Setting Up Junos Devices

In This Chapter

  • Setting up options for more complete router operation
  • Configuring user accounts with different capabilities
  • Configuring the management and loopback interfaces for non-user traffic
  • Configuring network interfaces for user traffic
  • Configuring other options, such as time zones

A network device needs more than a basic “the device can start itself up” software configuration to perform its role as a router connecting IP subnets or a switch connecting LANs. In a sense, this entire book is about configuring the Junos OS to do what is necessary for a specific situation.

In this chapter, we take the configuration another large step forward. You see how to set up options such as system logging and configure user accounts and network interfaces for user traffic. You even see how to configure options such as time zones and banners for login.

By the time you finish the chapter, you will know how to complete the configuration of the Junos OS in terms of access and other essentials.
