Juniper Networks E-Series - Manual (Page 227)

Copying Release Files from One E-Series Router to Another
E-Series Routers
B-15
For example:
:boot##copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel
The software release will be copied from the network host to the
E-series router. This process can take several minutes.
Task 8: Reboot the System
To reboot the system using the newly installed software:
1
Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the
software release. For example:
:boot##boot system x-y-z.rel
The following message appears when you execute this command:
WARNING: It is recommended that you copy the current
running-configuration to a file prior to reloading a
different release of software.
2 Run the reload command.
:boot##reload
The following message appears when you execute this command:
WARNING: Execution of this command will cause the system to
reboot. Proceed with reload? [confirm]
The system reboots. The reboot may take longer than normal
because line modules initialize with the old version of the software,
acquire the new version from the SRP module, and reinitialize.
When you observe the LEDs on the line modules, the line modules
appear to boot twice.
Copying Release Files from One E-Series Router to Another
When you have copied the release files from a network host to one
E-series router, you can transfer files from that E-series router to other
E-series routers on the network. This feature is useful when:
• The other E-series routers are unreachable from the network host but
have network connectivity to the E-series router on which you installed
the new software.
• The connection between E-series routers is faster than the connection
between an E-series router and the network host to which it is
connected.
