The JUNOS interface process allows you to configure and control the physical interface devices and logical interfaces present in a router. You can configure interface properties such as the interface location (which slot the Flexible PIC Concentrator [FPC] is installed in and which location on the FPC the Physical Interface Card [PIC] is installed in), the interface encapsulation, and interface-specific properties. You can configure the interfaces currently present in the router, as well as interfaces that are not present but that you might add later.
The JUNOS interface process communicates through the JUNOS kernel with the interface process in the Packet Forwarding Engine, enabling the JUNOS software to track the status and condition of the router’s interfaces.
