Initial Configuration Overview for Junos OS Devices

After you install and power on the Junos OS device, you are ready to begin initial
configuration. The Junos OS is preinstalled on all devices. The procedures in this guide
show you how to connect the router to the network but do not enable it to forward traffic.
For complete information about enabling the router to forward traffic, including examples,
see the Junos OS configuration guides. For information about how to upgrade or reinstall
software, see the Junos OS Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Gather the following information before configuring the device:

• Name the device will use on the network.

• Domain name the device will use.

• IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface.

• IP address of a default device.

• IP address of a DNS server

• Password for the root user

You configure the device by issuing Junos OS CLI commands, either on a console device
attached to the console port on the Routing Engine or over a Telnet connection to a
network connected to the management port on the Routing Engine.

NOTE: Only console access to the device is enabled by default. Use a console
port to connect to the device initially.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Understanding the Console Port

Console ports allow root access to the Junos operating system (Junos OS) devices
through a terminal or laptop interface, regardless of the state of the Junos OS device,
unless it is completely powered off. By connecting to the console port, you can access
the root level of the Junos OS device without using the network to which the device might
or might not be connected. This creates a secondary path to the Junos OS device without
relying on the network.

Using the terminal interface provides a technician sitting in a Network Operations Center
a long distance away the ability to restore a Junos OS device or perform an initialization
configuration securely, using a modem, even if the primary network has failed. Without
a connection to the console port, a technician would have to visit the site to perform
repairs or initialization. A remote connection to the Junos OS device through a modem
requires the cable and connector (provided in the device accessory box), plus a DB-9
male to DB-25 male (or similar) adapter for your modem, which you must purchase
separately. For more information about connecting to the console port, see the
administration guide for your particular router or switch.

To configure the device initially, you must connect a terminal or laptop computer to the
device through the console port, as shown in Figure 1 on page 18.

 Chapter 1: Accessing a Junos OS Device

Accessing a Junos OS Device the First Time

When you power on a Junos OS device the first time, Junos OS automatically boots and
starts.

To configure the device initially, you must connect a terminal or laptop computer to the
device through the console port—a serial port on the front of the router. Only console
access to the device is enabled by default. Remote management access to the router
and all management access protocols, including Telnet, FTP, and SSH, are disabled
by default.

To access a Junos OS device the first time:

1. Connect a terminal or laptop computer to the Junos OS device through the console
port—a serial port on the front of the device.

2. Power on the device and wait for it to boot.

Junos OS boots automatically. The boot process is complete when you see the login:
prompt on the console.

3. Log in as the user root.

Initially, the root user account requires no password. You can see that you are the root
user, because the prompt on the device shows the username root@%.

4. Start the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI).

root@% cli
root@>

5. Enter Junos OS configuration mode.

cli> configure

Understanding the Root Password

The root user has complete privileges to operate and configure the Junos OS device,
perform upgrades, and manage files in the file system. Initially, the root password is not
defined on the Junos OS device. To ensure basic security, you must define the root
password during initial configuration. If a root password is not defined, you cannot commit
configuration settings on the device.

NOTE: If you use a plain text password, Junos OS displays the password as
an encrypted string so that users viewing the configuration cannot see it.

The root password must meet the following conditions:

• Be at least six characters long. Most character classes can be included in a password
(alphabetic, numeric, and special characters), except control characters.

• Contain at least one change of case or character class.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Protecting Network Security by Configuring the Root Password

Configuring the root password on your Junos OS-enabled router helps prevent
unauthorized users from making changes to your network. The root user (also referred
to as superuser) has unrestricted access and full permissions within the system, so it is
crucial to protect these functions by setting a strong password when setting up a new
router.

After a new router is initially powered on, you log in as the user root with no password.
Junos OS requires configuration of the root password before it accepts a commit
operation. On a new device, the root password must always be a part of the configuration
submitted with your initial commit.

To set the root password, you have a few options as shown in Step 1 of the following
procedure.

• Enter a plain-text password that Junos OS encrypts.

