Installing Junos Continuity Software Package to Support New Hardware

Before you begin installing Junos Continuity software:

1. Download the Junos Continuity software package from https://www.juniper.net/support/. For information about downloading software packages, see Downloading Software.

2. Install the new line cards by following the procedure given in the router’s hardware guide.

3. (Optional) Run the run show chassis fpc command to verify the status of the new line cards.

   For example, the following sample output displays information about all the line cards installed on the router:

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   [edit]
   user@router# run show chassis fpc 
                        Temp  CPU Utilization (%)   CPU Utilization (%)  Memory    Utilization (%)
   Slot State            (C)  Total  Interrupt      1min   5min   15min  DRAM (MB) Heap     Buffer
     0  Empty           
     1  Empty           
     2  Empty           
   
   ...
    16  Empty           
    17  Empty           
    18  Empty           
    19  Offline         ---FPC incompatible with SCB---
   
   

   The newly installed line cards are displayed as FPC incompatible with SCB because the router cannot recognize them.

Installing the Junos Continuity Software Package

This section provides the steps to install the Junos Continuity software package.

To install the Junos Continuity software package:

1. Run the request system software add path/package-name command to start installation of the Junos Continuity software package on the primary Routing Engine. For example, to install the jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9 package:

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {master}
   user@router> request system software add jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9.tgz 
   Verified jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9 signed by PackageProductionEc_2015

   Note:

   Juniper Networks recommends that you do not use the validate option when you install the Junos Continuity software package. If you use the validate option, you need to restart the router to activate the Junos Continuity software package.

2. Run the show version command to verify the installation.

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {master}
   user@router> show version 
   Hostname: 
   Model: mx2020
   Junos: 15.1F4.15

   After Junos Continuity software package is installed successfully, the output of the show version command displays JUNOS 64-bit JAM Plugin Software Suite among the list of packages that are installed on the router.

3. (Optional) Run the request system software add path/package-name command to install Junos Continuity software package on the backup Routing Engine. For example, to install the jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9 package:

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {backup}
   user@router> request system software add jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9.tgz 
   Verified jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9 signed by PackageProductionEc_2015

   WARNING: GRES is enabled on this RE. In order to ensure that the JAM supported hardware remains operational across GRES swicthover, please install JAM package on the other RE also
   jam-mpc7-8-9-x86-64-15.1F4.15-C1.9 has been installed successfully
   
   {backup}
   
   user@router>
   

4. (Optional) Run the show chassis fpc pic-status command to display the status of the new line card.

   For example, the following sample output shows the status of the new line card installed in slot 19.

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {master}
   user@router> show chassis fpc pic-status 
   Slot 19  Present      MPC7E 3D MRATE-12xQSFPP-XGE-XLGE-CGE
   
   {master}
   
   user@router> 
   

   Note:

   The status Present indicates that the router can recognize the new line cards. To make the new line cards operational, you must bring them online.

5. Run the request chassis fpc slot slot-number online command to bring the newly installed line card online.

   For example, the following sample output shows that the line card is being brought online.

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {master}
   
   user@router> request chassis fpc online slot 19     
   Online initiated, use "show chassis fpc" to verify
   
   {master}
   
   user@router>
   
   

6. (Optional) Run the show chassis fpc pic-status command to display the status of the newly installed line card.

   For example, the following sample output shows the status of the line card in slot 19 and the installed PICs.

   content_copy zoom_out_map

   {master}
   user@router> show chassis fpc pic-status 
   Slot 19  Online       MPC7E 3D MRATE-12xQSFPP-XGE-XLGE-CGE
     PIC 0  Online       MRATE-6xQSFPP-XGE-XLGE-CGE
     PIC 1  Online       MRATE-6xQSFPP-XGE-XLGE-CGE
   
   
   {master}
   
   user@router> 
   
   

   The newly installed line card and PICs are online and operational.

7. Run the show system software detail command the verify whether the Junos Continuity software package is installed and the hardware components that the package supports.

   For example, the following sample output shows that Junos Continuity package installed on the router and supports MPC7E.

   content_copy zoom_out_map
