I was about to try 19.4R3 on basically the same hardware, seems to work well on 
my MX80s and ACX2200s.

In my experience 17.3R3-Sx also works with RE-2000, original SCB-MX,
and MPC line cards, although I don't know about support for DPC cards.

See the doc here:

Please note the very important info below:

Support for upgrades and downgrades that span more than three Junos OS releases 
at a time is not provided, except for releases that are designated as Extended 
End-of-Life (EEOL) releases. EEOL releases provide direct upgrade and downgrade 
paths—you can upgrade directly from one EEOL release to the next EEOL release 
even though EEOL releases generally occur in increments beyond three releases.
You can upgrade or downgrade to the EEOL release that occurs directly before or 
after the currently installed EEOL release, or to two EEOL releases before or 
after. For example, Junos OS Releases 14.1, 14.2, 15.1 and 16.1 are EEOL 
releases. You can upgrade from Junos OS Release 14.1 to Release 15.1 or even 
from Junos OS Release 14.1 to Release 16.1. However, you cannot upgrade 
directly from a non-EEOL release that is more than three releases ahead or 
behind.
To upgrade or downgrade from a non-EEOL release to a release more than three 
releases before or after, first upgrade to the next EEOL release and then 
upgrade or downgrade from that EEOL release to your target release.
For more information about EEOL releases and to review a list of EEOL releases, 
see https://www.juniper.net/support/eol/junos.html.


Sounds like you’ll need to go to 15.1, then 16.1, then 16.2.

Good point! TSB16735 says last version of Junos to support SCB-MX960 is 16.2


Junos 17.3R3-S10
Junos 18.4R2-S5
Junos 19.3R3-S2
Junos 19.4R3-S3

so which steps to get from 14 to 16.2?  15.x 16.2?

https://support.juniper.net/support/eol/software/junos/
Although the last supported Release is 16.2, you might want to run 
16.1$latest. It feels like 16.2 was intended to be supported longer, but


"16.1R7: EOE extended to 28-Jul-2020 and EOS extended to 28-Jan-2021."

So the "newest" Release is most likely 16.1 as the End of Engineering 
was later and therefore more fixes/changes went into that than into 16.2.


End of Services was extended for 16.2 as well:
"16.2: EOS extended to 01-May-2021 for T4000, TX-3D, MX240/480/960, 
PTX3000 and PTX5000."

But end of engineering was not.

And as we are past both end of services now, it might make more sense to 
stick with the release that got more engineering.


Most of our customers still holding onto RE2000 are on 16.1
Some managed to upgrade successfully even beyond that, but its not 
supported and might create interesting problems. Similar to when RE1300 
was not intended to go past 14.2 but would still run on 15.X an newer 
often :)

Tobias

ahhh; still that silliness.  it is in amerika.


As for 64/32 bit, check what it’s running now and go from there:

‘show version | match kernel’
https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content=KB25803

 r...@r1.dfw> show version | match kernel
 JUNOS Kernel Software Suite [14.2R7.5]

so i assume 32


yeah it's 32 bit

RE-S-2000-4096 is a 2ghz pentium m and afaik doesn't do 64bit.
