[j-nsp] EX4200 JunOS Recommendation
Greetings all, I'm looking for a code recommendation for EX4200's. I'm planning some network wide upgrades and I have an idea of what I want to run, but I was curious what the list would recommend. Most of the switches will be layer-2 only with, 10G or AE uplinks, VC of course. We've run into some pretty significant bugs in the past, just wondering what everyone else is running. Thanks, Keegan ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Re: [j-nsp] EX4200 JunOS Recommendation
We're still running the last recommended code which was 10.0S6.1 and haven't had any issues ... YMMV of course...;) Haven't read the release notes yet to see what the upgrades resolve that perhaps we either didn't know about or didn't care about...

It seems to work for my L2-only deployment for both standalone and VC EX4200s. I've tested 10.3R1.9 on EX2200 and just deployed a couple. So far no problems there either. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Re: [j-nsp] EX4200 JunOS Recommendation
We've now settled on 10.2R3 on our EX4200s, and EX2200s. When I tried to do upgrades to the JTAC recommended releases I managed to almost brick my EX2200's in the process. (i.e. when booting, they simply waited 15 mins for mgd to settle, amongst other nasty deadlocking situations in the boot process. Had to Ctrl-C the boot process a few times on a few different EX2200s and EX4200s on the Juniper's Recommended Releases. Again, this is just what is working for us There's a nasty known-bug with 10.2R3 on MXes, but that's not related to the EX line (I hope); as it's MPC/DPC related (and not just to Trio cards, ras =)). - Chris.

I'm still running 9.5 everywhere. Apart from one DHCP relay oddity it works fine. Once DHCP6 relay is in I'll upgrade, but the main reason I haven't is that I currently have one feature working that shouldn't. If Juniper actually delivered on their promise of IPv6 equality this wouldn't be an issue (and that's enough for anyone who cares to figure out what I mean). -- Julien Goodwin Studio442 Blue Sky Solutioneering signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

In one of our networks, we have 9.3R2.8 and 9.5R4.3 running
on a few. These will soon be upgraded, but have otherwise
been stable save for a few VLAN management related bugs.
In out other network, we've been rolling out 10.2R2.11 across
the board for a while, and then 10.2R3 had to go and drop...
I tell you, even dogs would finally catch their tails. It's
simply insane.
That said, we've been running 10.2R2.11 on an EX4200 operating
as a pure Layer 2 switching node, but with IS-IS so we can
manage it. No major issues, although it appears outbound
firewall filters for IPv6 are not supported on VLAN
interfaces:
