Juniper JUNOS 10.2, Upgrade Manual

Page: 28 / 96

NOTE: JUNOS-FIPS has special password requirements. FIPS passwords must be
between 10 and 20 characters in length. Passwords must use at least three of the
five defined character sets (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, punctuation
marks, and other special characters). If JUNOS-FIPS is installed on the router, you
cannot configure passwords unless they meet this standard.
JUNOS Installation Packages
The installation package is used to upgrade and downgrade from one release to
another. When installed, the installation package completely reinstalls the software,
rebuilds the JUNOS file system, and may erase system logs and other auxiliary
information from the previous installation. The installation package does, however,
retain the configuration files from the previous installation.
The following installation packages are available for download:
Description Installation Package
JUNOS Software for the M Series, MX Series, T Series, TX Matrix, and
TX Matrix Plus routers.
jinstall*
JUNOS Software for the EX Series Ethernet switch portfolio.
jinstall-ex*
JUNOS Software for the J Series routers.
junos-jsr*
JUNOS-FIPS for the M Series, MX Series, T Series, TX Matrix, and TX
Matrix Plus routers.
Once the package is installed on a device, you cannot revert back to
the standard JUNOS Software installation without performing a software
recovery procedure.

Installation Media
The installation media is used to recover a router from a software failure. The
installation media repartitions the media and completely reinstalls the JUNOS
Software. No information from previous installations is retained during this
installation. Thus, an initial configuration is required before the router can be put
back into service. For more information on creating an initial configuration, see the
Getting Started Guide for your router.
NOTE: Once you have rebuilt a router using the installation media, access to the
router is restricted to the console port until the management port is configured during
the initial configuration.