• Enter a password that is already encrypted.

• Enter a secure shell (ssh) public key string.

The most secure options of these three are using an already encrypted password or an
ssh public key string. Pre-encrypting your password or using a ssh public key string means
the plain-text version of your password will never be transferred over the internet,
protecting it from being intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack.

BEST PRACTICE: Optionally, instead of configuring the root password at the

[edit system] hierarchy level, you can use a configuration group to strengthen
security, as shown in Step 2 of this procedure. This step uses a group called
global as an example.

To set the root password:

22 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 2: Configuring the Root Password

1. Use one of these methods to configure the root password:

• To enter a plain-text password that the system encrypts for you:

[edit groups global system]

root@# set root-authentication plain-text-password
New Password: type password here
Retype new password: retype password here

If you use a plain-text password, Junos OS displays the password as an encrypted

string so that users viewing the configuration cannot see it. As you enter the password
in plain text, Junos OS encrypts it immediately. You do not have to configure Junos
OS to encrypt the password as in some other systems. Plain-text passwords are
hidden and marked as ## SECRET-DATA in the configuration.

• To enter a password that is already encrypted:

CAUTION: Do not use the encrypted-password option unless the

password is already encrypted, and you are entering the encrypted
version of the password.

If you accidentally configure the encrypted-password option with a

plain-text password or with blank quotation marks (" "), you will not be
able to log in to the device as root, and you will need to complete the
root password recovery process.

[edit groups global system]

root@# set root-authentication encrypted-password password

• To enter an ssh public key string:

[edit groups global system]

root@# set root-authentication (ssh-dsa | ssh-ecdsa | ssh-rsa key)

2. (Optional) Strengthen security by only allowing root access from the console port.

[edit groups global system]

root@# set services ssh root-login deny

3. If you used a configuration group in Step 2, apply the configuration group, substituting
global with the appropriate group name.

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups global

4. Commit the changes.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Recovering the Root Password

If you forget the root password for the router, you can use the password recovery
procedure to reset the root password.

NOTE: You need console access to recover the root password.

NOTE: This password recovery procedure does not apply to devices running
Junos OS with Upgraded FreeBSD. See Recovering the Root Password on
Junos OS with Upgraded FreeBSD. For MX80 Series routers, try this procedure
first, but if it does not work you can manually delete the root-authentication
settings from the Junos configuration file and reset the password, as explained
here: Recovering the Root Password for MX80.

Video: Recovering the Root Password

To recover the root password:

1. Power off the router by pressing the power button on the front panel.

2. Turn off the power to the management device, such as a PC or laptop computer, that
you want to use to access the CLI.

3. Plug one end of the Ethernet rollover cable supplied with the router into the
RJ-45–to–DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with the router.

4. Plug the RJ-45–to–DB-9 serial port adapter into the serial port on the management
device.

5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet rollover cable to the console port on the router.

6. Turn on the power to the management device.

7. On the management device, start your asynchronous terminal emulation application

(such as Microsoft Windows Hyperterminal) and select the appropriate COM port to
use (for example, COM1).

8. Configure the port settings as follows:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

24 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 2: Configuring the Root Password

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

9. Power on the router by pressing the power button on the front panel.

Verify that the POWER LED on the front panel turns green.

The terminal emulation screen on your management device displays the router’s boot
sequence.

10. When the following prompt appears, press the Spacebar to access the router’s
bootstrap loader command prompt:

Depending on your device hardware, the bootstrap loader might proceed quite quickly
at this step without pausing for input. Therefore, you might need to press the spacebar
multiple times at the beginning of the boot sequence.

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or space bar for command prompt.

Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds...

11. At the following prompt, type boot -s to start the system in single-user mode.

ok boot -s

12. At the following prompt, type recovery to start the root password recovery procedure.

Enter full pathname of shell or 'recovery' for root password recovery or RETURN
for /bin/sh: recovery

13. Enter configuration mode in the CLI.

14. Set the root password.

[edit]
user@host# set system root-authentication plain-text-password

When you configure a plain-text password, Junos OS encrypts the password for you.

