly from one EEOL release to the next EEOL release even though EEOL releases generally occur in increments beyond three releases.
You can upgrade or downgrade to the EEOL release that occurs directly before or after the currently installed EEOL release, or to two EEOL releases before or after. For example, Junos OS Releases 17.1,
17.2, and 17.3 are EEOL releases. You can upgrade from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.2 or from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.3.
You cannot upgrade directly from a non-EEOL release to a release that is more than three releases ahead or behind. To upgrade or downgrade from a non-EEOL release to a release more than three releases before or after, first upgrade to the next EEOL release and then upgrade or downgrade from that EEOL release to your target release.
For more information about EEOL releases and to review a list of EEOL releases, see

This section contains the procedure to upgrade or downgrade Junos OS and satellite software for a Junos Fusion Enterprise. Upgrading or downgrading Junos OS and satellite software might take several hours, depending on the size and configuration of the Junos Fusion Enterprise topology.

Basic Procedure for Upgrading Junos OS on an Aggregation Device

When upgrading or downgrading Junos OS for an aggregation device, always use the junos-install package. Use other packages (such as the jbundle package) only when so instructed by a Juniper Networks support representative. For information about the contents of the junos-install package and details of the installation process, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.
NOTE: Before upgrading, back up the file system and the currently active Junos OS configuration
so that you can recover to a known, stable environment in case the upgrade is unsuccessful. Issue the following command:
user@host> request system snapshot
77
The installation process rebuilds the file system and completely reinstalls Junos OS. Configuration information from the previous software installation is retained, but the contents of log files might be erased. Stored files on the routing platform, such as configuration templates and shell scripts (the only exceptions are the juniper.conf and ssh files), might be removed. To preserve the stored files, copy them to another system before upgrading or downgrading the routing platform. See the Junos OS Administration Library.
To download and install Junos OS:
1. Using a Web browser, navigate to the Download Software URL on the Juniper Networks webpage:
https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/
2. Log in to the Juniper Networks authentication system using the username (generally your e-mail address) and password supplied by Juniper Networks representatives.
3. Select By Technology > Junos Platform > Junos Fusion to find the software that you want to download.
4. Select the release number (the number of the software version that you want to download) from the Version drop-down list on the right of the page.
5. Select the Software tab.
6. Select the software package for the release.
7. Review and accept the End User License Agreement.
8. Download the software to a local host.
9. Copy the software to the routing platform or to your internal software distribution site.
10. Install the new junos-install package on the aggregation device.
NOTE: We recommend that you upgrade all software packages out of band using the console
because in-band connections are lost during the upgrade process.
Customers in the United States and Canada, use the following commands:
user@host> request system software add validate reboot source/package.tgz
All other customers, use the following commands, where n is the spin number.
78
user@host> request system software add validate reboot source/package-limited.tgz
Replace source with one of the following values:
/pathname—For a software package that is installed from a local directory on the router.
For software packages that are downloaded and installed from a remote location:
ftp://hostname/pathname
http://hostname/pathname
scp://hostname/pathname (available only for Canada and U.S. version)
The validate option validates the software package against the current configuration as a prerequisite to adding the software package to ensure that the router reboots successfully. This is the default behavior when the software package being added is a different release.
Adding the reboot command reboots the router after the upgrade is validated and installed. When the reboot is complete, the router displays the login prompt. The loading process might take 5 to 10 minutes.
Rebooting occurs only if the upgrade is successful.

Upgrading an Aggregation Device with Redundant Routing Engines

If the aggregation device has two Routing Engines, perform a Junos OS installation on each Routing Engine separately to minimize disrupting network operations as follows:
1. Disable graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) on the master Routing Engine and save the configuration change to both Routing Engines.
2. Install the new Junos OS release on the backup Routing Engine while keeping the currently running software version on the master Routing Engine.
3. After making sure that the new software version is running correctly on the backup Routing Engine, switch over to the backup Routing Engine to activate the new software.
4. Install the new software on the original master Routing Engine that is now active as the backup Routing Engine.
For the detailed procedure, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Preparing the Switch for Satellite Device Conversion

