Scope of Logical System Administration

Logical system administrators are confined to the context of the logical systems to which they are assigned. Any global configuration statements are restricted from them, and command output is restricted to the context to which the logical system administrators are assigned.

For Junos OS Release 9.1 and later, when a physical interface is specified within a logical system context, the show interfaces command output only displays information about the logical interfaces assigned to that logical system.

From within the context of a logical system (which you can select from the main router context by using the set cli logical-systems logical-system-name command), the show interfaces command output is limited to the resources assigned to the logical system:

• The physical interfaces are listed by name, but no statistics are displayed.
• Only the logical interfaces assigned to the logical system are listed, with statistics displayed.
• None of the special, system-generated logical interfaces with logical unit number 32767 are listed.

At the main router level (to which you can return from the logical system context by using the clear cli logical system command), the show interfaces command output displays statistics for all interfaces configured on the router:

• Statistics are displayed for all physical interfaces.
• Statistics are displayed for all logical interfaces.
• Statistics are displayed for all system-generated logical interfaces with logical unit number 32767.
