It feels like we are having progressively more "CEF problems" with Juniper boxes. It would be really great if Juniper provided some commands with the intent of bringing the PFE back into sync with what the control-plane says should be in it, in a low-impact manner that does not involve bringing interfaces down and up, bouncing fabric modules, literally or effectively rebooting, etc. Of course I would like to have fewer malfunctions / bugs, but I can live with them more easily if getting the box back to a correctly-functioning state is a low-impact operation. I don't think Juniper really gets this. Bugs happen, that's life; but if the vendor provides a relatively pain-free way to remedy the situation, it can save us from tough choices like, do we reboot a box at 2pm to restore correct function, or live with some serious headache and customer gripe until 2am when a reload will cause less collateral damage to unaffected customers or services? -- Jeff S Wheeler <[email protected]> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
