Just to close the loop on this for list.posterity, the issue turned out to be a dead or hung process. Apparently there’s a daemon that watches for hardware changes in the chassis configuration. That meant that the OS could never properly configure the port to bring it up. Since the router was not yet in production, JTAC recommended a reboot, which has apparently solved the problem. JunOS version 18.3R3.8. —Chris _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