There are multiple methods to upgrade or downgrade satellite software in your Junos Fusion Enterprise. See Configuring or Expanding a Junos Fusion Enterprise.
For satellite device hardware and software requirements, see Understanding Junos Fusion Enterprise
Software and Hardware Requirements.
79
Use the following command to install Junos OS on a switch before converting it into a satellite device:
user@host> request system software add validate reboot source/package-name
NOTE: The following conditions must be met before a Junos switch that is running Junos OS
Release 14.1X53-D43 can be converted to a satellite device when the action is initiated from the aggregation device:
The switch running Junos OS can be converted only to SNOS 3.1 and later.
Either the switch must be set to factory-default configuration by using the request system
zeroize command, or the following command must be included in the configuration: set chassis auto-satellite-conversion.
When the interim installation has completed and the switch is running a version of Junos OS that is compatible with satellite device conversion, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the device using the console port.
2. Clear the device:
[edit] user@satellite-device# request system zeroize
NOTE: The device reboots to complete the procedure for resetting the device.
If you are not logged in to the device using the console port connection, your connection to the device is lost after you enter the request system zeroize command.
If you lose connection to the device, log in using the console port.
3. (EX4300 switches only) After the reboot is complete, convert the built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces from Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) into network ports:
user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port port-number
For example, to convert all four built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces on an EX4300-24P switch into network ports:
user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 0
80
user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 1 user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 2 user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 3
This step is required for the 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces that will be used as uplink interfaces in a Junos Fusion topology. Built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces on EX4300 switches are configured into VCPs by default, and the default settings are restored after the device is reset.
After this initial preparation, you can use one of three methods to convert your switches into satellite devices—autoconversion, manual conversion, or preconfiguration. See Configuring or Expanding a Junos
Fusion Enterprise for detailed configuration steps for each method.

Converting a Satellite Device to a Standalone Switch

If you need to convert a satellite device to a standalone device, you must install a new Junos OS software package on the satellite device and remove it from the Junos Fusion topology. For more information, see
Converting a Satellite Device to a Standalone Device.

Upgrade and Downgrade Support Policy for Junos OS Releases

Support for upgrades and downgrades that span more than three Junos OS releases at a time is not provided, except for releases that are designated as Extended End-of-Life (EEOL) releases. EEOL releases provide direct upgrade and downgrade paths—you can upgrade directly from one EEOL release to the next EEOL release even though EEOL releases generally occur in increments beyond three releases.
You can upgrade or downgrade to the EEOL release that occurs directly before or after the currently installed EEOL release, or to two EEOL releases before or after. For example, Junos OS Releases 17.1,
17.2, and 17.3 are EEOL releases. You can upgrade from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.2 or from
Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.3.
You cannot upgrade directly from a non-EEOL release to a release that is more than three releases ahead or behind. To upgrade or downgrade from a non-EEOL release to a release more than three releases before or after, first upgrade to the next EEOL release and then upgrade or downgrade from that EEOL release to your target release.
For more information about EEOL releases and to review a list of EEOL releases, see
https://www.juniper.net/support/eol/junos.html

Downgrading from Junos OS

Junos Fusion Enterprise is first supported in Junos OS Release 16.1, although you can downgrade a standalone EX9200 switch to earlier Junos OS releases.
81
NOTE: You cannot downgrade more than three releases.
For more information, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.
To downgrade a Junos Fusion Enterprise from Junos OS Release 19.2R1, follow the procedure for upgrading, but replace the 19.2 junos-install package with one that corresponds to the appropriate release.

This section contains the procedure to upgrade Junos OS, and the upgrade and downgrade policies for Junos OS for Junos fusion for provider edge. Upgrading or downgrading Junos OS might take several hours, depending on the size and configuration of the network.

