Junos OS File Directory and MD5 Checksum

I needed to download the Junos OS used in our MX device.

You can use the file list /var/temp CLI command to check the OS image stored (dir or show bootflash: in Cisco)

admin@junos> file list /var/tmp/

 

/var/tmp/:

Jtac-logs.tgz

LOCK_FILE

appidd_cust_app_trace

appidd_trace_debug

bcast.bdisp.log

bcast.disp.log

bcast.rstdisp.log

bcast.undisp.log

current-config.txt

ebmq_authd_vty

ebmq_bbe-pfcp-proxy-vty_vty

ex_autod_config

ex_autod_rollback_cfg

junos-vmhost-install-mx-x86-64-2x.4Rx.8.tgz

krt_rpf_filter.txt

mmcq_authd

mmcq_bbe-cupm

mmcq_bbeStatsdGetCollector

mmcq_cupm-bbe-up-pfcp-proxyd

mmcq_cupm-ep_RepClientUpEpClient

mmcq_cupm-ep_RepServerUpEpClient

mmcq_mmdb_rep_mmcq

mmcq_sdb_bbe_mmcq

netproxy

package.log

pfe_debug_commands

pkg_cleanup.log.err

re0.tgz

rtsdb/

sd-upgrade/


To validate the image MD5 checksum, use the file checksum md5 <path/file> command. 

admin@junos> file checksum md5 /var/tmp/junos-vmhost-install-mx-x86-64-2x.4Rx.8.tgz   
MD5 (/var/tmp/junos-vmhost-install-mx-x86-64-2x.4Rx.8.tgz) = 0d02de0cc7aec60825d2dbe513e0af12

Go to the Juniper Software Downloads site, search for the Product, OS and Version. Click Checksums (a hyperlink) to view the MD5, SHA1, etc.

Click the tgz file (a hyperlink), click "I Agree" to proceed.


You can download the OS image locally in your PC or directly to your Juniper device. To download the OS image from your device, just run the file copy <URL destination> command (copy/paste the URL string).
