PR Number Synopsis Category:Software build tools (packaging, makefiles, et. al.)
1417345 The JSU package installation may fail
  		In a specific scenario, the JSU (Junos OS selective upgrade) package installation on a router which has JET (Juniper Extension Toolkit) package installed may fail due to "Operation not permitted" error. This issue does not impact service and traffic.
PR Number Synopsis Category:EX4300 Control Plane
1461434 ERP might not revert back to IDLE state after reload/reboot of multiple switches
  		On EX4300 platforms configured with ERP, after multiple devices reboot/restart at the same time, ERP might not revert back to the IDLE state. This issue might be seen in situations where the ERP node-id is not configured manually and after the restart, the default node-id (switch base MAC address) might get reset to 00:00:00:00:00:00, effectively causing multiple devices to have the same node-id.
PR Number Synopsis Category:QFX PFE L2
1437577 Physical layer and MAC/ARP learning might not work for copper base SFP-T on QFX5100/QFX5110/EX4600
  		On QFX5100/QFX5110/EX4600 platforms, if copper base SFP-T is used, it might not get up on physical layer and the MAC/ARP learning might not work if it gets up. The PR fixes both layer-1 and layer-2 issues in this scenario.
PR Number Synopsis Category:access node control protocol daemon
1453826 The ANCP interface-set QoS adjusts may not be processed
  		In the MX subscriber management scenario, partial ANCP (access node control protocol) interface-set QoS adjusts may not be processed when configuring protocol ANCP for subscriber management. This issue may cause subscriber's QoS attributes are not expected to CoS (class of service) policy.
1453837 DT_BNG: ANCP subscriber information is lost after daemon restart
  		Cosmetic issue that affects only CLI. Radius, L2tp etc. are unaffected. CLI issue is seen after ANCP restart and before ANCP neighbor is re-established and port-ups are received. Under normal working conditions, after ANCP restart, the port-ups should be received right away and the CLI issue will be never seen.
PR Number Synopsis Category:the replication daemon (repd) for Shared Memory-base
1434363 The repd process might crash after booting first time with a newly installed Junos release
  		On dual REs (Routing Engine) MX platforms with subscriber management scenario, the repd process might crash after booting first time with a newly installed Junos release. The repd (Replication Daemon) is a process to synchronize subscriber information across REs, so normally the repd crash has no impact on the live service.
PR Number Synopsis Category:Bi Directional Forwarding Detection
1448649 JUNOS BFD sessions with authentication flaps after a certain time
  		In the scenario where BFD session authentication is configured, after a certain period of time, BFD sessions flaps may be seen, this will cause the neighbor to be down.
PR Number Synopsis Category:Border Gateway Protocol
1351639 The rpd crashes in JunOS 16.1 or higher during BGP convergence
  		In JunOS 16.1 or higher, during BGP convergence, the input/output thread constructing the outgoing BGP PDU and manipulating the path attributes before hand-off the data to the socket. If this PDU length is zero, it will trigger an assertion and routing-protocol demon is restarting.
PR Number Synopsis Category:MX Platform SW - Mastership Module
1424187 The system does not reboot or halt as configuration when encountering the disk error
  		When the system encounters disk error or halted system (ex. memory leak), the chassisd might go in hung state with the blow error messages even though "disk-failure-action reboot" or "disk-failure-action halt" is configured.
PR Number Synopsis Category:JUNOS Dynamic Profile Configuration Infrastructure
1188434 UID may not release properly in some scenarious after service session deactivation
  		When same UID objects are used in both inet and inet6 services of the same subscriber session, deactivation the first session cause conditions which avoid releasing UID entry after deactivation second service session. This leads to having stale UID entry and can cause subscriber's connection problem in the future when UID pool would be completely exhausted. The probability of hitting the issue increases if amount subscriber to amount of unique services ratio is aproaching 1 (i.e. when almost every subscriber has a service with unique servie objects).
PR Number Synopsis Category:PTX Express ASIC interface
1428307 One interface does come up after FPC reboot
  		Due to Broadcom firmware issue under some error condition, Broadcom retimer will assert pmd-lock bit with a closed eye, in order to recover from this condition Junos code will issue force pmd-lock command every time we trying to bring up a link in "DOWN" state.
PR Number Synopsis Category:Libjtask for RPD tasks, scheduler, timers, memory, and slip
1431033 Traceoptions file is exceeding configured file size limit and the file keeps on growing
  		With 64-bit RPD running and traceoptions configured e.g. for BGP or MPLS statistics etc., the trace files are not rotating/rolling over as per the configured file size limit and the logs continue to be written to a single file continuously.
PR Number Synopsis Category:jdhcpd daemon
1464267 The repd process is not working in Junos releases 18.2R3-S1 and 18.2R2-S5 on some low-end Junos platforms
  		In Junos releases 18.2R3-S1 and 18.2R2-S5, on some low-end Junos platforms which have only 4G RAM (Random Access Memory ) memory or smaller (e.g. all low-end SRX), the repd process is not working. The issue results in the subscriber services like DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), authentication can't be synchronized to the standby RE (Routing engine). In this case, if upgrade/GRES (Graceful Routing Engine Switchover) is performed, the synchronization between the REs via the repd process fails, which results in subscriber services like DHCP, authentication can't work on the new RE after the upgrade/GRES. There is no restoration for the repd process. However, the service affected by the repd synchronization can be recovered by restart the service or reboot the device.
