Configuring Automatic Software Update on EX Series Virtual Chassis Member Switches (CLI Procedure)

Note: Automatic software update is not supported on an EX8200 Virtual Chassis.

The automatic software update feature allows you to automatically update the software version on prospective member switches as they are added so that they can join the Virtual Chassis.

Note: Automatic software update is not supported for any mixed Virtual Chassis.

Note: The version of Junos OS running on the Virtual Chassis must be compatible with the software running on the prospective member switch for an automatic software update to occur. For information on Junos OS compatibility and other automatic software update restrictions, see Understanding Automatic Software Update on EX2200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500, and EX4550 Virtual Chassis Member Switches.

Before you begin, ensure that you know the name or the URL of the software package to be used by the automatic software update feature.

To configure the automatic software update feature:

[edit]
user@switch# set virtual-chassis auto-sw-update package-name package-name

If the software package is located on a local directory on the switch, use the following format for package-name:

/pathname/package-name

If the software package is to be downloaded and installed from a remote location, use one of the following formats:

ftp://hostname/pathname/package-name

ftp://username:prompt@ftp.hostname.net/package-name

http://hostname/pathname/package-name
