RFC2544 on Juniper SRX300
Hello,

I have a customer WAN with 20ish SRX300s & 1 MX80 connected and need to setup RFC2544 to prove out the WAN circuits.

Is RFC2544 supports on the SRX in later JunOS versions?

I don’t want to go through the process of upgrading the OS and not get access to the feature.

Current versions running.


Model: srx300

Junos: 15.1X49-D140.2

JUNOS Software Release [15.1X49-D140.2]

Re: RFC2544 on Juniper SRX300 [ In reply to ]
Page 6 of the SRX300 series datasheet states in the fineprint;
16* "Throughput numbers based on UDP packets and RFC2544 test methodology."

That said, I don't see RFC2544 generation and reflection explicitly stated anywhere, nor do I see the config syntax supported up to 15.1X49-D160.2

Juniper KB shows ACX and MX as supported platforms, so perhaps you could create a loopback on the SRX, or do your tests between routing-instances on the MX.

Re: RFC2544 on Juniper SRX300 [ In reply to ]
Yes only MX (https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/rfc2544-benchmarking-test-overview.html ) and ACX (https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/services-rpm-rfc2544-benchmarking-test-overview.html ) appear to have generator capabilities.

See also - https://apps.juniper.net/feature-explorer/feature-info.html?fKey=6492&fn=RFC%202544-based%20benchmarking%20tests%20for%20Layer%202%20and%20Layer%203%20Ethernet%20services

ACX has built-in loopback capabilities associated with this testing - https://apps.juniper.net/feature-explorer/feature-info.html?fKey=7062&fn=Ethernet%20loopback%20support%20for%20RFC%202544-based%20benchmarking%20test

I thought that was the case, I couldn't find it either, thanks for the validation.

I'll just spin up some iperf3 instances and beat on the network that way.