CAUTION: Do not use the encrypted-password option unless the password

is already encrypted, and you are entering the encrypted version of the
password. If you commit the encrypted-password option with a plain-text
password or with blank quotation marks (" "), you will not be able to log
in to the device as root, and you will need to repeat this password recovery
process.

15. At the following prompt, enter the new root password, for example:

New password: password

Retype new password:

16. At the second prompt, reenter the new root password.

17. After you have finished configuring the password, commit the configuration.

root@host# commit
commit complete

18. Exit configuration mode in the CLI.

19. Exit operational mode in the CLI.

20. At the prompt, type y to reboot the router.

Configuring the Hostname

• Understanding Hostnames on page 27

• Configuring the Hostname of a Router or Switch by Using a Configuration
Group on page 28

Understanding Hostnames

Almost all devices in your network have a hostname.

The hostname is the name that identifies the device on the network and is easier to
remember than an IP address. When you first power on a Juniper Networks router, switch,
or security device, the default hostname is Amnesiac. The Amnesiac prompt is indicative
of a device that is booting from a factory-fresh Junos OS software load, which, by
definition, does not have a hostname configured.

Administrators often follow conventions for naming devices. One such convention is to
name the device based on its location, for example: germany-berlin-R1. The hostname
should be unique within your network infrastructure, but there is no need for the local
hostname to be globally unique.

A device's hostname usually has a corresponding entry in the domain name system
(DNS) so that administrators can connect to the device using the hostname. The fully
qualified domain name (FQDN), which is used in DNS, includes the hostname and the
domain name. The hostname and the domain name labels are separated by periods or
dots, as follows: hostname.domain. For example, if the hostname is germany-berlin-R1
and the domain name is emea, the FQDN is germany-berlin-R1.emea. If the emea domain
is registered and can be reached as emea.net on the Internet, the FQDN for the device is
germany-berlin-R1.emea.net. The FQDN is globally unique.

In Junos OS, the hostname can contain any combination of alphabetic characters,
numbers, dashes, and underscores. No other special characters are allowed.

Although Junos OS allows hostnames to contain up to 255 characters, keep in mind that
the total length of the hostname as an FQDN cannot exceed 255 characters (including
the delimiting dots), with each domain name label having a maximum length of 63
characters. In any case, an overly long hostname is difficult to type and to remember, so
short and meaningful hostnames are a best practice.

Configuring the Hostname of a Router or Switch by Using a Configuration Group

The hostname of a device is its identification. A router or switch must have its identity
established to be accessible on the network to other devices. That is perhaps the most
important reason to have a hostname, but a hostname has other purposes: Junos OS
uses the configured hostname as part of the command prompt, to prepend log files and
other accounting information, as well as in other places where knowing the device identity
is useful. We recommend that the hostname be descriptive and memorable.

You can configure the hostname at the [edit system] hierarchy level, a procedure shown
in “Example: Configuring the Unique Identity of a Router for Making it Accessible on the
Network” on page 35. Optionally, instead of configuring the hostname at the [edit system]
hierarchy level, you can use a configuration group, as shown in this procedure. This is a
recommended best practice for configuring the hostname, especially if the device has
dual Routing Engines. This procedure uses groups called re0 and re1 as an example.

NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 13.2R3, if you configure hostnames

that are longer than the CLI screen width, regardless of the terminal screen
width setting, the commit operation occurs successfully. Even if the terminal
screen width is less than the hostname length, commit is successful. In Junos
OS releases earlier than Release 13.2R3, if you configured such hostnames
by using the host-name hostname statement at the [edit system] hierarchy
level and the the terminal screen width was less than the length of the
hostname by using the set cli screen-width statement, a foreign file
propagation (ffp) failure error message is displayed when you attempt to
commit the configuration. In such a case, because of the ffp failure, the
commit operation does not complete and you cannot recover the router
unless you make the modification in the backend in the juniper.conf.gz file
and commit the change from the shell prompt.

