Replacing USB Storage Devices

USB storage devices are optional components on J-series Services Routers. If installed, a USB storage device provides secondary storage for the router. It can accommodate software images, configuration files, and microcode. If the internal compact flash fails on startup, and the external compact flash is not installed or fails, the router boots from the USB storage device.

For information about configuring the USB storage device, see the J-series Services Router Administration Guide.

Note: For a list of supported USB storage devices, see the J-series Services Router Release Notes at https://www.juniper.net.
