User Interfaces

The user interfaces on a Services Router interact with the management process to execute commands and store and retrieve information from the configuration database. The user interfaces operate as clients that communicate with the JUNOS Internet software through an application programming interface (API).

The following primary user interfaces are shipped with the router:

• J-Web graphical user interface—Includes quick configuration capabilities for performing the minimum required steps to enable a feature, plus a built-in configuration editor with access to the entire configuration hierarchy to fully configure the router. The J-Web interface also provides tools for monitoring, managing, and diagnosing router operation.
• Command-line interface (CLI)—Grants access to the complete JUNOS command and configuration hierarchies, to monitor the router, diagnose problems, and configure it completely.

For more information, see Services Router User Interface Overview.

Other user interfaces for the Services Router interact with the management process through the common API interface. These interfaces are designed to facilitate the configuration of one or, in some cases, many routers on the network. Among the supported interfaces are the JUNOScope and Session and Resource Control (SRC) applications. For more information about these products, see the JUNOScope Software User Guide and the SRC-PE Getting Started Guide.
