Configuring Software Download Settings

You can remotely download JUNOSe software releases from a centralized location to one or more E-series routers. For example, you can select a specific software release and then download the file to multiple E-series routers at the same time.

The Software Download tab lets you enable the download software feature and configure the Software Repository FTP Settings, which you use to download the software. If you do not enable the FTP server, you cannot download the software to E-series routers using the NMC-RX application.

For more information on downloading software, see Downloading Software Releases to Devices in Chapter 6, Configuring the System.

NOTE: Only users with a device maintenance privilege can configure software download settings. For more information, see Chapter 9, Configuring Security Settings.

  1. From the Configuration menu in either the Network Workshop or the Device Workshop, choose NMC-RX Application Settings, and then click the Software Download tab.
