17.1R3-S2 - List of Fixed issues

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: Firewall Filter
1473093	Traffic might not be forwarded into the right queue but the default queue when VPLS traffic has three or more VLAN tags with VLAN priority 5	On the MX platform with MPC line card (except DPC line card) used, if an input firewall filter is configured at the ingress VPLS interface, the packet with a VLAN priority of 5 with three or more VLAN tags might be forwarded into the wrong queue. When this occurs, it might cause traffic loss due to congestion as all traffic is forwarded into the default queue.

1399369	CPU hog may be observed on PTX/QFX10000 Series platform	On PTX/QFX10000 series platform, CPU hog on PFC may be observed if the adaptive feature is enabled to load-balance for an AE interface.

1484255	FPC might crash when dealing with invalid next-hops	On PTX3000/PTX5000 platform with some specific FPCs, if the weights of links are set to an invalid value on an AE bundle interface or unilist (an unilist next-hop composed of several unicast next-hops), the FPC crash might be observed. It is a rare issue and the FPC will try to reload to resolve this problem. Traffic loss might be seen before the FPC completes the reload period.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: RPD policy options
1357802	Configuration commit operation after policy change causes rpd crash	The rpd might crash during policy configuration changes.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: SNMP Infrastructure (snmpd, mib2d)
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.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: Stout PF fabric (SFB2)
1461356	Traffic might be impacted because the fabric hardening is stuck	Fabric hardening (FH) is the process of controlling bandwidth degradation to prevent traffic black hole. When FH is processing, if SFB/SCB get failure, FH process will be stuck, which will get traffic lost.

Please refer to https://kb.juniper.net/JSA10987 for more details.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: Bi Directional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
1354409	AE interface and BFD session remain down after interface disable/enable	With Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) configured on an aggregated Ethernet interface, if you disable/enable the aggregated Ethernet interface, then that interface and the BFD session might not come up.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: Border Gateway Protocol
1351639	The rpd crashes in JunOS 16.1 or higher during BGP convergence	In JunOS 16.1 or higher, during BGP convergence, the input/output thread constructing the outgoing BGP PDU and manipulating the path attributes before hand-off the data to the socket. If this PDU length is zero, it will trigger an assertion and routing-protocol demon is restarting.
1487691	High CPU utilization might be observed when the outgoing BGP updates are sending slowly	On all Junos platforms with BGP scenario, the rpd process might go into high CPU utilization if there are a few BGP peers that are sending the updates slowly. The high CPU utilization of the BGP IO thread (bgpio, it is part of the rpd daemon) happens when the outgoing BGP update queue is full. This defect could cause a slow BGP network convergence problem.

1269229	After MACsec link flaps, traffic forwarding across the MACsec link might not be received	After the MACsec session flaps, data traffic sent over the MACsec-enabled link might not be properly received and the receiving device might report the received frames as "framing errors" in the output of show interfaces command.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: mc-ae interface
1447693	The l2ald might fail to update composite NH	This is a timing issue where the l2ald receive underlay NH from rpd as part of LSI IFF ADD (VPLS core NH) and creates flood NH. Due to LSI flap on switchover, the l2ald receives multiple LSI IFF Add and Delete in some order. In some sequence where rpd delete underlay NH from Kernel Forwarding table but the l2ald still create flood NH with this underlay NH, because IFF delete is yet to be received at the l2ald, so l2ald might fail to update Composite NH. This is generic L2 issue and can happen without mc-ae.

PR Number	Synopsis	Category: JUNOS Network App Infrastructure (for ping, traceroute, etc)
1463622	The cosmetic error messages of NTP time synchronization might be seen during device booting	In NTP with the boot-server scenario, when the router or switch boots, the NTP daemon will send a ntpdate request to poll the configured NTP boot-server to determine the local date and time. If the ntpdate is not be activated correctly while the device booting, the ntpdate might not work successfully. Then some cosmetic error messages of time synchronization might be seen, but there is no impact with time update since ntp daemon will update the time eventually.
PR Number	Synopsis	Category: IPSEC functionality on M/MX/T ser
1444183	The kmd process might crash and restart with a kmd core file created if IP of NAT mapping address for IPsec-VPN remote peer is changed.	The kmd (Key Manager Daemon) process is mainly responsible for IPSec key negotiation. When IPsec-VPN peers enable Network Address Translation-Traversal (NAT-T) and established IKE SA (IPsec security associations) with Dynamic Endpoint (DEP) tunnel through the intermediate NAT device, the kmd might crash when IP of NAT mapping for IPsec-VPN remote peer is changed. The kmd crash may result in IPSec traffic loss. When kmd crashes, the established IPsec tunnel will not be affected, unless the IPsec SA re-negotiate happens to take place during the kmd restarting. For the new establishing IPSec tunnel, it cannot be established until kmd comes back up automatically. In rare cases, the kmd will restart, but it may crash again.
