Juniper SFP Troubleshooting Guide

This document contains information about troubleshooting various network issues including: 1. Fiber optic cable power levels, types of SFPs (small form-factor pluggable) including CWDM and DWDM, and cable/SFP types. 2. Layer 2 issues such as address hashing, STP/VRRP mismatches, VLAN configuration errors, and broadcast storms. 3. BGP issues like ECMP flapping, route states, RPKI validation, and timer configuration. 4. ISIS protocol flapping, label configuration, microloops, OSPF/BGP flapping, and packet loss. 5. Python and Linux scripting examples for monitoring, data

Troubleshooting cases

L1
 Fiber Power levels -67 to -30 dBm (-30 dBm is best and -90dBm is no signal)
 Types of SFP's.
 CWDM - 1470 to 1610 nm(8 colors) (soft coded Wavelength with high spacing bw channels.)
 DWDM - (32 colors) (hardcoded, long distance comm. sfp's with denser channel spacing)
 types of cables and SFP's.
o Twin aux
o aqua, yellow, orange, SFP, QSFP, CSFP

L2
 L-2 lag address hashing issue caused lacp mac missing on hw prog and resulting in register counter drops,
intermittent arp-resolution issues and bgp flaps.
 VRRP and STP mismatch causing root bridge and primary router mismatch and dropping traffic because of
forwarded and blocked pots in stp on primary router.
o reason somebody added lowest IP address on the second bridge with same root bridge Priority.
 VPC Same Domain ID configuration caused mac-address duplication that caused issues.
 Broadcast storm issue with catalyst switches.
 L2-Secure Vlan with Hospira.
 Route Recursive resolution similarly next-hop recursive resolution.

BGP
 BGP ECMP next hop link flap, recursive resolution with ldp causing index not reset to up.
 BGP prefix states "Accepted DeletePending" under extensive hidden routers supposed to be under hidden table
but still active when BGP route flap damping is enabled.(PR1556656)
 BGP RPKi Route validation to avoid route leak and route hijack with the following states
"Valid/invalid/unknown" periodic serial notify state routs may get deleted and added back without bgp peer
flap. (PR1556656)
o ROV - Route Origin Validation
o Lab Validator - Routinator
 Change in RPKI timers leads to records timeout (1594597)
Refresh/record/hold timers have to be config in proper ratios for right operational behavior.
 BGP three way establishment mismatch because of duplicated loopback ip address.
 Network design with campus network at Hospira call center.
 
ISIS:
 ISIS Protocol flap on the interface as a result of Multicast/TTL/resolve ddos.
 ISIS will configure push/pop 0 label instead of regular label causing traffic interruption.
 ISIS RSVP/LSP micro loops frr resolution(More details below)(2021-0223-0106)
 OSPF/BGP Flap (More details Below) (2021-0828-250693)
 Interface Packet loss may be the cause of OSPF stuck in the Exchange state.
 ISIS/OSPF forwarding and traffic loss
o This issue might be seen if the following conditions are met:
* The forwarding member nexthop of unilist nexthop is down while there is another active forwarding
member nexthop.
* "load-balance per-packet" is configured
* Host generated traffic (e.g. BGP) is forwarded