Basic Procedure for Upgrading an Aggregation Device

When upgrading or downgrading Junos OS, always use the jinstall package. Use other packages (such as the jbundle package) only when so instructed by a Juniper Networks support representative. For information about the contents of the jinstall package and details of the installation process, see the Installation and
Upgrade Guide.
88
NOTE: Before upgrading, back up the file system and the currently active Junos OS configuration
so that you can recover to a known, stable environment in case the upgrade is unsuccessful. Issue the following command:
user@host> request system snapshot
The installation process rebuilds the file system and completely reinstalls Junos OS. Configuration information from the previous software installation is retained, but the contents of log files might be erased. Stored files on the routing platform, such as configuration templates and shell scripts (the only exceptions are the juniper.conf and ssh files), might be removed. To preserve the stored files, copy them to another system before upgrading or downgrading the routing platform. See the Installation and Upgrade Guide.
The download and installation process for Junos OS Release 19.3R3 is different from that for earlier Junos OS releases.
1. Using a Web browser, navigate to the Download Software URL on the Juniper Networks webpage:
https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads/
2. Log in to the Juniper Networks authentication system by using the username (generally your e-mail address) and password supplied by Juniper Networks representatives.
3. Select By Technology > Junos Platform > Junos Fusion to find the software that you want to download.
4. Select the release number (the number of the software version that you want to download) from the Version drop-down list to the right of the page.
5. Select the Software tab.
6. Select the software package for the release.
7. Review and accept the End User License Agreement.
8. Download the software to a local host.
9. Copy the software to the routing platform or to your internal software distribution site.
10. Install the new jinstall package on the aggregation device.
89
NOTE: We recommend that you upgrade all software packages out-of-band using the console,
because in-band connections are lost during the upgrade process.
Customers in the United States and Canada, use the following commands.
For 64-bit software:
NOTE: We recommend that you use 64-bit Junos OS software when implementing Junos
Fusion Provider Edge.
user@host> request system software add validate reboot
source/jinstall64-19.3R3.SPIN-domestic-signed.tgz
For 32-bit software:
user@host> request system software add validate reboot
source/jinstall-19.3R3.SPIN-domestic-signed.tgz
All other customers, use the following commands.
For 64-bit software:
NOTE: We recommend that you use 64-bit Junos OS software when implementing Junos
Fusion Provider Edge.
user@host> request system software add validate reboot
source/jinstall64-19.3R3.SPIN-export-signed.tgz
For 32-bit software:
user@host> request system software add validate reboot
source/jinstall-19.3R3.SPIN-export-signed.tgz
Replace source with one of the following values:
/pathname—For a software package that is installed from a local directory on the router.
For software packages that are downloaded and installed from a remote location:
90
ftp://hostname/pathname
http://hostname/pathname
scp://hostname/pathname (available only for the Canada and U.S. version)
The validate option validates the software package against the current configuration as a prerequisite for adding the software package to ensure that the router reboots successfully. This is the default behavior when the software package being added is for a different release.
Adding the reboot command reboots the router after the upgrade is validated and installed. When the reboot is complete, the router displays the login prompt. The loading process might take 5 to 10 minutes.
Rebooting occurs only if the upgrade is successful.
NOTE: After you install a Junos OS Release 19.3R3 jinstall package, you cannot return to the
previously installed software by issuing the request system software rollback command. Instead, you must issue the request system software add validate command and specify the jinstall package that corresponds to the previously installed software.

Upgrading an Aggregation Device with Redundant Routing Engines

If the aggregation device has two Routing Engines, perform a Junos OS installation on each Routing Engine separately as follows to minimize disrupting network operations:
1. Disable graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) on the master Routing Engine and save the configuration change to both Routing Engines.
2. Install the new Junos OS release on the backup Routing Engine while keeping the currently running software version on the master Routing Engine.
3. After making sure that the new software version is running correctly on the backup Routing Engine, switch over to the backup Routing Engine to activate the new software.
4. Install the new software on the original master Routing Engine that is now active as the backup Routing Engine.
For the detailed procedure, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Preparing the Switch for Satellite Device Conversion

Satellite devices in a Junos fusion topology use a satellite software package that is different from the standard Junos OS software package. Before you can install the satellite software package on a satellite device, you first need to upgrade the target satellite device to an interim Junos OS software version that can be converted to satellite software. For satellite device hardware and software requirements, see
Understanding Junos Fusion Software and Hardware Requirements
91
NOTE: The following conditions must be met before a standalone switch that is running Junos
OS Release 14.1X53-D43 can be converted to a satellite device when the action is initiated from the aggregation device:
The switch can be converted to only SNOS 3.1 and later.
Either the switch must be set to factory-default configuration by using the request system
zeroize command, or the following command must be included in the configuration: set chassis auto-satellite-conversion.
Customers with EX4300 switches, use the following command:
user@host> request system software add validate reboot
source/jinstall-ex-4300-14.1X53-D43.3-domestic-signed.tgz
Customers with QFX5100 switches, use the following command:
user@host> request system software add reboot
source/jinstall-qfx-5-14.1X53-D43.3-domestic-signed.tgz
When the interim installation has completed and the switch is running a version of Junos OS on one line that is compatible with satellite device conversion, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the device by using the console port.
2. Clear the device:
[edit] user@satellite-device# request system zeroize
NOTE: The device reboots to complete the procedure for resetting the device.
If you are not logged in to the device by using the console port connection, your connection to the device is lost after you enter the request system zeroize command.
If you lose your connection to the device, log in using the console port.
92
3. (EX4300 switches only) After the reboot is complete, convert the built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces from Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs) into network ports:
user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port port-number
For example, to convert all four built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces on an EX4300-24P switch into network ports:
user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 0 user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 1 user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 2 user@satellite-device> request virtual-chassis vc-port delete pic-slot 1 port 3
This step is required for the 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces that will be used as uplink interfaces in a Junos Fusion topology. Built-in 40-Gbps QSFP+ interfaces on EX4300 switches are configured into VCPs by default, and the default settings are restored after the device is reset.
After this initial preparation, you can use one of three methods to convert your switches into satellite devices—autoconversion, manual conversion, and preconfiguration. See Configuring Junos Fusion Provider
Edge for detailed configuration steps for each method.

