Prerequisites for Autoinstallation on ACX Series Routers in Hybrid Mode
Before you perform autoinstallation on a router in hybrid mode, complete the following
tasks:
Using a text editor on a PC or laptop, create the configuration file, named juniper-config.txt,
as a sequence of configuration commands (“set” commands). To reuse configuration
from another ACX Series router, the configuration can be saved in configuration mode
as a sequence of configuration commands on the router using the “show | display set |
save <filename>” command and then copying the <filename> to the PC or router as
juniper-config.txt.
You must copy the juniper-config.txt file to an external USB storage device. Plug the USB
device into the USB port on the new ACX Series router. When you power on the router,
the router first attempts to access the external USB storage device. The router reads the
juniper-config.txt file from the external USB storage device and commits the configuration.
NOTE: For autoinstallation process to switch to the network mode, the
continue-network-mode statement must be present in the autoinstallation
stanza at the [edit system autoinstallation] hierarchy level of the
juniper-config.txt configuration file. The presence of the
continue-network-mode statement in the juniper-config.txt file causes the
router to consider it as a partial configuration. Otherwise, if the
continue-network-mode statement is not present in the juniper-config.txt file,
the router considers the configuration on the external USB storage device as
the complete configuration and it will not switch to the network mode.
Perform all of the steps described in the “Before You Begin Autoinstallation on an ACX
Series Universal Access Router” on page 77 section, which prepares the router for
network-based autoinstallation.