To set the hostname using a configuration group:

1. Include the host-name statement in the configuration at the [edit groups group-name
system hierarchy level.

The name value must be less than 256 characters.

[edit groups group-name system]

host-name hostname;

For example:

[edit groups re0 system]

root@# set host-name san-jose-router0

[edit groups re1 system]

root@# set host-name san-jose-router1

 Chapter 3: Configuring the Hostname

2. If you used one or more configuration groups, apply the configuration groups,
substituting the appropriate group names.

For example:

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups [re0 re1]

3. Commit the changes.

[edit]
root@# commit

The hostname subsequently appears in the device CLI prompt.

san-jose-router0#

DNS Overview

A Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed hierarchical system that converts

hostnames to IP addresses. The DNS is divided into sections called zones. Each zone has
name servers that respond to the queries belonging to their zones.

This topic includes the following sections:

• DNS Components on page 31

• DNS Server Caching on page 31

DNS Components
DNS includes three main components:

• DNS resolver — Resides on the client side of the DNS. When a user sends a hostname
request, the resolver sends a DNS query request to the name servers to request the
hostname's IP address.

• Name servers — Processes the DNS query requests received from the DNS resolver
and returns the IP address to the resolver.

• Resource records — Data elements that define the basic structure and content of the
DNS.

DNS Server Caching

DNS name servers are responsible for providing the hostname IP address to users. The
TTL field in the resource record defines the period for which DNS query results are cached.
When the TTL value expires, the name server sends a fresh DNS query and updates the
cache.

• DNSSEC Overview

Reaching a Domain Name System Server

Domain name system (DNS) servers are used for resolving hostnames to IP addresses.

For redundancy, it is a best practice to configure access to multiple DNS servers. You can
configure a maximum of three DNS servers. The approach is similar to the way Web
browsers resolve the names of a Web site to its network address. Additionally, Junos OS
enables you configure one or more domain names, which it uses to resolve hostnames
that are not fully qualified (in other words, the domain name is missing). This is convenient
because you can use a hostname in configuring and operating Junos OS without the need
to reference the full domain name. After adding DNS server addresses and domain names
to your Junos OS configuration, you can use DNS resolvable hostnames in your
configuration and commands instead of IP addresses.

Optionally, instead of configuring the name server at the [edit system] hierarchy level,
you can use a configuration group, as shown in this procedure. This is a recommended
best practice for configuring the name server. This procedure uses a group called global
as an example.

Before you begin, configure your DNS servers with the hostname and an IP address for
your Junos OS device. It does not matter which IP address you assign as the address of
your Junos OS device in the DNS server, as long it is an address that reaches your device.
Normally, you would use the management interface IP address, but you can choose the
loopback interface IP address, or a network interface IP address, or even configure multiple
addresses on the DNS server.

To configure the router or switch to resolve hostnames into addresses:

1. Reference the IP addresses of your DNS servers.

[edit groups group-name system]

name-server {
address;
}

The following example shows how to reference two DNS servers:

[edit groups global system]

user@host# set name-server 192.168.1.253
user@host# set name-server 192.168.1.254

user@host# show
name server {
192.168.1.253;
192.168.1.254;
}

2. (Optional) Configure the name of the domain in which the device itself is located.

32 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 4: Configuring DNS

This is a good practice. Junos OS then uses this configured domain name as the default
domain name to append to hostnames that are not fully qualified.

[edit system]
domain-name domain-name;

The following example shows how to configure the domain name:

[edit groups global system]

user@host# set domain-name company.net

user@host# show
domain-name company.net;

3. (Optional) Configure a list of domains to be searched.

If your device can reach several different domains, you can configure these as a list
of domains to be searched. Junos OS then uses this list to set an order in which it
appends domain names when searching for the IP address of a host.

[edit groups global system]

domain-search [ domain-list ];

The domain list can contain up to six domain names, with a total of up to
256 characters.

