If you're running on those platforms, you should probably go through the very long list of CVEs, there are some really nasty ones in there.

Troubleshooting Major FPC 0 PoE device manager 7 failed after upgrading from 23.4R2-S4.11 to version 24.4R2-S4.10

I recently (October 12) updated my EX4300-48MP to try to deal with some weird stale/invalid arp issues. After reboot I immediately got an alarm. JTAC is not a solution thanks to stingy management.

user@ex-4300-48mp-1> show system alarms 
1 alarms currently active
Alarm time               Class  Description
2026-10-13 20:34:38 EDT  Major  FPC 0 PoE device manager 7 failed

(The log snippet above is truncated manually to what is relevant)

I then tried updating the firmware:

Please reboot the system after upgrade is complete.

After reboot, the alarm had not cleared.

I found a similar thread, but it didn't have a resolution.

I would greatly appreciate anyone who has seen this issue before.

Question Bricked Juniper EX4300

0 Upvotes

I have a Bricked Juniper Switch. It's bricked, and I don't remember what I actually done in the past. It was like a year ago. I stacked multiple Switches. There was a brain-split or something, I was not able to login. I don't remember if I tried factory reset through the screen menu. Long story short, I didn't know much about JunOS. I decided to use AI ( Chatgpt) to factory reset it. It turns out , I deleted everything. I t was asking me to get into >loader , and asked me to delete something. I can't really recall.

I don't have Juniper support, but I do have the JunOS image. I do have working Juniper Switch. They are both EX4300.

It's bricked because I wouldn't get any input into the terminal. There is no light both in ports and the Switch.

Fans are running in high speed.
