The process rpd may crash in BGP setup with NSR enabled. |
In BGP setup where "prefix-limit" is configured with teardown parameter and damping is configured, if a flapping route is received, the related figure of merit doesn't reach the "suppress-limit" but it causes the device to teardown the respective peer since the "prefix-limit" to be exceeded, then the process rpd may crash because of the corruption on the NSR process to resync the database entries. |
1398849 |
IPSEC tunnel can not be established because that the tunnel SA and rule are not installed in the PIC |
On MX-Series platforms, when IPSEC is used in an interoperability scenario with other verndor`s devices (such as CISCO/HUAWEI) and peer device sends IPSEC tunnel establishment request using the port and protocol as Traffic/Flow distinguisher, the SA for the tunnel is not installed in the PIC, namely the impacted tunnels are up on the RE but these are not programmed in the PFE. It would cause that IPSEC tunnel can not be established and traffic failure. |

Ports 4, 5, 14, 15, 24 and 25 on PTX10008 and PTX10016 FPC LC1101 may fail to come up after a link flap or FPC reboot |
Due to a regression in Junos 17.4R2-S3, the following ports on JNP10K-LC1101 on PTX10008/10016 might not come up after FPC reboot or port flap: 4, 5, 14, 15, 24, 25. JNP10K-LC1102 does not expose this behaviour. |
1407855 |
Traffic over the AE getting policed to the policer applied on one of the IFLs when the vlan-id is changed |
Sometimes in AE case, the CVLAN information is not available during filter bind. Subsequently, when child IFL is added multiple times, AE IFL finally gets the CVLAN information and filter entries were updated. But the AE IFL still does not have CVLAN info and entire IFD traffic is matchedin filter entry. This causes disruption to IFLs which does not have any filter. For solution, a new table is maintained to keep track of AE IFLs which does not have CVLAN info. When the tirgger comes from child IFL add, the table is checked & if present allowed to proceed for tcam reinstall for that IFL. |

Extended ports in JFE do not adjust MTU when VoIP is enabled |
In Junos Fusion Enterprise (JFE) setups, Voice over IP (VoIP) enabled extended ports on satellite devices (SD) are set to the default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of 1514 bytes. Due to this, the maximum data size is limited to 1468 bytes beyond which packets are dropped with MTU errors (when DF bit is set). |
1413686 |
The unexpected AS prepending action for AS path might be seen after the no-attrset knob is configured or deleted with vrf-import/vrf-export configuration |
If the independent AS domain (It is enabled with independent-domain knob, and attribute set messages are enabled by default) is configured for the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance, the global autonomous system (AS) number in the master routing instance should be prepended to the AS path when the route prefix is imported into the VRF instance. And with no-attrset configured (which disable the attribute set messages), the global AS number in the master routing instance should not be prepended to the AS path. But the current implementation violate the above behavior when vrf-import/vrf-export policy is used in the VRF routing-instance and the no-attrset knob is configured or deleted. |

VC Ports using DAC may not establish link on QFX5200 |
On QFX5200, when virtual-chassis is configured, if the QSFP configured as VCP is removed and then inserted, VC Ports using direct attach copper (DAC) may not establish link. |
1414965 |
LDP route is not present in inet6.3 if IPv6 interface address is not configured |
LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) checks for configured IPv6 interface address before it brings up the LDP IPv6 interface. If the interface is not configured with IPv6 interface address, LDP will not bring up the LDP IPv6 interface, hence LDP fails to install the route in inet6.3. |
1415077 |
Dynamic routing protocol flapped with vmhost RE switchover on NG-RE |
In NG-RE dual RE platform, some commands for RE switchover might lend process rpd to down/up, due to a delay that made the process chassisd failed to update its status of mastership promptly. As the mastership status the chassisd governed determines which action the process rpd need to take the next, so if RE is rebooted and the chassisd mastership state is RE-Master then, in that case, rpd clears all the kernel states; and if chassisd mastership state for that RE is RE-Backup, then rpd just quits silently and restarts again in backup mode without any kernel states being cleaned. So that rpd cleanup kernel states caused this issue. |

The traffic might get blackholed in Junos Fusion Enterprise scenario with dual-AD |
In Junos Fusion Enterprise scenario with dual-aggregate device (dual-AD), if the inter-chassis link (ICL) is over FPC EX9200-12QS , "show chassis satellite redundancy-group" might show "session pending". ICL link may not come up, so that redundancy with dual-AD cannot be achieved and the cascade port on a AD goes down, traffic diversion over ICL cannot occur and hence traffic will be blackholed. |
1417252 |
Complete device outage might be seen when SPU VM core happens |
On SRX high-end platforms, when SPU (Services Processing Unit) VM core happens on one node, this triggers bad kernel state on this node and complete device outage could be seen, which means all IGP and BGP adjacencies would be affected. The reason is that the SPU VM core causes primary PE to dump live VM core, which blocks jsrpd from committing RG (Redundancy Group) state updates to kernel to set PFE to primary state. And if no PFE is in the primary state traffic would be lost because the original primary SPU is reset in the process of booting up. It is a very rare timing issue. |

Traffic is dropped after FPC reboot with AE member links deactivated by remote device |
On PTX series platforms with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enabled, deactivating a remote Aggregate Ethernet (AE) member link will make the local member link move to LACP Detached state. The Detached link will be invalidated from the PFE AE-Forwarding table as expected. However, if the device is rebooted with this state, all the member links will be enabled in PFE AE-Forwarding table irrespective of LACP states and result in traffic drop. |

Traffic not flowing through macsec interfaces when configured with an unknown cipher algorithm and change back |
When an unsupported cipher was configured, macsec_cap_is_not_capable flag in pic structure will be set to TRUE. However, the issue was that the flag remained TRUE and was not being set to FALSE even though the cipher suite was reverted back from unsupported one to supported. As a result the check always returned TRUE. The fix now corrects this and updates the macsec_cap_is_not_capable flag to FALSE when it is a supported cipher suite. |
