Configuring Boot Devices

You can configure a boot device to replace the primary boot device on your Services Router, or to act as a backup boot device. Use either the J-Web interface or the CLI to take a snapshot of the configuration currently running on the router, or of the original factory configuration and a rescue configuration, and save it to an alternate medium.

For media redundancy, we recommend that you keep a secondary storage medium attached to the Services Router and updated at all times.

If the primary storage medium becomes corrupted and no backup medium is in place, you can recover the primary compact flash from a special JUNOS software image. You can also configure a boot device to store snapshots of software failures, for use in troubleshooting.

For information about installing boot devices, see the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.
