Description

The dcd process crashes when deactivating only 'swap' under 'system output-vlan-map' with no other attributes present

Symptoms

On all Junos and Junos OS Evolved platforms, the dcd process crash occurs when the swap attribute is deactivated under 'system output-vlan-map' and no other attributes are present.
This issue is triggered by the following configuration steps:
  1. deactivate system output-vlan-map swap
  2. commit.


Solution

On all Junos and Junos OS Evolved platforms, this issue  affects configurations where Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) mapping is used, particularly in scenarios where only the swap attribute 
is applied under 'system output-vlan-map'. If swap is deactivated while no other attributes exist in that hierarchy, it can result in a crash of the device control daemon (dcd) process, potentially
causing service disruption.

Triggers:
This issue might be seen if the following conditions are met: * On all Junos and Junos OS Evolved platforms * 'output-vlan-map' is configured

 

Workaround:

Use 'deactivate system output-vlan-map' instead of 'deactivate system output-vlan-map swap' when there are no other attributes under 'output-vlan-map'
