Chapter Organization

Most chapters in this manual consist of a brief description of a specific software component followed by the commands that you use for monitoring and troubleshooting that component. A table at the beginning of the chapter lists commands available for monitoring and troubleshooting the software components. Then, the commands are explained alphabetically.

The commands in this manual typically contain the following information:

• Syntax—Describes the full syntax of the command. For an explanation of how to read the syntax statements, see Documentation Conventions.
• Description—Describes the function of the command.
• Options—Describes the command's options, if there are any. For options with numeric values, the allowed range and default value, if any, are listed. For multiple options, if one option is the default, that fact is stated.
• Required privilege level—Indicates the permissions that the user must have to view the command. For an explanation of the permissions, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
• See also—Indicates other commands or statements that might provide related or similar functionality.
• Output fields—Describes each possible output field for the command, including ranges and default values. These fields are first listed alphabetically, then listed in the order in which they appear in more detail.
