Product-Group=evo 		After FPC offline, minor cm-errors may occur for ZFI block on other FPCs. These errors are cleared and should not affect system functionality.
1621037 Incorrect sensor modeling/mapping when using /junos/system/linecard/interface/ native telemetry streaming in EVO based platforms.
Product-Group=evo 		On Branch 20.4R3-S1-EVO and 21.2R2-EVO: The interface sensor will export UDP data with either 158 or 58. This is a bug that was fixed in future releases
PR Number Synopsis Category: EVO L2 Control Protocols Support
1570498 If more than 512 OSPF neighbors are configured, all OSPF routes may not be learned unless the MTU of the IRB interface is modified.
Product-Group=evo 		On all QFX Evo platforms, if scaled OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) neighbors (e.g 512 neighbors) are formed over IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) interfaces with layer 2 interfaces in the interface-mode trunk, the OSPF routes might be not learned from the neighbors. The issue results in traffic loss.

1626714 Broadcast traffic might not be forwarded to LT interface in VPLS routing instance after LT interface is deleted then added back
Product-Group=evo 		On MX platforms, when Logical Tunnels (LT) interface is used for VPLS, VPLS broadcast traffic might not be forwarded to LT interface properly after deleting the LT interface adding it back, which might cause LT interface missing from VPLS flood topology and eventually affects VPLS communication.
PR Number Synopsis Category: PTX10K RE EVO Issues
1617720 Unexpected RE switchover might be observed on EVO platforms
Product-Group=evo 		On all EVO platforms with dual RE, automatic RE switchover might be observed unexpectedly since the feature "chassis redundancy failover" is enabled by default.

1600435 The dfwc and dcd processes may crash when a commit-check is performed after a previously terminated (with ctrl+c) commit-check
Product-Group=evo 		During performing commit-check for the firewall and interface related configurations, if an operator uses the ctrl+c to abort it, the dfwc and dcd may crash after performing another commit-check. This issue will happen only with those daemons that follow the message-based commit-check model (such as dfwc, dcd, rdmd and fwa), and has no impact on other daemons.

1624629 "show pfe route ip" is getting timeout when route table size is large
Product-Group=evo 		When running "show pfe route ip" command on PTX10001 and PTX10003, an internal script will be run to output the data. Since this script stores all the data into a buffer and once completed, it will result the output. When the data size is large, eg collect complete route internet table, it will turn into timeout (15 seconds)

1621347 On scaling system, load override and commit of baseline cfg can cause RPD sensors uninstallation to fail
Product-Group=evo 		On scaling system, load override and commit of baseline cfg causes RPD to spin high on CPU. As GRPC config is removed aswell, sensors needs to be uninstalled. But RPD is not responding to these telemetry sensors uninstallation requests. So sensors uninstallation fails. Later when GRPC is enabled back on box and same sensor profile( cfg .json file used with jtimon) is requested from collector, RPD is sending pkts with higher sequence numbers(Because sensor was not removed from RPD earlier) and this is considered as drops by collectors which rely on sequence-numbers.
PR Number Synopsis Category: PTX10003 Platform related issues
1600870 In PTX, if the marvd daemon is restarted (due to a crash), the line card will have access issues and reboot.
Product-Group=evo 		Should the marvd daemon restart for any reason, the device becomes unreachable because of PCI uncorrectable non-fatal AER errors getting generated on marvd restart and system goes for reboot without any core. This is a rare event that occurs if there marvd crashes.

1602131 Layer 2 host injected packets might not go out of IRB interface for 40G link
Product-Group=evo 		On PTX10001-36MR/PTX10004/PTX10008/PTX10016 platforms with Junos OS Evolved, when 40G interface is configured as L2 interface, if by any chance the interface gets stream id as 32 and if that port is where host injected packet over IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) interface has to go out, then the packet drop issue might be seen.
