Juniper Ex2200 Firmware Update How To

  • The EX2200 supports an optional redundant power supply (RPS) unit which provides power resiliency. Junos Operating System The EX2200 runs the same Junos OS used by other Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches, as well as all of Juniper’s routers and Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways.

  • The EX2200 includes an enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty that provides next business day advance hardware switch replacement for as long as the original purchaser owns the product. The warranty includes lifetime software updates, advanced shipping of spares within one business day, and 24x7 JTAC support for 90 days after the purchase.

Setting up a (brand new) Juniper EX2200c (the 12 port fanless version of the EX2200) to use LACP with a Mac Pro. This will cover firmware updates, initial configuration (including some IPv6), and of course, LACP itself. Setting up a new EX2200-C with LACP ¶ After unpacking the switch, the first thing I do is take a picture. Updating the firmware¶.

ON THIS PAGE

Unlike the EX Series switches it supports, the RPS doesnot run the Junos OS. RPS is run by low-level instructions installedon a flash drive on the RPS. Periodically, Juniper Networks upgradesthe RPS firmware and makes those upgrades available on the supportsite. Upgrade the RPS firmware by using an attached switch’sCLI to copy the new image from your TFTP site to the RPS managementport, then issue the upgrade command.

Determine the Current EX Series RPS Firmware Version

To see what version of firmware is currently running on an RPS,issue this Junos OS CLI command on any connected switch: show redundant-power-systemversion command from a standalone switch, the output looks somethinglike this:

If you issue the show redundant-power-system version command from a Virtual Chassis, the output looks something likethis:

Connect the Supplied Cable from the EX Series RPS to the Network

You will upgrade the RPS from an attached switch. The RPS isalways connected to one or more switches with RPS cables during normaloperation. During the firmware upgrade, you must also connect thesupplied RJ-45 cable to the management port on the RPS and connectthe other end of the RJ-45 cable to the network where the firmwareupgrade file is available via TFTP. The RPS will then have two connectionsas shown in Figure 1.

Use an Attached Switch’s CLI to Upgrade EX Series RPSFirmware

Upgrading RPS firmware is done from an attached switch but itis not done from the CLI configuration mode. All of the steps in thisprocess use the CLI operational mode on the switch.

Note

Be sure the RJ-45 cable is connected to the network thatincludes the TFTP location, as shown in Figure 1.

To upgrade RPS firmware:

  1. Copy the new firmware image from the Juniper Networkssupport site to a TFTP server on the attached network. Note the TFTPserver address.
  2. Determine these three RPS network addresses with the command set redundant-power-system networkmember 1 ip-address netmask-address gateway show redundant-power-system network

  3. Update the RPS firmware, using the command appropriatefor your switch.

    To update the RPS firmware from an EX3300 switch CLI:

    user@switch>server-ip-address image request redundant-power-system firmwareupgrade server filename-with-path

    The filename should include the path to any subdirectories,for example, show redundant-power-system upgradestatus

    In addition to listing the old and new firmware versions, thiscommand shows upgrade details such as pass, fail, and file not found.

This example upgrades RPS from version 1 to version 1.1.

Sometime Juniper devices may not boot JunOS properly. The image might be corrupted. So you need to re-install the JunOS of the EX or SRX device from the loader prompt. It is always good idea to have a USB snapshot of the JunOS device. But if you don’t have backup then you have to re install JunOS from loader prompt using USB media.

Install JunOS From Loader

Step 1. Download the required JunOS and copy to USB flash drive. If the USB size is less than 2 GB then the file format must be FAT. Similarly, if the USB is greater than or equal to 4 GB, use FAT32 file system format.

Step 2. Now insert the flash into USB port of the Juniper device.

Step 3. Then, reboot the device. When JunOS boots up,press SPACE BAR on your keyboard to get into loader prompt. At the boot process hit SPACE BAR key when the following message is displayed,

Press Space to abort autobootDo nothing. A little while later, you will see:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or space bar for command
Updateprompt.
UpdateHowPress the space bar. You will be at loader mode; the prompt should
be loader>. If the prompt is > , type >boot to make it loader>.

Step 4. After hitting the SPACE BAR, you will notice the loader prompt. Now type the following command:

loader> install file:///jinstall-ex-2200-11.4R11.4-domestic-signed.tgz

Wait for a while, the installation file will be copied to the device and and start the installation process. The device will reboot after the installation is complete.
