Looking for anyone with real-world experience on this. I've been wanting to do filter-based forwarding (aka policy-based routing) on my QFX 5100 for a while. It works on IPv4, but didn't on IPv6. That means you can't have a firewall rule with a "routing instance" terminating action in v6.
I'd given up on it ever working, but I noticed the docs were updated to say the feature was added for the qfx5100 in 19.1R1:
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/routing-policy/topics/concept/filter-based-forwarding-qfx-series.html
Well, I happen to be on 20.2R2 so I tried to configure it again and... it still doesn't seem to work.
Anybody out there have FBF for IPv6 working on a qfx5100? Is there any reason it would be listed in 19.1 but not work in 20.2? There wasn't a Feature Explorer entry for this specific feature so I can't find any other info on the exact releases that support it.
Now that it's EOL, I guess I could just jump to 21.2 (the last supported release) and hope for the best...
Thanks,
Jason
