Loading JunOS on an EX series switch

From NesevoWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The procedure of loading JunOS on an EX series (or ACX series) switch is exactly the same as Loading JunOS on an MX series router, with one exception:

  • As /mnt is a read-only file-system on EX switches, you have to mount the USB thumb drive under /tmp/usb instead

If you get annoying messages about failing auto-image upgrade, do the following to disable them.

  • Go to configure mode: root> configure
  • Set a root password (otherwise you cannot commit changes): root# set system root-authentication plain-text-password (Use Cisco123 as password)
  • Disable auto-upgrade: root# delete chassis auto-image-upgrade
  • Commit changes and exit: root# commit and-quit
