Description

This article provides information on how to run J-Web on M, MX, and T-series routers.

Symptoms

The J-Web interface is supported on Junos OS 7.3 or later for the M or T-series routers.

Note : J-Web is not supported on PPC platform devices (MX80, MX40, MX10, MX5, MX104 and MX204 platforms); however, it is supported on other MX routers. 


Brief summary :

The routing platform comes with the Junos OS installed on it. When the routing platform is powered on, all software automatically start. On J-series routers, by default, the J-Web software is part of the available Junos OS. However, on M and T-series routers, you have to install the J-Web software, as it is not shipped with the routing platform.

If the routing platform is not shipped with the J-Web software, you must download the J-Web software package from the Juniper Networks web page and install it on the routing platform. After the installation, Web management of the routing platform must be enabled via the CLI.

Solution

 

To install and enable the J-Web software, perform the following procedure:
 

  1. Navigate to the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center via a web browser:

    www.juniper.net/customers/csc/software/
 
  • Log on to the Juniper Networks authentication system with the username (generally your e-mail address) and password that are provided by Juniper Networks representatives.
 
  • Download the J-Web software to the local host. Select the version that is the same as the Junos OS version, which is running on the routing platform.
 
  • Copy the software package to the routing platform. It is recommended to copy it to the /var/tmp directory.
 
  • If the J-Web software has been previously installed on the routing platform, delete it before installing the new version. To do so, via the operational mode in the CLI, type the following command:
    user@host> request system software delete jweb
  • Install the new package on the routing platform. Via the operational mode in the CLI, type the following command:
    user@host> request system software add path/filename
    Replace the path with the full pathname to the J-Web software package and the filename with the filename of the J-Web software package.
 
  • Enable Web management of the routing platform. Via the configuration mode in the CLI, type the following command:
    user@host# system services web-management http
