Junos packages

In order to collect data from Junos using openconfig telemetry, the devices require the Junos packages openconfig and network agent

Starting with Junos OS Release 18.3R1:

• the Junos OS image includes the OpenConfig package; therefore, you do not need anymore to install OpenConfig separately on your device.
• the Junos OS image includes the Network Agent, therefore, you do not need anymore to install the network agent separately on your device.

This setup is using an older Junos release, so it is required to install these two packages.

Download these two packages from Juniper website and save them in your local directory.

we will execute the python script upgrade_junos.py to add these two packages to the Junos devices indicated in this inventory.yml file

Install the requirements:

$ sudo apt install python-pip
$ pip install junos-eznc

Update the devices inventory:

$ vi inventory.yml

Run this command to execute the python script upgrade_junos.py

$ python ./upgrade_junos.py

ssh to a Junos device and verify it uses these packages:

jcluser@vMX1> file list
