Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 10.0 for EX Series switches.

The ex4200 and ex4500 options introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for EX Series switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2X50-D15 for the QFX Series.

The ex-4300, qfx-3, and qfx-5 options introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2X51-D20.

Description

Enable the automatic software update feature for Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) configurations.

You should only use the ex-4300, qfx-3, and qfx-5 keywords when configuring automatic software update on a mixed Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF). You should only use the ex4200 and ex4500 keywords when configuring automatic software update on a mixed Virtual Chassis. You can simply specify the package-name without specifying the keywords in non-mixed Virtual Chassis or VCF topologies.

You must enter the auto-sw-update statement multiple times—once for each device family in your mixed Virtual Chassis or VCF—when enabling the automatic software update for a mixed Virtual Chassis or VCF.

The Junos OS package for an EX4500 switch updates the software for EX4500 and EX4550 switches. You do not, therefore, need to specify the ex4500 keyword when configuring automatic software update for a mixed EX4500 and EX4550 Virtual Chassis. You also only have to enter the ex4500 keyword once to configure automatic software update for all EX4500 and EX4550 member switches in the same mixed Virtual Chassis.

The Junos OS package for a QFX3500 device updates the software for QFX3500 and QFX3600 devices. You do not, therefore, need to specify the qfx-3 keyword when configuring automatic software update for a Virtual Chassis composed entirely of QFX3500 and QFX3600 devices. You also have to enter the qfx-3 keyword only once to configure automatic software update for all QFX3500 and QFX3600 member devices in the same mixed Virtual Chassis.

The remaining statement is explained separately.

Default

The automatic software update feature is disabled.

The Junos OS package for an EX4500 switch updates the software for EX4500 and EX4550 switches. Therefore, you only enter this command once to upgrade the EX4500 and EX4550 member switches in the same mixed Virtual Chassis.

The ex-4500 keyword also does not need to be specified when configuring automatic software update for a mixed EX4500 and EX4550 Virtual Chassis.
