Hi There,
I am in the process to upgrade qfx5200-32c and 48y and I would like to install the recommended version, the 18.1R3-S6.
Heading to the Juniper website for sw download, now i am in front of 3 choices:
- QFX 5e Series Switch with Enhanced Automation - Secure Boot
- QFX 5e Series - Secure Boot
- Limited - QFX 5e Series Switch - Secure Boot
So all of them have Secure Boot so no need to go deep on this topic.
What about the remaining meaning?
QFX 5e Series Switch with Enhanced Automation
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/junos-flex-overview.html
This one looks to me that it is intended in case of any automation is needed and
"Veriexec is disabled, which enables you to run unsigned programs, such as programs that you develop with Python, Chef, and Puppet"
QFX 5e Series - Secure Boot
I am assuming that this one is like the above but with less support for automation but i could not find any exlapanation
Limited - QFX 5e Series Switch - Secure Boot
This one is for
https://www-origin.junipercloud.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/software-install-and-upgrade-overview.html#id-junos-os-editions
"Version has no cryptographic support and is intended for countries in the Eurasian Customs Union (EACU). These countries have import restrictions on software containing data-plane encryption. "
and it is not my case cause the hardware i am going to upgrade is not located in any EACU state
Based on your experience do you agree with me that the correct choice here is the QFX 5e Series Switch with Enhanced Automation ?
Could someone bring any light on what is the QFX 5e Series - Secure Boot?
Thanks!
