Running Junos Directly from a USB Stick

juniperjuniper-exjuniper-junosswitch

I got a Juniper EX2200 switch which is unable to boot, prior to a corrupted flash. The JTAC support is expired and i tried almost everything to get it working again.
I read an article about "Running JunOS directly from an USB stick", but there was no explanation/instructions on how to do this.

Is it possible to do this and how?

Best Answer

Yes, you can boot JUNOS from a USB drive, and an EX2200 will work.

Booting an EX Series Switch Using a Software Package Stored on a USB Flash Drive

Follow the documentation and it should work fine. Chances are your flash isn't permanently corrupt so you can reinstall JUNOS and get everything back in working order.
