NOTE

PR1463859 introduces a software defect that causes a 10GE interface to flap continuously when configured with the WAN-PHY framing with the default "hold-down" timer (0). Once you upgrade a router to an affected software release, the interface may flap continuously. This is not applicable to an interface with the default framing - LAN-PHY. [TSB17782]

1452363	The pfed might crash and not be able to come up on the PTX or TVP platforms	The flow label statistics are retrieved periodically by pfed for PTX or TVP platforms, if the statistics reply becomes very big number, the pfed might crash hence affecting traffic.
1458008	MX: syslog errors @ pfed: rtslib: ERROR received async message with no handler: 28	An MX router configured for Subscriber Management, and "chassis network-services enhanced-ip", may see log messages similar to Jan 1 01:00:00 MXrouter_RE0 pfed: rtslib: ERROR received async message with no handler: 28
1458143	PFED fails to retrieve statistics from PFE for (ESSM) subscribers. Error message: libstats_error: interim-or-baseline-stats-not-found	In some occasions upon FPC reboot, the pfed database might not get updated with the correct location_id for some physical interfaces (IFDs). This results in an error when the timeout for a ESSM subscriber connected to such an interface reaches it's limit and the pfed daemon tries to collect the statistics for the subscriber in PFE based on this wrong location_id. The error "essmd[xxxx]: is_stats_error_retryable: ifl name: ge-x/x/x.xxx, libstats_error: interim-or-baseline-stats-not-found" will be logged in the messages log.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: MPC Fusion SW
1463859	The MPC2E-NG/MPC3E-NG card with specific MIC might crash after a high rate of interface flaps	If any MIC of MIC-3D-2XGE-XFP / MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP / MIC-3D-20GE-SFP-E / MIC-3D-20GE-SFP-EH / MIC-MACSEC-20GE is installed in MPC2E-NG/MPC3E-NG card, the Microkernel (uKern) might hog for CPU on Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) when there is a high rate of interface flaps (~30/40 flaps per second). This will eventually trigger the MPC2E-NG/MPC3E-NG card crash with an NGMPC core file. Normally the excessive interface flapping won't happen frequently in real world and it may be caused due to external environment. This fix will reduce the impact and prevent the uKern hog when having such conditions.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: Border Gateway Protocol
1366823	Ukern memory leak and core crash in BGP environment	Ukern memory leak and fpc core crash might be happened when device configured link-node protection with labeled-bgp.
1389379	FPC might crash when BGP multipath is configured with protection	When running with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) multipath with protection configured, it is possible to encounter a situation where nexthops references are not properly decremented, thus causing the system to hold onto nexthops when they should be freed. This leads to a memory hog situation which eventually results in a Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) crash.
1454198	The rpd scheduler slip for BGP GR might be up to 120s after the peer goes down	In BGP GR (graceful-restart) scenario (graceful-restart is configured for BGP or GR-helper mode is enabled by default), when high-scale routes get learnt from one peer, the rpd scheduler slip might be up to 120s after that BGP peer flaps.
1454951	The rpd process might crash when multipath is in use	If multipath is enabled, in some certain conditions, The rpd process might crash while secondary route resolution is running.
1487691	RPD's bgpio thread goes into high CPU utilization when the outgoing BGP updates queue is full	RPD goes into high CPU utilization causing slow BGP network convergence on a large scale setup. The high CPU utilization of the BGP IO thread (bgpio) happens when the outgoing BGP update queue is full. The typical situation is a BGP Route-Reflector (RR) sending a large number of BGP updates (900K routes) to a large number of slow peers (more than 200 peers). This issue is the side-effect of PR1351639. (See also https://kb.juniper.net/TSB17725)

This is being observed due to software issues as wrong weights are being set for existing child interfaces in the AE bundle.

1140087	Mosquitto log file management enhancement	Before 16.2R1, Mosquitto daemon (3rd party s/w) does not have log management features. It will write logs named with "mqtt_" under /var/log/ until the disk is full which is a problem. After 16.2R1, Junos adds the log management features to the Mosquitto logs. The log size can be maximum 4.0 Mbytes and it keeps 10 archives. From 18.4 onwards, Junos will not use such daemon so these logs won't be generated at all.

PR Number	Synopsis	Category: SNMP Infrastructure (snmpd, mib2d)
1350826	SNMP Traps not being sent by the new primary RE after RE mastership switchover	Sometimes, the trap-source-address bind is getting delayed because the platform does not attach the respective IP to any of the interfaces on the router. But since trap is generated at the start before any configured trap source-address is not yet bound properly, this trap is not added into the throttle/destination trap queues.
1392616	The snmpd process might crash and cause a core dump	The snmpd process leaks memory in the SNMPv3 query path and crashes. The issue is caused by a memory leak when the request PDU is dropped by SNMP when the snmp filter-duplicates configuration is enabled. Each request PDU has a structure pointer for the SNMPv3 security details. This is allocated when the PDU is created or cloned. But while dropping the duplicate requests, the corresponding structure is not freed, which causes the memory leak.
1413352	The SNMP query might not get data in scaled Layer 2 circuits environment.	When a large-scale AE interfaces are configured with a large-scale l2circuits, if executing snmpwalk on interface OID's, the query may time out and the data could not be retrieved. When the issue occurs, below error could be observed. user@router> show snmp mib walk 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 ... ifInOctets.70781 = 75155380 Request failed: General error user@router> show snmp mib walk ifHCInOctets ifHCInOctets.831 = 340482960268874 Request failed: General error It is to be noted that all general errors are not an issue. If there are interface flaps and churns in the system during which snmp query happens on the same interface which is flapping, then general error is the way to report it because stats cannot be fetched during the churn/flap duration.

At last, it may cause the mgd process to enter and to stay in lockf status. Thus, the user might not enter configure mode anymore.
