READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE. BY DOWNLOADING,
INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, YOU (AS CUSTOMER
OR IF YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE/AGENT AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE CUSTOMER) CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, THEN (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE,
AND (B) YOU MAY CONTACT JUNIPER NETWORKS REGARDING LICENSE TERMS.
1. The Parties. The parties to this Agreement are (i) Juniper Networks, Inc. (if the Customer’s principal office is located in the Americas) or Juniper Networks
(Cayman) Limited (if the Customer’s principal office is located outside the Americas) (such applicable entity being referred to herein as “Juniper”), and (ii)
the person or organization that originally purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller the applicable license(s) for use of the Software (“Customer”)
(collectively, the “Parties”).
2. The Software. In this Agreement, “Software” means the program modules and features of the Juniper or Juniper-supplied software, for which Customer
has paid the applicable license or support fees to Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller, or which was embedded by Juniper in equipment which Customer
purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. “Software” also includes updates, upgrades and new releases of such software. “Embedded
Software” means Software which Juniper has embedded in or loaded onto the Juniper equipment and any updates, upgrades, additions or replacements
which are subsequently embedded in or loaded onto the equipment.
3. License Grant. Subject to payment of the applicable fees and the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, Juniper grants to Customer a non-exclusive

JUNOS Software Overview
Juniper Networks provides high-performance network devices that create a responsive
and trusted environment for accelerating the deployment of services and applications
over a single network. JUNOS Software is the foundation of these high-performance
networks. Unlike other complex, monolithic software architectures, JUNOS Software
incorporates key design and developmental differences to deliver increased network
availability, operational efficiency, and flexibility. The key advantages to this approach
are:
■One Operating System on page 3
■One Software Release on page 4
■One Modular Software Architecture on page 4
One Operating System
Unlike other network operating systems that share a common name but splinter into
many different programs, JUNOS Software is a single, cohesive operating system
that is shared across all routers and product lines. This allows Juniper Networks
JUNOS Software Overview■3
JUNOS Release 10.2 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide
engineers to develop software features once and share these features across all
product lines simultaneously. Because features are common to a single source, they
generally are implemented the same way for all product lines, thus reducing the
training required to learn different tools and methods for each product. Because all
Juniper Networks products use the same code base, interoperability between products
is not an issue.
One Software Release
Each new version of JUNOS Software is released concurrently for all product lines
following a preset quarterly schedule. Furthermore, each new version of software
must include all working features released in previous releases of the software, and
must have no critical regression errors. This discipline ensures reliable operations
for the entire release.
One Modular Software Architecture
Although individual modules of the JUNOS Software communicate through
well-defined interfaces, each module runs in its own protected memory space,
preventing one module from disrupting another. This separation enables the
independent restart of each module as necessary. This is in contrast to monolithic
operating systems where a malfunction in one module can ripple to other modules
and cause a full system crash or restart. This modular architecture then provides for
high performance, high availability, security, and device scalability not found in other
operating systems.
The JUNOS Software is preinstalled on your Juniper Networks router when you receive
it from the factory. Thus, when you first power on the router, all software starts
automatically. You simply need to configure the software so that the router can
participate in the network.
You can upgrade the router software as new features are added or software problems
are fixed. You normally obtain new software by downloading the software installation
packages from the Juniper Networks Support Web page onto your router or onto
another system on your local network. You then install the software upgrade onto
the router.
Juniper Networks routing platforms run only binaries supplied by Juniper Networks.
Each JUNOS Software image includes a digitally signed manifest of executables that
are registered with the system only if the signature can be validated. JUNOS Software
will not execute any binary without a registered signature. This feature protects the
system against unauthorized software and activity that might compromise the integrity
of your router.
Related TopicsImpacts of the Operating System on the Performance of Enterprise Networks white paper:
All JUNOS Software conforms to the following naming convention:
4■Software Naming Convention
package-release-edition-cfxxx-signed.comp
For example:
jinstall-9.2R1.8–domestic-signed.tgz
where:
■
package is the name of the JUNOS package.
■
cfxxx designates the CompactFlash card size to use with the software. This value
is optional.
■
signed means that the software includes a digital signature for verification
purposes. This value is not used with all software packages.
JUNOS Software Editions
JUNOS Software is released in the following editions:
Chapter 1: Introduction to JUNOS Software
■Domestic—JUNOS Software for customers in the United States and Canada. This
edition includes high-encryption capabilities for data leaving the router.
■Export—JUNOS Software for all other customers. This edition does not include
any high-encryption capabilities for data leaving the router.
■JUNOS-FIPS—JUNOS Software that provides advanced network security for
customers who need software tools to configure a network of Juniper Networks
routers in a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 environment.
For more information about JUNOS-FIPS, see “FIPS 140-2 Security Compliance”
on page 5.
FIPS 140-2 Security Compliance
For advanced network security, a special version of JUNOS, called JUNOS-FIPS 140-2,
is available. JUNOS-FIPS 140-2 provides customers with software tools to configure
a network of Juniper Networks routers in a FIPS environment. FIPS support includes:
■Upgrade package to convert JUNOS to JUNOS-FIPS 140-2
■Revised installation and configuration procedures
■Enforced security for remote access
■FIPS user roles (Crypto Officer, User, and Maintenance)
■FIPS-specific system logging and error messages
■IPsec configuration for Routing Engine–to–Routing Engine communication
■Enhanced password creation and encryption
JUNOS-FIPS has special installation and configuration requirements. Installation
procedures include downloading the FIPS software package from www.juniper.net.
For detailed guidelines on how installation and configuration procedures differ
between JUNOS and JUNOS-FIPS 140-2, see the Secure Configuration Guide for CommonCriteria and JUNOS-FIPS.
JUNOS Software Editions■5
JUNOS Release 10.2 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide
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:
Installation Media
DescriptionInstallation Package
jinstall*
jinstall-ex*
junos-jsr*
junos-juniper*
JUNOS Software for the M Series, MX Series, T Series, TX Matrix, and
TX Matrix Plus routers.
JUNOS Software for the EX Series Ethernet switch portfolio.
JUNOS Software for the J Series routers.
JUNOS-FIPS for the M Series, MX Series, T Series, TX Matrix, and TX

the standard JUNOS Software installation without performing a software
recovery procedure.
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.
