This article explains why the " warning: a firewall filter term includes log/syslog and accept. A packet matching the firewall filter would not be routed across EX2300 switch " commit warning is issued on QFX5100 platforms, and indicates whether any action must be taken to clear the warning.

When committing any change on QFX5100 that is running Junos OS release 18.3R1.9, a warning message appears for an EX2300 Series switch:

{master:0}
root@switch> configure
Entering configuration mode

{master:0}[edit]
root@switch# set interfaces xe-0/0/0 description test

{master:0}[edit]
root@switch# commit
[edit firewall family inet filter PROTECT-RE term ALLOW-SSH then]
  'accept'
    warning: a firewall filter term includes log/syslog and accept. A packet matching the firewall filter would not be routed across EX2300 switch.
[edit firewall family inet filter PROTECT-RE term ALLOW-SSH then]
  'accept'
    warning: a firewall filter term includes log/syslog and accept. A packet matching the firewall filter would not be routed across EX2300 switch.
[edit firewall family inet filter PROTECT-RE term ALLOW-SSH then]
  'accept'
    warning: a firewall filter term includes log/syslog and accept. A packet matching the firewall filter would not be routed across EX2300 switch.
configuration check succeeds
commit complete

These messages were added to the QFX platform by design to raise awareness about a known bug in the EX2300 Series switches where if a firewall filter term that has log or syslog with accept is assigned to an interface, traffic might be dropped without any warning when commit or commit-check is issued.

{master:0}
root@switch> show configuration firewall family inet filter PROTECT-RE
term ALLOW-SSH {
    from {
        source-address {
            10.0.0.0/8;
        }
        destination-port ssh;
    }
    then {
        count ALLOW-SSH;
        log;
        accept;
    }
}
term ALLOW-IP-FRAGMENTS {
    then log;
}
term DENY-ALL {
    then {
        count DENY-ALL;
        log;
        discard;
    }
}

These messages are harmless and can be ignored.
