Juniper PoE software upgrade

- Posted in Juniper by

To upgrade the PoE controller software in the device, run the following command with your fpc-slot id:

request system firmware upgrade poe fpc-slot 0

To get the status of the upgrade, issue the following command for details:

root> show poe controller
Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management   Status        Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                                Priority
   0**      124W      0.00W           0W                  DOWNLOAD_INIT Disabled

root> show poe controller
Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management   Status        Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                                Priority
   0**      124W      0.00W           0W                  SW_DOWNLOAD(43%) Disabled

The download requires no network connectivity, as the sofware is stored on the device.

On my EX2300-C, the download progress went to a halt at 95%, I figured it was simply installing:

Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management   Status        Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                                Priority
   0**      124W      0.00W           0W                  SW_DOWNLOAD(95%) Disabled

a few minutes later, the install process had ended:

Controller  Maximum   Power         Guard    Management   Status        Lldp
index       power     consumption   band                                Priority
   0        124W      0.00W           0W                  AT_MODE       Disabled

As per intructions; Please Reboot the system after Upgrade is complete
