JUNOS Software Components

The JUNOS system software runs on the Routing Engine. The JUNOS system software consists of software processes that support Internet routing protocols, control router interfaces and the router chassis, and allow router system management. The JUNOS software processes run on top of a kernel, which enables communication between processes and provides a direct link to the Packet Forwarding Engine software. The JUNOS software can be used to configure routing protocols and router interface properties, as well as to monitor and troubleshoot protocol and network connectivity problems.

Note: For more information about monitoring the router and troubleshooting problems, see the JUNOS System Basics and Services Command Reference, the JUNOS Interfaces Command Reference, and the JUNOS Routing Protocols and Policies Command Reference.