The following example shows how to configure two domains to be searched. This
example configures Junos OS to search the company.net domain and then the
domainone.net domain and then the domainonealternate.com domain when
attempting to resolve unqualified hosts.

[edit groups global system]

domain-search [ company.net domainone.net domainonealternate.com ]

4. If you used a configuration group, apply the configuration group, substituting global
with the appropriate group name.

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups global

5. Commit the configuration.

user@host# commit

6. Verify the configuration.

If you have configured your DNS server with the hostname and an IP address for your
Junos OS device, you can issue the following commands to confirm that DNS is working
and reachable. You can either use the configured hostname to confirm resolution to
the IP address or use the IP address of your device to confirm resolution to the
configured hostname.

• Verification on page 35

Requirements
No special configuration beyond device initialization is required before performing this
task.

Overview
The DNS name server stores DNS query responses in its cache for the TTL period specified
in the TTL field of the resource record. When the TTL value expires, the name server
sends a fresh DNS query and updates the cache. You can configure the TTL value from
0 to 604,800 seconds. You can also configure the TTL value for cached negative
responses. Negative caching is the storing of the record that a value does not exist. In
this example, you set the maximum TTL value for cached (and negative cached)
responses to 86,400 seconds.

Configuration

Step-by-Step To configure the TTL value for a DNS server cache:

Procedure
1. Specify the maximum TTL value for cached responses, in seconds.

Example: Configuring the Unique Identity of a Router for Making it Accessible on the
Network

To use a router in a network, you must configure the router’s identify. Configuring a router’s
identity makes the router accessible on the network and so that other users can log in to
it. You can refer to any Internet-connected machine in either of two ways:

• By its IP address

• By its hostname

Once you have a hostname, you can find the IP address, you can use the Domain Name
System (DNS) to resolve an IP address from a hostname, or you can manually map the
hostname to a static IP address. Although using the DNS is an easier and more scalable
way to resolve IP addresses from hostnames, you might not have a DNS entry for the
router, or you might not want the computer to contact the DNS server to resolve a
particular IP address (perhaps you use this particular IP address a lot, or you might be
using it only for testing or development purposes and do not want to give it a DNS entry).

To configure a router’s unique identity, you might need to include all or part of the
following: the hostname of the router, its IP address, the domain name, two or three
name servers, mapping of the hostname to the IP address.

• Requirements on page 35
• Overview on page 35
• Configuration on page 36
• Verification on page 37

Requirements
No special configuration beyond device initialization is required before configuring this
example.

Overview
A hostname is the router’s name. It is easier for most people to remember a hostname
than an IP address. Junos OS uses the configured hostname as part of the command
prompt, to prepend log files and other accounting information, as well as in other places

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 35

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

where knowing the device identity is useful. You can use the hostname to telnet to a
router.

The domain name is the string appended to hostnames that are not fully qualified. The
domain name is the name of a network associated with an organization. For sites in the
United States, domain names typically take the form of org-name.org-type.

The mapping of hostnames to IP addresses is handled through a service called the

Domain Name System (DNS). A series of special DNS servers across the world known
as name servers keep track of the hostname and IP address information for all the devices
on the Internet. Applications that need to determine an IP address from a hostname (or
vice versa) contact the local name server to get this information. You can set a few name
servers.

In case your hostname and IP address do not have a DNS entry in a name server, configure
a static mapping.

In this example, the values given in Table 3 on page 36 are used to configure each of
these variables. You need to substitute data pertinent to your router and network for
these values.

Interfaces

• Management Interface in a Non-Default Instance on page 41
• Understanding the Loopback Interface on page 46
• Configuring a Loopback Interface on page 47

Understanding Management Ethernet Interfaces

Management interfaces are the primary interfaces for accessing the device remotely.
Typically, a management interface is not connected to the in-band network, but is
connected instead to the device's internal network. Through a management interface
you can access the device over the network using utilities such as ssh and telnet and
configure the device from anywhere, regardless of its physical location. SNMP can use
the management interface to gather statistics from the device.

