Description

ACX7024 running software 25.2R1-S1.4-EVO.


Symptoms

Customer reported that dscp-code-point was working fine on device ACX7024 running software code 23.4R2-S4.11-EVO. However, after upgrade to softwawre 25.2R1-S1.4-EVO it is observed that knob dscp-code-point is not supported.


ACX7024 running software code 23.4R2-S4.11-EVO:


In this version, host-outbound-traffic can be rewritten dscp value by knob dscp-code-point.

host-outbound-traffic {

forwarding-class NETWORK-CONTROL;

dscp-code-point 110000;

}


ACX7024 running software code 25.2R1-S1.4-EVO:


But in the lastest version of ACX7024 (25.2R1-S1.4-EVO), we observed that knob dscp-code-point is not supported, and therefore, dhcp value in host-outbound packets cannot be rewritten if needed.

host-outbound-traffic {

forwarding-class EF;

##

## Warning: statement ignored: unsupported platform (ACX7024)

##

dscp-code-point 001000;

}


Version 25.2R1-S1.4-EVO use the same image for ACX7020 and ACX7024.


Solution

The dscp-code-point knob for host-outbound-traffic was explicitly excluded for the platform ACX_EVO_CHASSIS and EVO_PTX .


This exclusion was introduced as part of commit changes in software code 25.1R1-EVO.


However, this exclusion was not present in the 23.4 release. Hence, customer were able to see this feature working in 23.4R2-S4.11-EVO release. 


As a result, any configuration attempting to rewrite DSCP values for host-outbound traffic on these platforms is ignored by design on latest code from 25.1R1-EVO onwards.


It is not a bug but behaviour changes.

let me know if there are any further querires.
