Hello again.
Just to confirm the steps if they are correct:
1. download the firmware I want to upgrade to ie 5.2.0r2.0 (Do i get the
zip file or the bin, or is the bin file contained in the zip file)
2. From the Juniper GUI browse and load the Image to be upgraded.
3. Once loaded reboot the juniper for the changes to take effect.
Problem here again, I have been re-tryin to download the zip file from
www.gegereka.com even after getting the access code, what and where is
the easiet URL to download the update?
Regards
George
