request system software recovery-package
Syntax
Release Information
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for EX Series switches.
Description
Add, remove, or extract a software recovery package for the EX8200 switch or the XRE200 External Routing Engine in an EX8200 Virtual Chassis.
Use this command to load a software recovery package onto the USB flash drive of the external Routing Engine and then extract it to the recovery partition of the external Routing Engine—so that it is available for use during a software recovery installation. During a software recovery installation procedure, you are prompted to select which software recovery package to use for the recovery.
 | Note: This command is available only on the external Routing Engine. |
If you do not have the desired software recovery package already installed in the recovery partition of the external Routing Engine, download the software package from the Internet. See Downloading Software Packages from Juniper Networks.
Options
An EX8200 Virtual Chassis supports up to two external Routing Engines for the purpose of external Routing Engine redundancy. If you have configured two external Routing Engines, one functions as the master external Routing Engine and the other functions as the backup. If you have not configured two external Routing Engines, the backup and master options are not relevant.