A management interface lets authorized users and management systems connect to

the device over the network. Some Juniper Networks devices have a dedicated
management port on the front panel. For other types of platforms, you can configure a
management interface on one of the network interfaces. This interface can be dedicated
to management or shared with other traffic. Before users can access the management
interface, you must configure it. Information required to set up the management interface
includes its IP address and prefix. In many types of Junos OS devices (or recommended
configurations), it is not possible to route traffic between the management interface and
the other ports. Therefore, you should select an IP address in a separate (logical) network,
with a separate prefix (netmask).

For devices with dedicated management ports, Junos OS automatically configures the
router’s management Ethernet interface, as either em0 or fxp0. You can use the show
interfaces terse | match fxp0 or show interfaces terse | match em0 command to display
management interface information.

To use the management Ethernet interface as a management port, you must configure
its logical port, em0.0 or fxp0.0, with a valid IP address.

For some SRX Series Services Gateways and J Series Services Routers, you can use any
of the built-in Ethernet ports as a management interface. (Platform support depends

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 39

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

on the Junos OS release in your installation.) To use a built-in interface as a management

Ethernet interface, configure it with a valid IP address. To manually configure J-Web
access, include the interface interface-name statement at the [edit system services
web-management http] hierarchy level.

For PTX Series Packet Transport Routers, the Junos OS automatically creates the router’s
management Ethernet interface, em0. To use em0 as an out-of-band management port,
you must configure its logical port (for example, em0.0) with a valid IP address.

Internal Ethernet interfaces are automatically created to connect the Routing Engines
to the Packet Forwarding Engines in the FPCs.

When you enter the show interfaces command on a PTX Series Packet Transport Router,
the management Ethernet interface and internal Ethernet interfaces (and logical
interfaces) are displayed:

user@host> show interfaces ?

...
em0
em0.0
ixgbe0
ixgbe0.0
ixgbe1
ixgbe1.0
...

40 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 5: Configuring Management and Loopback Interfaces

NOTE: Routing Engine upgrade considerations—When upgrading to a Routing

Engine that supports em0 from a Routing Engine that supports fxp0, you
must convert existing management Ethernet interface references in the router
configuration files from fxp0, fxp1, or fxp2 interfaces to em0 interfaces.
Whether you use an automated script or edit the configuration files manually,
you must revise any command lines that reference the fxp0 management
Ethernet interface by replacing “fxp0” with “em0.”

Reusing scripts for standalone T1600 routers on T1600 routers in a routing

matrix—Automated scripts that you have developed for standalone T1600
routers (T1600 routers that are not in a routing matrix) might contain
references to the fxp0 management Ethernet interface. Before reusing the
scripts on T1600 routers in a routing matrix, edit the command lines that
reference the fxp0 management Ethernet interface so that the commands
reference the em0 management Ethernet interface instead.

Restricted load-sharing next hops with fxp0—On M Series Multiservices Edge

Routers and T Series Core Routers running Junos OS later than Release 7.0R2.7
or Release 7.1R2.2, the fxp0 interface does not support load-sharing next
hops. This restriction only affects fxp0 routes.

CoS not supported on fxp0—The fxp0 interface does not support class of
service (CoS).

The Routing Engines in the PTX Series Packet Transport Routers do not
support the management Ethernet interface fxp0, or the internal Ethernet
interfaces fxp1 or fxp2.

Management Interface in a Non-Default Instance

• Why Use a Dedicated Management Interface on page 41

• Configuring the mgmt_junos Routing Instance on page 42

Why Use a Dedicated Management Interface

By default in Junos OS, the management Ethernet interface (usually named fxp0 or em0)
provides the out-of-band management network for the device. There is no clear separation
between either out-of-band management traffic and in-band protocol control traffic, or
user traffic at the routing-instance or routing table level. Instead, all traffic is handled
through the default routing instance, giving rise to concerns over security, performance,
and how to troubleshoot.

