Interfaces Supported by the JUNOS Software

The JUNOS software supports a greater range of interfaces than those described in this book. Future revisions of this book will include the steps for monitoring additional interfaces supported by the JUNOS software. Table 3 lists the interface types supported by the JUNOS software and shows the interface name as it appears in a configuration.
