[j-nsp] MX5 with bras?

Fri Dec 7 21:06:01 EST 2012

Thanks Skeeve.

We have had MX5/MX10/MX80 doing BRAS at customer deployments since around
March - the 11.2R5.4 release has a number of nasty bugs and wish they would
stop recommended it on their site. that was the second release in 11.2 we
had ran at the time.  Then we went into two different 11.4R code releases
and ran into some other issues and finally 11.4X27 came out and squashed
most of those bugs (but not nearly all of them unfortunately).  The
issues/bugs we ran into were mainly PPPOE related.

Also, we have seen a lot of similarity in the bugs on MX80 based hardware as
we have seen in MX480/960 BRAS boxes - some different, some the same to
date..

At the moment, we are faced with a few challenges on this platform .. one is
the load on the box with under 4k users (quite high at times) and a more
recent issue has re-surfaced involving PPPOE sessions not timing out
properly.

YMMV of course.

Paul,

I understand that the 11.4X27 was required for the functionality for the MX
Midrange Family and that it is not in the mainline until later where it was
said that it will be merged in at 12.2R4 which has just been released (Nov
20).  I am not sure if all the functionality made it into this version or
not as I haven't looked/tested it.

Please also note that the JTAC recommended is still at 11.2R5.4 - but this
is due for an update soon I would think since the las update was 10 months
ago.

Just to clarify - latest X27 code is recommended for BRAS however you do not
require an X release for the functionality.
