EX2300 Code
Hi,

I am in the process of getting our first stack of EX2300s ready for
production, can anyone recommend any specific versions of junos to run
on them?

I'm not taking advantage of any advance features, just after something
stable :)

Cheers,

William

What you shall NOT run on ex2300 is versions released between Feb 2019
and late November 2019 (we hit this bug on 19.2R1 and 19.3R1):

Number PR1442376
Release Note On EX2300/EX2300-C platforms, if Junos software is with FreeBSD
kernel version 11 with the build date on or after 2019-02-12, the switch may
stop forwarding traffic or responding to console. Power cycle of switch would
recover the issue.

If Juniper provides a version which is stable for more that a few weeks
let me know. I've been chasing version upgrades for months now.

A note on that.

Not only does the switch stop responding and needs to be power cycled, but in our case while this happens uplink ports on a redundant ring bridge BPDUs from working switches and you get a nice linerate traffic loop going.

We also use those as OOB management for our MX routers and other gear, and without any l2 protection MX starts slipping and drops BGP and other important protocols while this happens.

As per TAC recommendation, we've downgraded to the latest 15.X version, been stable for about a week.

We've not had any issues (so far) with either 15.1X53-D5?1, or 18.2R2.6.
Only using them for L2 distribution or QinQ, though. So your mileage may vary.

    Well,

    Our RMA experience with those model is not great...  good luck =D.

    PS: JTAC made us got down to 15.1X53-D592.1 after several issues of
port being stuck open (STP) and looping our OOB Management :(

Always use the JTAC recommends version unless you have a specific feature you need that is not supported in that version.

https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB21476 <https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB21476>

Thus... 15.1X53-D591 or 18.2R3-S2 should be good to go.
