I have done the same. One thing to remember is that even though you can run 
dual-RE on the MX304, the QFX won’t be able to do an upgrade without rebooting. 
Don’t plan to do ISSU in such a setup.

I think you're referring to the Nested VM Model:

We built an OOB network exactly like that. Cheap L3 switches talking OSPF to 
each other over their own 1G DWDM channels, completely independent of the 
production network. A separate OOB network used to be crazy expensive, but with 
cheap DWDM gear suddenly all you need is a free DWDM channel and some cheap 
second hand L3 switches. And that's what we connect our fxp0 ports to.

[j-nsp] MX10003 rack size

2019-08-06 Thread Sander Steffann
Hi,

Has anyone ever managed to fit a Juniper MX10003 in a 90cm deep rack? Without 
applying power tools to either the rack or the router ;)

Re: [j-nsp] IPv6 firewall policy for MX

2019-06-28 Thread Sander Steffann
Hi,

> Is there a good online resource for IPv6 firewall policy/hardening for MX 
> series routers?

I would start with the IPv6 filter example starting on page 336 of Juniper MX 
Series, 2nd Edition (ISBN: 978-1-4919-3272-8). There are eBook versions 
available, and o'Reilly Safari gives you online access. See 
https://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/jnbooks/oreilly-juniper-library/mx-series/.

If you have the 1st edition it should be around page 260.

Sander

Haha! That would indeed be a useless combination :)

I didn't do an upgrade but I replaced an SRX last week. Went from an SRX210 
with 12.1X to an SRX345 with 18.4R. Almost the whole configuration was 
copy The interface names were different, but that was about it. I see no 
reason why an upgrade wouldn't have worked: it's basically the same as 
copy an old config to a new OS release.

Yep, that sounds exactly like what's happening!

[j-nsp] DNS Flag Day

2019-01-25 Thread Sander Steffann
Hi,

When doing some investigation for the upcoming DNS Flag Day 
(https://dnsflagday.net: February 1st 2019) I got some bad news from one of the 
service providers: they use Juniper SRX firewalls, and claim that they can't 
properly support EDNS because of a bug in their SRX firewalls. This seems 
outrageous to me. Is this just because they haven't upgraded their JunOS for 
years, they're running ancient DNS server software, or is there really a 
problem?

I didn't get any more information from them, just "it's because of Juniper". An 
example test can be seen here: https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp/704c5b6649:

I am wondering what's going on here, and whether there is really a bug in JunOS 
on SRX or whether it's just "easiest to blame the firewall"...

It won't, because at that time both CLUSTER_IDs are in CLUSTER_LIST, which will 
stop it from looping between RR1 and RR2.

Sorry, I don't follow that example.

If PE1 talks to RR1 and RR2 then both will keep the directly received route 
because its CLUSTER_LIST length will be 0, compared to 1 when received from the 
other RR.

If PE1 only talks to RR1 then RR2 will only receive the routes from RR1, which 
will be the best path. RR2 receives it with the CLUSTER_LIST containing RR1's 
ID, and will advertise it with both RR1's and its own ID. If that route comes 
back to RR1 it will ignore it because its CLUSTER_ID is already in CLUSTER_LIST.

What am I missing?

Cheers,
Sander
