Juniper Networks distributes the SSR software in a number of forms for different environments. Of those asset types, the ISO is most commonly used to stage a system that does not have an operating system, or if the system is being repurposed as an SSR system. The goal of this guide is produce a bootable USB drive from an SSR ISO.
For small deployments or a proof of concept, each ISO image can be loaded on to a bootable USB to install the operating system and SSR software.
