Methods for Configuring the JUNOS Software

You can use any of the methods shown in Table 8 to configure JUNOS system software:

Table 8: Methods for Configuring JUNOS Software

Method

Description

Command-line interface (CLI)

Create the configuration for the router using the CLI. You can enter commands from a single command line, and scroll through recently executed commands.

ASCII file

Load an ASCII file containing a router configuration that you created earlier, either on this system or on another system. You can then activate and run the configuration file, or you can edit it using the CLI and then activate it.

J-Web graphical user interface (GUI)

Use the J-Web graphical user interface (GUI) to configure the router. J-Web enables you to monitor, configure, troubleshoot, and manage the router on a client by means of a Web browser. The J-Web GUI is preinstalled on J-series Services Routers and is an optional software package that can be installed on M-series and T-series routers.

JUNOScript application programming interface (API)

Use JUNOScript Perl client modules to develop custom applications for configuring information on routing platforms that run JUNOS software. Client applications use the JUNOScript API to request and change configuration information on Juniper Networks J-series, M-series, and T-series routing platforms. The JUNOScript API is customized for JUNOS software and operations in the API are equivalent to JUNOS CLI.

NETCONF application programming interface (API)

Use NETCONF Perl client modules to develop custom applications for configuring information on routing platforms that run JUNOS software. Client applications use the NETCONF API to request and change configuration information on Juniper Networks J-series, M-series, and T-series routing platforms. The NETCONF API includes features that accommodate the configuration data models of multiple vendors.

Configuration commit scripts

Create scripts that run at commit time to enforce custom configuration rules. Commit scripts are written in Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT).

This section contains complete descriptions of the following methods you can use to configure JUNOS system software:
