Junos OS: EX4300-MP/EX4600/QFX5K Series: High CPU load due to receipt of specific layer 2 frames when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration
On Juniper Networks EX4300-MP Series, EX4600 Series and QFX5K Series deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration, receipt of a stream of specific layer 2 frames can cause high CPU load, which could lead to traffic interruption. This issue does not occur when the device is deployed in Stand Alone configuration. The offending layer 2 frame packets can originate only from within the broadcast domain where the device is connected.
