Use the FTP CLI within FreeBSD to get the jinstall into your home directory. If you don’t and you need a good FTP server I can recommend FileZilla just make sure that if you’re running Windows 7/10 and you enable the server exe in your firewall.
I’m assuming that you’ve followed the previous post and are sitting at the root prompt of your FreeBSD VM.įirst thing you need to do is get the jinstall tarball onto your VM, I have a FTP server running on my PC for this purpose but you may have one on the internet or a home server etc. I’m a network engineer and have a very basic knowledge of BSD, feel free to mock my tar/gzip/shell skills or better yet tell me an easier way.If you don’t have access to it then you shouldn’t and you should go out for a nice pint or two instead. I can’t supply JunOS to you, nor can I recommend anyone who can.Enough of this and they will stop olives working altogether so play nice. This isn’t supported, Juniper will die a little inside if you ring the JTAC up and demand to know why your Olive doesn’t work.
In the good old days (JunOS 7.4) this was quite an easy task but since 8.4 things have got a bit more complicated, Juniper upgraded the version of FreeBSD and added a utility that verified the PICs meaning that the install would fail even if you tried to force it. Now we need to upload the JunOS software and install it.
In my previous post I told you how to prepare VirtualBox and FreeBSD to accept a Juniper Olive.
