Installing OVSDB on Juniper Networks Devices
The Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) software is included
in the jsdn
package. For some Juniper
Networks devices, the jsdn
package
is included in the Junos OS software (jinstall
) package. On these Juniper Networks devices, you do not need to
install the separate jsdn
package,
which means that you can skip the task described in this topic. For
information about which devices do not require installation of the
separate jsdn
package, see OVSDB Support on Juniper Networks Devices.
If the jsdn
package for your
Juniper Networks device is not included in the jinstall
package, you must copy a separate jsdn
package to the Juniper Networks device and then install the package.
The package name uses the following format:
jsdn-packageID-release
where:
packageID identifies the package that must run on each Juniper Networks device.
release identifies the release; for example, 16.2. The
jsdn
package release and thejinstall
release running on the device must be the same.
To install the jsdn
package
on a Juniper Networks device:
- Download the software package to the Juniper Networks device.
- If an older
jsdn
package already exists on the Juniper Networks device, remove the package by issuing the request system software delete operational mode command.user@device> request system software delete existing-ovsdb-package - Install the new
jsdn
package by using the request system software add operational mode command.user@device> request system software add path-to-ovsdb-package
