Junos OS Release Numbers

The Junos OS release number represents a particular revision of the software that runs on a Juniper Networks routing platform, for example, Junos OS Release 8.5, 9.1, or 9.2. Each Junos OS release has certain new features that complement the software processes that support Internet routing protocols, control the device’s interfaces and the device chassis itself, and allow device system management. On the Juniper Networks Support Web page, you download Junos OS for a particular Junos OS release number.
The following example shows how the software release number is formatted:
m.nZb.s

For example:
9.2R1.8

Where:
  • m is the major release number of the product
  • n is the minor release number of the product
  • Z is the type of software release. The following release types are used:
    • R—FRS/Maintenance release software
    • B—Beta release software
    • I—Internal release software: Private software release for verifying fixes
    • S—Service release software: Released to customers to solve a specific problem—this release will be maintained along with the life span of the underlying release
    • X—Special (eXception) release software: Released to customers to solve an immediate problem—customers are expected to migrate to a supported release when available
  • b is the build number of the product
    • if b=1: Software is the FRS release
    • if b>1: Software is a maintenance release
  • s is the spin number of the product
