Upgrading System CPLD, BIOS, CPU CPLD, PoE Firmware, and eMMC Firmware for EX4400 Devices
The following sections describe the steps to upgrade BIOS, CPU CPLD, System CPLD, and Virtual Chassis (VC) firmware in EX4400.
Checking Latest Firmware Versions
To check the latest firmware versions available, execute the show system
firmware command. If a new firmware version is available, upgrade using
the latest firmware package.
Note:
You can download the firmware package from https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/?p=ex4400.
Upgrading BIOS
Perform the following steps to upgrade the BIOS:
- Add jfirmware.
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jfirmware-ex.tgz
- Upgrade BIOS.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware bios
- Check the progress of the BIOS upgrade.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware bios progress
- Reboot the device for the upgrade to take effect.
root>request system reboot
- Use the following command to confirm the BIOS version.
Before upgrade:
user@host> show chassis firmware Part Type Version FPC 0 loader FreeBSD EFI loader 2.0 BIOS CDEN_P_EX1_00.15.01.00 System CPLD 0.f CPU CPLD 1.0After upgrade:

user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld sys
Initiates the firmware upgrade.
- Check the progress of the CPLD upgrade.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld sys progress
- Confirm if the CPLD upgrade is complete. You get the following message if
the upgrade is completed successfully.
Firmware upgrade complete
- (Recommended) Perform a system halt using the following command.
user@host> request system halt
- Power cycle the device for the upgrade to take effect.
- Use the following command to confirm the CPLD version. Note:
The System CPLD version should be 1.0 for EX4400 to support EX4400-EM-1C. The System CPLD version should be 0.6 for EX4400-24X.

Upgrading Firmware in Virtual Chassis
Perform the following steps to upgrade the VC firmware:
- Add the jfirmware package in primary Routing Engine (RE).
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jfirmware-ex.tgz
- Upgrade the BIOS and check the status in primary RE.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware bios
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware bios progress
- Upgrade the System CPLD and check the status in primary RE.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld sys
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld sys progress
- Upgrade the CPU CPLD and check the status in primary RE.
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld cpu
user@host> request system firmware upgrade jfirmware cpld cpu progress
- Repeat the steps 2, 3, and 4 in each member of the VC by logging in to the
member. Use the
request session member <fpc-slot>command to log in. - Power cycle or reboot all the members of the VC. Reboot the members one by one after the upgrade is successful after Step 4 depending on either CPLD or BIOS upgrade.