Converting a Satellite Device to a Standalone Device

If you need to convert a satellite device to a standalone device, you must install a new Junos OS software package on the satellite device and remove the satellite device from the Junos Fusion topology.
NOTE: If the satellite device is a QFX5100 switch, you need to install a PXE version of Junos
OS. The PXE version of Junos OS is software that includes pxe in the Junos OS package name when it is downloaded from the Software Center—for example, the PXE image for Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D43 is named install-media-pxe-qfx-5-14.1X53-D43.3-signed.tgz . If the satellite device is an EX4300 switch, you install a standard jinstall-ex-4300 version of Junos OS.
The following steps explain how to download software, remove the satellite device from Junos fusion, and install the Junos OS software image on the satellite device so that the device can operate as a standalone device.
1. Using a Web browser, navigate to the Junos OS software download URL on the Juniper Networks webpage:
https://www.juniper.net/support/downloads
2. Log in to the Juniper Networks authentication system by using the username (generally your e-mail address) and password supplied by Juniper Networks representatives.
93
3. Select By Technology > Junos Platform > Junos Fusion from the drop-down list and select the switch platform series and model for your satellite device.
4. Select the Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D30 software image for your platform.
5. Review and accept the End User License Agreement.
6. Download the software to a local host.
7. Copy the software to the routing platform or to your internal software distribution site.
8. Remove the satellite device from the automatic satellite conversion configuration.
If automatic satellite conversion is enabled for the satellite device’s member number, remove the member number from the automatic satellite conversion configuration. The satellite device’s member number is the same as the FPC slot ID.
[edit] user@aggregation-device# delete chassis satellite-management auto-satellite-conversion
satellite member-number
For example, to remove member number 101 from Junos Fusion:
[edit]
user@aggregation-device# delete chassis satellite-management auto-satellite-conversion
satellite 101
You can check the automatic satellite conversion configuration by entering the show command at the [edit chassis satellite-management auto-satellite-conversion] hierarchy level.
9. Commit the configuration.
To commit the configuration to both Routing Engines:
[edit] user@aggregation-device# commit synchronize
Otherwise, commit the configuration to a single Routing Engine:
[edit] user@aggregation-device# commit
94
10. Install the Junos OS software on the satellite device to convert the device to a standalone device.
[edit] user@aggregation-device> request chassis satellite install URL-to-software-package fpc-slot
member-number
For example, to install a PXE software package stored in the /var/tmp directory on the aggregation device onto a QFX5100 switch acting as the satellite device using FPC slot 101:
[edit] user@aggregation-device> request chassis satellite install
/var/tmp/install-media-pxe-qfx-5-14.1X53-D43.3-signed.tgz fpc-slot 101
For example, to install a software package stored in the var/tmp directory on the aggregation device onto an EX4300 switch acting as the satellite device using FPC slot 101:
[edit] user@aggregation-device> request chassis satellite install
/var/tmp/jinstall-ex-4300-14.1X53-D30.3-domestic-signed.tgz fpc-slot 101
The satellite device stops participating in the Junos Fusion topology after the software installation starts. The software upgrade starts after this command is entered.
11. Wait for the reboot that accompanies the software installation to complete.
12. When you are prompted to log back into your device, uncable the device from the Junos Fusion topology. See Removing a Transceiver from a QFX Series Device or Remove a Transceiver, as needed. Your device has been removed from Junos Fusion.
NOTE: The device uses a factory-default configuration after the Junos OS installation is
complete.

