Using Quick Configuration

To access Quick Configuration, select Configuration>Quick Configuration. You select a Quick Configuration task by clicking it in the side pane, or selecting it in the main pane. Quick Configuration pages provide access to the most commonly configured parameters for most supported features. Figure 14 shows the Quick Configuration tasks on a J-series routing platform.

Depending on the complexity of the feature you want to configure, use the Quick Configuration tasks as follows:

• For simple features—Quick Configuration allows you to perform basic configurations easily. It simplifies configuration by combining a few actions in one, so that you are not required to configure each statement individually. For example, the Set Up Quick Configuration page allows you to easily perform all configuration required for setting up basic connectivity from one single page. (See Sample Task—Configuring Setup with Quick Configuration.)
• For complex features—Quick Configuration allows you to view existing configurations at a glance and edit and manage them easily. Because it provides a complete view of configurations on a single page, Quick Configuration is a very useful tool for planning and managing complex features. For example, the Stateless Firewall Filter Quick Configuration page displays multiple filters and terms as rows that you can reorder by simply clicking on up or down arrows. Match conditions and actions are displayed as intuitive icons. (See Sample Task—Configuring Firewall Filters with Quick Configuration.)

  Table 26 lists key Quick Configuration tasks and their functions.

Table 27 describes the functions of the buttons that appear on J-Web Quick Configuration pages.

Sample Task—Configuring Setup with Quick Configuration

Figure 15 shows the Set Up Quick Configuration page. This page allows you to manage and configure basic routing platform setup easily from one location. You name the routing platform, set the root password, assign network addresses and servers. Set the time, and determine your management access by selecting or typing these values.

In this example, your are performing the following tasks to configure basic settings on the routing platform:

• Configuring the Router Identification
• Configuring the Network
• Configuring the Management Access

For more information about setting up your system, see Configuring Basic Settings on the Routing Platform and the JUNOS Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Sample Task—Configuring Firewall Filters with Quick Configuration

Figure 16 shows the Firewall Filter Quick Configuration page. This page allows you to view multiple filters and terms on a single page and reorder them by simply clicking up or down arrows. Match conditions and actions are displayed as intuitive icons. You can also search for a filter by name and display a specified number of filters on the page.

In this example, the Firewall Filters Quick Configuration page shows two filters—filter1 and filter2. The expanded filter2 displays three terms. Each term consists of two components—match conditions and actions. The match conditions define the values or fields that the packet must contain to be considered a match. If a packet is a match, the corresponding action is taken. By default, a packet that does not match a firewall filter is discarded. The icons displayed across each term indicate the associated match condition and action:

• term 1—Accepts any packet with 3.3.0.0/24 as a source or destination address.
• term 2—Matches any packet with an ldp source or destination port and sets a low PLP bit on the packet.
• term 3—Discards any packet with a destination address 10.0.0.0/24.

The order of the terms and filters is important. The routing platform compares a route against the match conditions of each term in a routing policy, starting with the first and moving through the terms in the order in which they are defined, until a match is made. If none of the terms in the policy match the route, the routing platform compares the route against the next policy, and so on, until either an action is taken or the default policy is evaluated. The Firewall Filter Quick Configuration page allows you to reorder terms and filters by clicking up or down arrows and thus simplifies management of complex filters.
