Copy your config file to a FAT32 formatted USB thumb drive (the drive must contain exactly one partition that stretches over the whole device)
Boot up the Juniper device and connect to its serial console
You should see a root@> prompt
Type start shell to get the root@% prompt
Create a mount directory: mkdir /mnt/usb
Plug in the USB drive and mount it: mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt/usb
Type exit to exit the shell
From the root@> prompt enter configure to get into config mode (you'll see a root@# prompt)
Variant A:
- Use the following command to load the configuration: load override /mnt/usb/<config file name>
Variant B:
- Type load override terminal to paste in configuration commands (the Cisco way)
- Type [ENTER] and the [Ctrl-D] to exit load mode
Type commit to activate the loaded configuration and exit config mode with the exit command
Unmount the USB drive (umount /mnt/usb in shell mode) before unplugging it
