Upgrading the Junos OS When Applications Are Installed

As of Junos OS Release 12.2, when you upgrade a Junos OS release, you can do so without first having to remove the configuration contributed by an application or applications.

As of Junos OS Release 12.3, Junos applications will install on Junos only if the application is built with the same release as the Junos OS Release on which the application is being installed. For example, an application built with Release 12.3R2 will only install on Junos OS Release 12.3R2 and will not install on Junos OS Release 12.3R1 or Junos OS Release 12.3R3 or Junos OS Release 13.1R1.

To upgrade Junos OS with application configuration:

  • Add the Junos OS and application packages at one time using the request system software add set command.
    user@router> request system software add set [junos-release-packages application-packages]

    The Junos application configuration is validated against the Junos application package mentioned in the set command.

    Note: You cannot add more than one jinstall package at a time, even with the set command.