Starting with Junos OS Release 17.3R1, you can confine the management interface in a
dedicated management instance. This action ensures that management traffic no longer
has to share a routing table (that is, the default.inet.0 table) with other control or protocol

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 41

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

traffic in the system. Instead, there is a dedicated management instance, known as the
mgmt_junos routing instance, for management traffic.

By default, Junos OS routes authentication, authorization, and accounting packets for

TACACS+ using the default routing instance. Starting in Junos OS Release 17.4R1, existing
TACACS+ behavior is enhanced to support a management interface in a non-default
virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. When the management-instance statement
is configured, TACACS+ packets are routed through the management instance
mgmt_junos.

Configuring the mgmt_junos Routing Instance

Starting in Junos OS 17.3R1, you can confine the management interface in a dedicated
management instance by configuring the management-instance configuration statement
at the [edit system] hierarchy level. The name of the dedicated management instance
is reserved and hardcoded as mgmt_junos; you are prevented from configuring any other
routing instance by the name mgmt_junos. Once the mgmt_junos routing instance is
deployed, management traffic no longer shares a routing table (that is, the default.inet.0
table) with other control or protocol traffic in the system, nor is configuring dynamic
protocols on the management interface supported.

Because there are FreeBSD and Junos OS applications that assume that the management
interface is always present in the default.inet.0 routing table, the mgmt_junos routing
instance is not instantiated by default.

As part of configuring the mgmt_junos routing instance, you must also move static routes
that have a next hop over the default management interface to the mgmt_junos routing
instance. If needed, you must also configure the appropriate daemons or applications
to use the mgmt_junos routing instance. All of these changes must be done in a single
commit. Otherwise, the transition to mgmt_junos will not be smooth and you will have
to repair the system later by logging in from the console.

After you commit the configuration, expect to lose, and then have to reestablish, the
Telnet session.

Starting in Junos OS Release 17.4R1, TACACS+ packets can be sent to the server
successfully even with the management-instance statement configured, provided the
management routing-instance statement is also configured in the tacplus server
configuration statement.

NOTE: If the management routing-instance statement is not configured in

tacplus server statement, even if the management-instance statement is set,
packets will still be sent using the default routing instance only.

For an example of using this feature, see the following sections:

• Determining Static Routes on page 43

• Removing the mgmt_junos Routing Instance on page 45

 Chapter 5: Configuring Management and Loopback Interfaces

Determining Static Routes

As part of configuring the mgmt_junos routing instance, you must move all the static
routes that have a next hop through the fxp0 interface from the default routing instance
to mgmt_junos. The following commands are useful to determine static routes that need
to be changed.

• Use the show interfaces fxp0 command to find the IP address of the fxp0 interface:

user@host> show interfaces fxp0 terse

Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote
fxp0 up up
fxp0.0 up up inet 10.102.183.152/20

• Use the show route forwarding-table command to look at the forwarding table for
next-hop information for static routes (static routes show up as type user):

user@host> show route forwarding-table

Each setup is different. What you are identifying are the static routes that have a next
hop through the fxp0 interface. The next hop for any static route that is affected will
have an IP address that falls under the subnet of the IP address configured for fxp0.

Enabling the mgmt_junos Routing Instance

To enable the mgmt_junos routing instance:

1. Configure the management-instance statement.

[edit]
user@host# set system management-instance

2. Move the appropriate static routes to the mgmt_junos routing instance.

For a discussion of determining static routes to change, see “Determining Static Routes”
on page 43.

[edit routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-option static route]

user@host# set 10.0.0.0/8 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# set s172.16.0.0/12 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# set 192.168.0.0/16 next-hop 10.102.191.254

If you are using configuration groups you might want to set these changes as part of
a group:

[edit groups global routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-options static route ]

user@host# set 10.0.0.0/8 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# set 172.16.0.0/12 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# set 192.168.0.0/16 next-hop 10.102.191.254

3. Commit the configuration.

Expect to lose the Telnet connection at commit.

