Installing and Upgrading Firmware
To get the optimal network performance, and to fix a vulnerability, you can upgrade the firmware on your device.
Before You Begin Installing or Upgrading the Firmware
Before you begin installing or upgrading the firmware on the MIC or PIC, complete the following steps:
- Verify that a previous version of the firmware package
is installed on the router by using the

Installing Firmware on the 5-Port 100-Gigabit DWDM OTN PIC (PTX-5-100G-WDM)
Before you install the firmware package, ensure that a previous version is not installed on the router. For more information, see Before You Begin Installing or Upgrading the Firmware.
To install the firmware package, complete the following steps:
- Upgrade Junos OS on the router to the version that supports the firmware package. See Installing the Software Package on a Device with Redundant Routing Engines (Junos OS) or Installing the Software Package on a Router with a Single Routing Engine (Junos OS) for more information.
- Download the firmware package from https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/. For information about downloading software packages, see Downloading Software (Junos OS). Note:
Download the firmware package specific to your router. The firmware package for PTX Series routers is different from the firmware package for the MX Series routers.
- Save the firmware package to the
/var/path/package-namedirectory on the router. For example, you can save the firmware package to the/var/tmpdirectory. - Install the firmware package by using the
request system software add path/package-namecommand. For example, to install thejfirmware-15.1F6.9.tgzpackage:user@host> request system software add jfirmware-15.1F6.9.tgz
- Run the
show versioncommand to verify that the firmware package is installed.user@host> show version
After the firmware package is installed successfully, the output of the
show versioncommand displaysJunos jfirmware..among the list of packages that are installed on the router.
Upgrading Firmware on the 5-Port 100-Gigabit DWDM OTN PIC (PTX-5-100G-WDM)
Before you upgrade the firmware package, ensure that a previous version is not installed on the router. For more information, see Before You Begin Installing or Upgrading the Firmware.
To upgrade the version of your firmware, complete the following steps:
- Run the
show system firmwarecommand to view the list of components installed on the router and the firmware version for each component.user@host> show system firmware Part Type Tag Current Available Status version version FPC 0 ROM Monitor 0 0 10.4.1 OK FPC 1 ROM Monitor 0 0 10.4.1 OK FPC 2 ROM Monitor 0 0 10.4.1 OK PIC 0 CMIC LTC 2/0 1 .0 1.0 OK FPC 3 ROM Monitor 0 0 10.4.1 OK FPC 4 ROM Monitor 0 0 13.3.1 OK FPC 4 MPCS(0) 2 0.24.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS 0 1.18 OK Routing Engine 1 0 1.18 OK
The output of the
show system firmwarecommand displays the current firmware version of the PIC as.0and the available firmware version as1.0. - To upgrade the firmware of the PIC, use the
request system firmware upgrade piccommand. For example, to upgrade the firmware version of the PIC from.0to1.0, specify the FPC slot and PIC slot in the command.user@host> request system firmware upgrade pic pic-slot 0 fpc-slot 2 Part Type Tag Current Available Status version version FPC 2 PIC 0 CMIC LTC 2/0 1 .0 1.0 OK Perform indicated firmware upgrade ?
