Junos Connuity Soware Overview

Junos Connuity is a soware package that enables you to deploy new hardware in the network

without the need to upgrade Juniper Networks Junos operang system (Junos OS). Junos Connuity

soware works like a pluggable soware module that enables you to deploy new hardware by providing

the drivers and support les required to bring the hardware online. Each version of the Junos Connuity

soware package supports a specic type of hardware, such as Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs),

power supply modules, and so on. You can download and install the Junos Connuity soware package

that supports the hardware component that you want to deploy.

You can install Junos Connuity soware to add support for new hardware on elected releases of

Junos OS. An elected release is a maintenance release of Junos OS, which supports Junos Connuity

soware. You need to download the Junos Connuity soware package that is specic to the elected

release.

Junos Connuity soware standalone package is supported only on the MX240, MX480, MX960, and

MX2000 Universal Roung Plaorms.

You install the Junos Connuity soware package to enable a router to support new hardware without

the need to upgrade Junos OS. You can install the Junos Connuity soware package as a standalone

package or as a package bundled with Junos OS.

• Install the Standalone Junos Connuity Plug-in—You install the Standalone Junos Connuity Plug-in if

the version of Junos OS that is installed on the router supports Junos Connuity soware.

• Install the Junos Connuity Plug-in Integrated with Junos OS—You use the integrated package if the

version of Junos OS that is installed on the router does not support the Standalone Junos Connuity

Plug-in. For example, if you want to install Junos Connuity soware on Junos OS Release 13.3, you

2

can use the integrated package that contains both Junos OS Release 15.1F4 and the Junos

Connuity Plug-in. This is a one-step process to upgrade Junos OS to Junos OS Release 15.1F4 and

also to install Junos Connuity soware.

Using Junos Connuity Soware to Upgrade Line

Cards

IN THIS CHAPTER

Line Card Upgrade Using Junos Connuity Soware Overview

You can deploy new line cards on a router by installing Junos Connuity soware, a soware package

that enables a router to support new hardware. With Junos Connuity, you can deploy new line cards

without the need to upgrade Junos OS. You can just install the Junos Connuity Plug-in and bring the

line cards online. Without Junos Connuity, you must upgrade Junos OS to support a new line card. You

can bring the new line card online by using the request chassis fpc

slot-number

online command.

Because Junos OS upgrade is not required, this method of upgrading line hardware helps faster

deployment of the new line cards and eliminates the me required for soware release requalicaon.

To support new hardware, you only need to install the Junos Connuity soware package that is specic

to the new hardware that you want to install.

NOTE: If graceful Roung Engine switchover (GRES) is enabled, you must install the Junos

Connuity soware package on both the primary and the backup Roung Engines to ensure that

the line cards remain operaonal aer a Roung Engine switchover.
