1784909Policy Based Routing will not work as intended when it is configured with 'next-ip/next-ip6' on all ACX Junos OS Evolved platforms except ACX7024
Product-Group=evo
FIB (Forwarding Information Base) compression feature compresses multiple routes with the same unique forwarding behavior (such as forwarding next-hops) into a single route to save forwarding entries in hardware. If compression happens for route involving PBR (Policy Based Routing) configured 'next-ip/next-ip6' action, then PBR handling for forwarding nexthops gets impacted. PBR will not work properly with the traffic.

Product-Group=evo
Some timing features (SyncE/PTP/TWAMP) do not work as expected and PLL (Phase-locked loop) input and lock failure alarms can occur on Junos OS Evolved platforms after the following sequence: 1. Insert an RCB (Routing and Control Board) in a running system (OR, remove and then insert back RCB in a running system). 2. Do Switchover after the new RCB is ready for switchover. This problem can be avoided using the workaround specified in the PR.

The device is went into config locked state due to stale mgd. For netconf sessions with , if ungraceful exit happens, the lock is not released. There is auto cleanup supported for such cases, But it is not triggered under problem conditions as faced in this PR. This leads to device remain in locked state due to stale entry. "request system logout pid " can be used for cleanup and to recover from this state.

Product-Group=evo
On Junos Evolved ACX platforms, traffic drops are observed when an update is processed in the L2Circuit (Layer 2 Circuit)/L2VPN (Layer 2 VPN) scenario on executing the CLI command "clear isis database all". The issue happens due to the reuse of the same port resource when PFE (Packet Forwarding Engine) receives the deletion and addition of port resources.
