Is having an issue with getting link.  The port shows state as Down with a flag set to Transceiver-Absent:

 

root@gamora> show interfaces extensive no-forwarding
Physical interface: et-0/0/20, Enabled, Physical link is Down
 Interface index: 1053, SNMP ifIndex: 545, Generation: 597000455426

 Ethernet FEC Mode :                 FEC91
   FEC Codeword size                    528
   FEC Codeword rate                  0.973

 

 

Solution

The issue is tied to the FEC Mode.  The interface defaults to FEC91.  However, the QSFP28-100G-LR4 does not support any FEC mode in Junos EVO.

For link to come up with the optics, FEC mode should be set to 'none':
