When the J-series was initially released, there were order numbers that came with some ports software-disabled, and you could pay for a key to enter to unlock the additional ports. It looks like the certificate used to check the keys has expired. Since they are EOL, I doubt Juniper is going to release an updated JUNOS with an updated key; the only solution will probably be to set the clock back (and disable NTP). I wonder if the MX5-MX80 routers face the same eventual issue. It would be good for Juniper to issue an official statement about this; hardware with planned obsolescence built in is not good. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
