Description

This article provides confirmation that the configuration under the set interfaces <interface-name> speed hierarchy in M320 Series devices has been removed in Junos OS release 15.1, making speed unconfigurable.

Symptoms

Customers may encounter a syntax error as shown below when they attempt to configure speed settings in M320.

In Junos OS release 13.3, speed is configurable and can be set to 100mbps as shown below:

However, it is removed in Junos OS release 15.1.

Solution

There is no workaround available for the above because the M320 device and software code are End of Engineering and End of Support.
