It's too bad that Junipers bugs aren't listed publicly. For clueful network operations, having this information available to them could have enabled them to properly weigh the risk of evaluating and certifying versions of their operating systems.
Well, you have to have support to get a fixed JUNOS, and if you have support, you can subscribe to notifications about new PSNs (based on device, OS, etc.). I get email about PSNs relevant to my hardware and software, and I go read them to see if the apply to my specific setup.
Am I wrong in thinking that not all PSNs are public, even to contract-holding customers There have been times in interacting with their sales engineering group and JTAC, who have sent me bug details that were not locatable when searching their PSN database. I have a feeling that PSNs are only noted and released to customers once there's a fix for a problem. This is getting off-topic somewhat, so I suggest we leave this thread be to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high. There's more in-depth discussion taking place on NANOG. Cheers, jof
