Installing Software on a Device with Single Routing Engine

date_range 01-Nov-21
arrow_backward
arrow_forward

You can use this procedure to upgrade Junos OS on device with a single Routing Engine.

To install software upgrades on a device with a single Routing Engine:

  1. Download the software package as described in Downloading Software Packages from Juniper Networks.
  2. If you have not already done so, connect to the console port on the device from your management device, and log in to the Junos OS CLI.
  3. (Optional) Back up the current software configuration to a second storage option. See the Software Installation and Upgrade Guide for instructions on performing this task.
  4. (Optional) Copy the software package to the device. We recommend that you use FTP to copy the file to the /var/tmp/ directory.

    This step is optional because Junos OS can also be upgraded when the software image is stored at a remote location. These instructions describe the software upgrade process for both scenarios.

  5. Install the new package on the device:

    For REMX2K-X8:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host> request vmhost software add <package>

    For RE1800:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host> request system software add <package>

    Replace package with one of the following paths:

    • For a software package in a local directory on the device, use /var/tmp/package.tgz.

    • For a software package on a remote server, use one of the following paths, replacing variable option package with the software package name.

      • ftp://hostname/pathname/package.tgz

      • http://hostname/pathname/package.tgz

  6. Reboot the device to load the installation:

    For REMX2K-X8:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host> request vmhost reboot

    For RE1800:

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host> request system reboot
  7. After the reboot has completed, log in and use the show version command to verify that the new version of the software is successfully installed.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host> show version
