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 28 lists key Quick Configuration tasks and their functions.

Table 28: Quick Configuration Tasks Summary

Quick Configuration Task	Function
System	Define network identification, default gateway, name and time servers, root user authentication, and basic local network access to the system.
Secure Access	Configure certificates, secure access methods, and interfaces to enable HTTP and HTTPS Web management.
Interfaces	List all interfaces installed on the system, and configure logical interfaces and common interface parameters.
Users	Define users allowed to access the routing platform, and configure authentication servers. Pick an authorization level for each user.
SNMP	Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access to a device. Define SNMP communities. Specify which SNMP traps are generated and the recipients of those traps.
Routing and Protocols (J-series routing platforms only)	Define default and static routes, and the basic routing configuration for the following routing protocols: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Data Link Switching (DLSw)
Class of Service	Define class-of-service (CoS) components to provide differentiated services when best-effort traffic delivery is not sufficient.
FEB Redundancy (M120 routing platform only)	Configure Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) redundancy groups to provide high availability for FEBs. FEBs provide route lookup and forwarding functions from Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) and compact FPCs.
Firewall/NAT (J-series routing platforms only)	Apply a stateful firewall filter to WAN interfaces. Choose the applications that are allowed through the firewall from the WAN. Enable Network Address Translation.
DHCP (J-series routing platforms only)	Provide Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service to specified LAN networks or hosts. Specify DHCP address ranges.
IPSec Tunnels (J-series routing platforms only)	Create IP Security (IPSec) tunnels to private networks.
RPM	Define performance probes and thresholds for real-time performance monitoring (RPM) verification and network performance.
Firewall Filters	Configure input and output firewall filters—also known as access control lists (ACLs). Apply firewall filters to specific interfaces.

Table 29 describes the functions of the buttons that appear on J-Web Quick Configuration pages.

Table 29: J-Web Quick Configuration Buttons

Button	Function
Add	Adds statements or identifiers to the configuration.
Delete	Deletes statements or identifiers from the configuration.
OK	Commits your entries into the configuration, and returns you to the previous J-Web page.
Cancel	Clears the entries you have not yet applied to the configuration, and returns you to the previous J-Web page.
Apply	Commits your entries into the configuration, and stays on the same J-Web page.

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:

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.
