Junos Installation Steps - using USB to copy software package to EX switch

1. Format the USB Drive to FAT-32.

2. Copy Junos software package you downloaded from the Juniper support
site in Stage 1 to the USB. (It is recommended to use dedicated USB drive and
copy only the Junos software package to it.)

3. On the EX switch, login into shell mode:


{master:0}
root@EX-4200> start shell
root@EX-4200:RE:0%

4. Mount the USB:


root@EX-4200:RE:0% mount_msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt

5. Copy the Junos software package from the USB to the /var/tmp directory of
the EX switch:
root@EX-4200:RE:0% cd /mnt
root@EX-4200:RE:0% ls
root@EX-4200:RE:0% jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1-domesticsigned.tgz
root@EX-4200:RE:0% cp jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1-domesticsigned.tgz /var/tmp

Check if the Junos software package is copied to /var/tmp directory of the EX


switch:
root@EX-4200:RE:0% cd /var/tmp
root@EX-4200:RE:0% ls
root@EX-4200:RE:0% jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1-domestic-signed.tgz

Note: If you need to verify MD5 checksum of the Junos software package on
the EX switch, refer to KB19931.
6. Install Junos on the EX switch via the CLI (Command Line Interface)
prompt:
For Standalone devices:
root@EX-4200:RE:0% cli
root@EX-4200> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ex10.0S10.1-domestic-signed.tgz no-copy no-validate

For 8200 Series:

% cli
> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1domestic-signed.tgz re0

> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1domestic-signed.tgz re1

For Virtual Chassis:

& cli
> request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ex-10.0S10.1domestic-signed.tgz member 1

7. Reboot the EX switch:


For Standalone devices:
root@EX-4200> request system reboot

For Virtual Chassis:

root@EX-4200> request system reboot all member

For 8200 series when rebooting/upgrading Backup:


run request system reboot other-routing-engine Reboot the system? [yes, no] (no) YES

8. After the reboot has completed, log in and verify that the new version of the
software is properly installed:
user@switch> show version

If you encounter a problem during the installation, go to Stage 4 for


troubleshooting upgrade failures.
