Syntax

Description

Use this command to upgrade firmware and optics module on a system running either Junos OS or Junos OS Evolved.

Options

cb

(ACX7100 Series routers, MX10004, and MX10008 routers) Upgrade baseboard FPGA.

  • fancpld—(Optional) Upgrade fanboard CPLD.

  • optics—(Optional) Upgrade optics CPLD.
fpc

Upgrade FPC ROM monitor.

  • bcm-pfe—(Optional) Upgrade BCM PFE chip.

  • slot slot-number—(Optional) Upgrade all devices in a particular FPC slot.

    After you upgrade the firmware on the LC9600 line card, the line card may go offline. If this happens, use the request chassis fpc slot-number restart command to restart the line card.
fpm

(MX10004 and MX100008 routers) Upgrade front panel module firmware.
ftc slot (0 | 1)

(MX10004 and MX10008 routers) Upgrade fan tray controller firmware.
pic

(Junos OS only) Upgrade PIC firmware.
pem slot slot-number mcu (primary | secondary)

(Junos OS only—PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX10008, QFX10016, MX10004, MX10008, MX10016, and MX304 devices) Upgrade PEM firmware. The mcu option upgrades the firmware on one micro controller unit at a time, applies only to the MX304 router, and is required for the MX304 PEM firmware upgrade.
poe fpc-slot slot-number Upgrade Power over Ethernet (PoE) firmware.
psm

Upgrade power supply module firmware.

  • slot slot-number—(Optional) Upgrade a particular power supply module.
re

Upgrade baseboard BIOS/FPGA. There is an active BIOS image and a backup BIOS image.

  • bios—(Optional) Upgrade BIOS.

  • fpga—(Optional) Upgrade baseboard FPGA.

  • i210—(Optional) Upgrade baseboard i210 GbE NIC.

  • i40nvm—(Optional) Upgrade baseboard i40.

    Starting in Junos OS Release 19.3R1, you can upgrade the i40e NVM firmware on routers with VM Host support.

  • ssd—(Optional) Upgrade Routing Engine solid-state drive (SSD) firmware.

    • disk1—Upgrade SSD disk1 firmware.

    • disk2—Upgrade SSD disk2 firmware.

    Starting in Junos OS Release 17.2R1, you can upgrade the SSD firmware on routers with the VM Host support.

  • xmcfpga—(Optional) Upgrade XMC FPGA.
sfb slot slot-number tag tag-number

(MX10004 and MX10008 routers) Upgrade the SF2 and SFB2 switch fabric firmware. slot-number can be 0 to 5. For tag tag-number option, specify the tag number that indicates you want to update the FPGA. To find out what number you should use for the tag option, issue the show system firmware command. For example, on the MX10004 router, the show system firmware command shows the tag numbers in the third column as follows:

After you upgrade the firmware on the SFB, you must take the SFB offline by using the request chassis sfb slot slot-number offline command. Once the SFB is offline, bring the SFB back online and make the new firmware take effect by using the request chassis sfb slot slot-number online-reload command.
vcpu Upgrade VCPU ROM monitor.
optics

Upgrade optics firmware.

  • fpc-slot fpc-slot-number—Upgrade optics firmware for a specific FPC slot.

  • pic-slot pic-slot-number—Upgrade optics firmware for a specific PIC slot.

  • port port-number—Upgrade optics firmware for a specific port.
