Juniper Networks Platform Support for SONiC Readme
This readme provides information on how to install and upgrade ONIE and SONiC images on the Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch.
Note: The QFX5210-64C-S switch ships with ONIE and SONiC images preinstalled.
Purpose
This package contains kernel drivers, a python library, and a python script to provide platform support for Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch.
Supported platforms
The following Juniper Networks platform is supported for the SONiC operating system:
- QFX5210-64C-S
Installing ONIE on QFX5210-64C-S Switch
The following information describes how to install ONIE on the Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch.
To install ONIE on Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch, you need to:
- Cross compile ONIE
To compile ONIE, you need to change the directories to "build-config" and then type "make MACHINEROOT=../machine/juniper MACHINE=juniper_qfx5210 all".
For example:
$ cd build-config
$ make -j4 MACHINEROOT=../machine/juniper MACHINE=juniper_qfx5210 all
ONIE binaries are located at the directory /build/images. The following command shows how to navigate the directory to view the ONIE binaries:
stack@controller:~/ONIE_J/onie/build/images$ ls -rlt
total 40740
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stack stack 3710240 Aug 3 12:32 juniper_x86-r0.vmlinuz -- ONIE kernel image
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stack stack 6038416 Aug 3 12:32 juniper_x86-r0.initrd -- ONIE initramfs (filesystem)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stack stack 9811831 Aug 3 12:32 onie-updater-x86_64-juniper_x86-r0 -- ONIE self-update image for installing ONIE.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stack stack 22151168 Aug 3 12:33 onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_x86-r0.iso -- Recovery ISO image to create a bootable USB memory device for installing/recovery ONIE.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 stack stack 31465984 Aug 3 12:33 onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.efi64.pxe -- Recovery PXE image used for installing ONIE using PXE Network install.
Note: Use the following command to build a demo target:
$ make -j4 MACHINEROOT=../machine/juniper MACHINE=juniper_qfx5210 all demo
In addition to the above list of binary files, the following two binary files are also created:
-rw-rw---- 1 build build 12576008 Aug 19 16:30 demo-installer-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.bin
-rw-rw---- 1 build build 12576008 Aug 19 16:30 demo-diag-installer-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.bin
You can install these binary files by using the 'onie-nos-install' command to test the install / boot workflow.
Use the following command for make clean:
$ make machine-clean MACHINEROOT=../machine/juniper MACHINE=juniper_qfx5210
Installing ONIE on a New QFX5210-64C-S Switch
The following information describes on how to install ONIE on the Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch. You can do a fresh install of ONIE image on the QFX5210-64C-S switch, or recover an existing ONIE image from the QFX5210-64C-S switch that has been corrupted.
To install ONIE on a new QFX5210-64C-S switch, you can use one of the following ONIE recovery images:
- ..iso -- Hybrid ISO image.
- ..efi64.pxe -- PXE image for UEFI64 machines.
Creating an ISO Recovery Image
You can use the recovery ISO (.iso) image to create a bootable USB memory device.
To create a bootable USB memory device, use the "dd" command on a Linux workstation as follows:
$ dd if=<machine>.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=10M
For example:
$ dd if=onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=10M
You can find the correct "/dev/sdX" by validating the "dmesg" output after inserting an USB device into the Linux workstation.
- Booting from a USB Memory Device
To boot from an external USB memory device connected to the QFX5210-64C-S switch, you need to:
a. Insert the USB memory device to the USB port of the QFX5210-64C-S switch.
b. Power on the QFX5210-64C-S switch and enter the BIOS configuration by pressing the Esc key, as displayed in the console screen.
c. Set the hard drive boot order as follows:
When you see the "Boot Option #1" displayed on the console screen, select the USB memory device:
Boot-->Boot Option Priorities-->Boot Option #1
If the USB memory device name is not listed in "Boot Option #1", check the priorities in the hard drive boot order:
Boot-->Hard Drive BBS Priorities-->Boot Option #1
For example, consider "JetFlashTranscend 8GB 8.07" as the USB memory device, the boot order will display as follows:
Boot Option Priorities
Boot Option #1 [JetFlashTranscend 8...]
Boot Option #2 [ATP ATP IG eUSB 1100]
Boot Option #3 [IBA GE Slot 00A0 v1543]
Boot Option #4 [UEFI: Built-in EFI ...]
d. Go to "Save & Exit" in the BIOS screen and from the Boot Override option select the USB memory device (For example, JetFlashTranscend 8GB 8.07).
e. After a few seconds, the QFX5210-64C-S switch would restart and boot from the USB memory device and then you will see the following on the console screen:

Use the ^ and v keys to select which entry is highlighted.
Press enter to boot the selected OS, `e' to edit the commands before booting or `c' for a command-line.
f. Select "ONIE: Embed ONIE" to create a fresh partition to install ONIE automatically.
Warning: All the data on the hard disk drive will be erased.
g. Select "ONIE: Rescue" to enter the ONIE recovery command-line shell (Optional).
- Recovering ONIE using PXE-UEFI64 Recovery Image
You can use the onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.efi64.pxe image to recover the ONIE image through UEFI PXE.
The onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.efi64.pxe is made for the QFX5210-64C-S switch that has a PXE client which is based on UEFI64. The onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.efi64.pxe is a combination of grub-efi-64 and the .iso recovery image, that looks like an UEFI application. The UEFI PXE client on the QFX5210-64C-S can then boot it.
For more information on UEFI PXE Netboot, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/PXE-netboot-install.
Note: To install the PXE-UEFI64 recovery image over the network, you need to configure your DHCP server so that DHCP clients receives the onie-recovery-x86_64-juniper_qfx5210-r0.efi64.pxe image as the bootfile.
To enable IPv4 PXE boot on the QFX5210-64C-S switch:
1) Enter the BIOS configuration.
2) Click "Save & Exit" menu on the "Boot Override" option.
3) Select "UEFI: IP4 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet"

Install SONiC on the Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch:
You need to copy the SONiC image sonic-broadcom.bin to the Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C-S switch. You can copy the sonic-broadcom.bin to an USB memory device and insert it to the USB port of the QFX5210-64C-S switch. You can also use the 'scp' command to copy the sonic-broadcom.bin image to the QFX5210-64C-S switch over the network.
Note: Unmount the USB memory device after copying the sonic-broadcom.bin. For example, umount /dev/sdX, where X is the name of the drive of the USB memory device.
Run the following command to install SONIC:
For example,
ONIE:/var/tmp # onie-nos-install /var/tmp/sonic-broadcom.bin
Booting SONiC
The QFX5210-64C-S switch restarts automatically after the SONiC image has been successfully installed.
- Select SONiC from the GRUB boot manager.
