Juniper krt queue problems
2018-03-22

Juniper is somewhat (in-)famous for unhelpful and/or superfluous error messages. We faced a new one on our Juniper MX boxes recently. A normal-looking static route was committed, the next-hop was reachable via an irb interface bound to a VPLS instance:

[edit routing-options static]
    +    route 10.1.2.168/29 {
    +        next-hop 10.1.2.167;
    +        tag 666;
    +    }
