Before You Begin

Before you configure network interfaces, you need to perform the following tasks:

• Install Services Router hardware. For more information, see the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.
• Establish basic connectivity. For more information, see the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.
• If you do not already have a basic understanding of physical and logical interfaces and Juniper Networks interface conventions, read Interfaces Overview.

Although it is not a requirement, you might also want to plan how you are going to use the various network interfaces before you start configuring them. You can see a list of the physical interfaces installed on the J-series Services Router by displaying the Quick Configuration page, as shown in Figure 11.
