Features in JUNOS Software Release 9.4 for J-series Services Routers
JUNOS Software Features
Release 9.4R4 of JUNOS software includes the following features. For more information, see the manuals described in the list of publications.
Unified Access Control
You can configure a J-series Services Router to act as a JUNOS Enforcer in a Unified Access Control (UAC) deployment. When deployed as a JUNOS Enforcer, the J-series device enforces the policies that are defined on the UAC’s Infranet Controller.
To configure the J-series device as a JUNOS Enforcer, enable the uac-policy option for the application-services statement at the [set security policies from-zone zone-name to-zone zone-name policy match then permit] hierarchy level. Then use the unified-access-control statement at the [edit services] hierarchy level to configure UAC features. For more information, see the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide.
VPLS
This release supports virtual private LAN service (VPLS), an Ethernet-based point-to-multipoint Layer 2 virtual private network (VPN), on J-series Services Routers. VPLS allows you to connect geographically dispersed Ethernet LAN sites to each other across a service provider's MPLS backbone.
To configure VPLS on a provider edge (PE) router to a customer edge (CE) router, use the following statements:
- set interfaces <name> encapsulation ethernet-vpls | extended-vlan-vpls | vlan-vpls
- set interfaces <name> unit 0 family vpls
To create and configure a VPLS routing instance, use the following statements:
- set routing interfaces <name> instance-type vpls
- set routing interfaces <name> protocols vpls site-range <number> site <name> site-identifier <number>
- set routing-instances <name> protocols vpls no-tunnel-services
- set routing-instances <name> route-distinguisher <distinguisher>
- set routing-instances <name> vrf-target target: <target>
- set routing-instances <name> instance-type vpls interface <interface>
 | Note: You must also configure MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) between PE routers, internal BGP (IBGP) sessions between PE routers, and an interior gateway protocol (IGP) on the PE routers. |
For more information, see the JUNOS Software Interfaces and Routing Configuration Guide.
