Other Tools to Configure and Monitor JUNOS Routers

The JUNOS software also supports the following applications, scripts, and utilities you can use to configure and monitor JUNOS routers:

• J-Web graphical user interface (GUI)—Allows you to monitor, configure, troubleshoot, and manage the router on a client by means of a Web browser with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) enabled. For more information, see the J-Web Interface User Guide.
• JUNOScript Application Programming Interface (API)—Application programmers can use the JUNOScript API to monitor and configure Juniper Networks routing platforms. Juniper Networks provides a Perl module with the API to help you more quickly and easily develop custom Perl scripts for configuring and monitoring routing platforms. For more information, see the JUNOScript API Guide.
• NETCONF Application Programming Interface (API)—Application programmers can also use the NETCONF API to monitor and configure Juniper Networks routing platforms. For more information, see the NETCONF API Guide.
• JUNOS commit scripts and self-diagnosis features—You can define scripts to enforce custom configuration rules, use commit script macros to provide simplified aliases for frequently used configuration statements, and configure diagnostic event policies and actions associated with each policy. For more information, see the JUNOS Configuration and Diagnostic Automation Guide.
• Management Information Bases (MIBs)—You can use enterprise-specific and standard MIBS to retrieve information about the hardware and software components on a Juniper Networks router. For more information about MIBs, see the JUNOS Network Management Configuration Guide.