Upgrading an Aggregation Device

When you upgrade an aggregation device to Junos OS Release 19.3R3, you must also upgrade your satellite device to Satellite Device Software version 3.1R1.
95

Upgrade and Downgrade Support Policy for Junos OS Releases

Support for upgrades and downgrades that span more than three Junos OS releases at a time is not provided, except for releases that are designated as Extended End-of-Life (EEOL) releases. EEOL releases provide direct upgrade and downgrade paths—you can upgrade directly from one EEOL release to the next EEOL release even though EEOL releases generally occur in increments beyond three releases.
You can upgrade or downgrade to the EEOL release that occurs directly before or after the currently installed EEOL release, or to two EEOL releases before or after. For example, Junos OS Releases 17.1,
17.2, and 17.3 are EEOL releases. You can upgrade from Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.2 or from
Junos OS Release 17.1 to Release 17.3.
You cannot upgrade directly from a non-EEOL release to a release that is more than three releases ahead or behind. To upgrade or downgrade from a non-EEOL release to a release more than three releases before or after, first upgrade to the next EEOL release and then upgrade or downgrade from that EEOL release to your target release.
For more information about EEOL releases and to review a list of EEOL releases, see
https://www.juniper.net/support/eol/junos.html.

Downgrading from Junos OS Release 19.3

To downgrade from Release 19.3 to another supported release, follow the procedure for upgrading, but replace the 19.3 jinstall package with one that corresponds to the appropriate release.
NOTE: You cannot downgrade more than three releases.
For more information, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide.

What’s New in Release 19.3R2

Hardware
NOTE: The MX2K-MPC11E line card is supported in Junos OS 19.3R2 and later 19.3 releases
and in Junos OS 20.1R1 and later Junos OS releases. It is not supported in any Junos OS 19.4 releases.
MX2K-MPC11E (MX2010 and MX2020 routers)—Junos OS Release 19.3R2 introduces the
MX2K-MPC11E Modular Port Concentrator (MPC). The MX2K-MPC11E is a fixed-configuration MPC which delivers bandwidth up to 4-Tbps per MPC slot for MX2020 and MX2010 routers. Optimized for speeds of 100-Gigabit Ethernet and higher, the MPC11E provides 400-Gigabit Ethernet-ready ports with multi-rate QSFP-DD interfaces for seamless 100-Gigabit Ethernet to 400-Gigabit Ethernet upgrades. The MX2K-MPC11E supports native MACsec and IPsec encryption that can originate and terminate thousands of IPsec sessions with no impact on performance.
The MX2K-MPC11E port panel has 40 rate-selectable (multi-rate) QSFP ports. You can use any port as a 100-Gigabit Ethernet interface, 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface (using breakout cables). The 40 QSFP-DD optical transceiver ports are grouped into eight sets of five ports. A
port group compose a logical PIC in the software. You can configure different data rates for each port group as long as the total throughput for the port group does not exceed 500 Gbps.
NOTE: The MX2K-MPC11E line card is also supported in Junos OS 20.1R1 and later Junos
OS releases. It is not supported in any Junos OS 19.4 releases.
MX-SPC3 Services Card (MX240, MX480, and MX960)—Starting with Junos OS Release 19.3R2, the
MX-SPC3 Services Card is available on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. The MX-SPC3 card provides additional processing power to run Next Gen Services. The MX-SPC3 contains two Services Processing Units (SPUs) with 128 GB of memory per SPU. Line cards such as DPCs, MICs, and MPCs intelligently distribute all traffic traversing the router to the SPUs to have services processing applied to it.
Next Gen Services provide the best of both routing and security features on MX Series routers MX240, MX480, and MX960. All Next Gen Services are provided by the MX-SPC3 services card Next Gen Services provide capabilities for manipulating traffic before it’s delivered to its destination. Next Gen Services features run on the MX Series, and are based on a different software architecture than legacy MX Series services. You can run Next Gen Services on MX240, MX480 and MX960 routers. Some Next Gen Services features use different Junos CLI statements than the equivalent legacy service.
98
NOTE: The only services card that supports Next Gen Services is the MX-SPC3. Next Gen
Services use their own software architecture, which is not compatible with legacy services.
Table 1 on page 99 summarizes the Next Gen Services supported in this release.
