[j-nsp] Moving onto EX2300

[Gustav Ulander]

Yea lets make the customers job harder partly by not supporting old features in the next incarnation of the platform (think VRF support) . Also lets not make them work the same so that the customer must relearn how to configure them. 
Excellent way of actually pushing the customer to also look at other platforms...

Thanks to all the replies so far!

Regarding a VC Licence -
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/ex-series-software-licenses-overview.html#jd0e59

Here are the features which require a EFL:

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) version 1 (IGMPv1), IGMPv2, and
IGMPv3
IPv6 routing protocols: Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 and 2 (MLD v1/v2), OSPFv3, PIM multicast, VRRPv6 Multicast Source Discovery protocol (MSDP) OSPF v2/v3 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) dense mode, PIM source-specific mode, PIM sparse mode Real-time performance monitoring (RPM) RIPng (RIPng is for RIP IPv6) Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

Which seems straight forward, but they have this bit at the end -
Note: You require a paper license to create an EX2300 Virtual Chassis. If you do not have a paper license, contact Customer Support.


And looking at the EX2300 packing list:

* Paper license for Virtual Chassis (only for the models EX2300-C-12T-VC, EX2300-C-12P-VC, EX2300-24T-VC, EX2300-24P-VC, EX2300-48T-VC, and
EX2300-48P-VC)

So it appears I may need to ensure i'm ordering EX2300-48P-VC if I want to stack 'em, I need to check the finer details with Juniper.

Cheers,

William
