Re: [j-nsp] port mirror on EX causing crash

Yes this is what has happened to us... twice in two days. Only change on the switch was setting up a port mirror... This would probably consume a bit more memory which may have triggered the crash. I have already organised the RMA, was just wondering about the mirroring. Luca -Original Mes

Yep - listen to JTAC. The parity error is definitely a sign that the memory on your switch is flakey - I had an EX4200 completely lock-up and drop out of a VC after 6 months of flawless operation. Rebooted it and it came good, 24 hours later it dropped right back out again with the parity erro

Wondering if anyone has seen any issues with EX switches running port mirroring - specifically seeing the switch generate a 'parity error' and crashing? I have an EX4200 10.4r5.5, a few hours after turning on port mirroring the switch crashed. It threw some memory parity errors which JTAC tells

I think you'll need at least an M20 for your 10 GigE requirement as well as SDH. If you can somehow get a different transit circuit than your SDH one, an MX5 would be a much closer (throughput-wise) and better bang-for-your-buck replacement for a 7206 than an M-series. J-series with a T1 module co