4. Reestablish the Telnet connection.

At this point you have configured the management-instance statement. Tables for
the mgmt_junos table are set up for inet and inet6 and marked as private tables. The
management interface is moved to the mgmt_junos routing table. Static routes with
a next hop to the management interface are moved from the default routing table
and added to the mgmt_junos routing instance.

However, if you have not configured the management routing-instance option in the
tacplus server statement, the TACACS+ packets continue to be sent using the default
routing instance only.

5. Configure TACACS+ for the mgmt_junos routing instance:

[edit]
user@host# set system tacplus-server server-ip routing-instance routing-instance-name

44 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 5: Configuring Management and Loopback Interfaces

user@host# set system accounting destination tacplus server server-ip routing-instance

routing-instance-name

6. Commit.

Removing the mgmt_junos Routing Instance

When you remove the mgmt_junos routing instance you must also move the static routes
back to the default routing instance and delete the TACACS+ settings for mgmt_junos.

To remove the dedicated management interface:

1. Delete or deactivate the management routing-instance statement.

user@hot# [edit]
user@host# delete system management-instance

2. Move the static routes back to the default routing instance.

[edit routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-options static route ]

user@host# delete 10.0.0.0/8 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# delete 172.16.0.0/12 next-hop 10.102.191.254
user@host# delete 192.168.0.0/16 next-hop 10.102.191.254

3. Delete the TACACS+ settings for the mgmt_junos routing instance.

[edit]
user@host# delete system tacplus-server server-ip routing-instance
routing-instance-name
user@host# delete system accounting destination tacplus server server-ip
routing-instance routing-instance-name

4. Commit.

The mgmt_junos routing table is deleted. The management interface is moved back
to default routing instance. Routes in the mgmt_junos routing table are deleted and
pushed to the default routing table. Once the routes and references in the mgmt_junos
routing table are exhausted, the Kernel will be successful in deleting the mgmt_junos
inet.0/inet6.0 routing tables.

Understanding the Loopback Interface

The loopback address (lo0) has several uses, depending on the particular Junos feature
being configured. It can perform the following functions:

• Device identification—The loopback interface is used to identify the device. While any
interface address can be used to determine if the device is online, the loopback address
is the preferred method. Whereas interfaces might be removed or addresses changed
based on network topology changes, the loopback address never changes.

When you ping an individual interface address, the results do not always indicate the
health of the device. For example, a subnet mismatch in the configuration of two
endpoints on a point-to-point link makes the link appear to be inoperable. Pinging the
interface to determine whether the device is online provides a misleading result. An
interface might be unavailable because of a problem unrelated to the device's
configuration or operation.

• Routing information—The loopback address is used by protocols such as OSPF to

determine protocol-specific properties for the device or network. Further, some
commands such as ping mpls require a loopback address to function correctly.

• Packet filtering—Stateless firewall filters can be applied to the loopback address to

filter packets originating from, or destined for, the Routing Engine.

The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies a loopback network with the (IPv4) address
127.0.0.0/8. Most IP implementations support a loopback interface (lo0) to represent
the loopback facility. Any traffic that a computer program sends on the loopback network
is addressed to the same computer. The most commonly used IP address on the loopback
network is 127.0.0.1 for IPv4 and ::1 for IPv6. The standard domain name for the address
is localhost.

The device also includes an internal loopback address (lo0.16384). The internal loopback
address is a particular instance of the loopback address with the logical unit number
16384. Junos OS creates the loopback interface for the internal routing instance. This
interface prevents any filter on lo0.0 from disrupting internal traffic.

• Understanding the Discard Interface

Configuring a Loopback Interface

The loopback interface supports many different network and operational functions and
is an always-up interface. This means that the loopback interface ensures that the device
is reachable, even if some of the physical interfaces are down or removed, or an IP address
has changed. In most cases, you always define a loopback interface.

Junos OS follows the IP convention of identifying the loopback interface as lo0.

Junos OS requires that the loopback interface always be configured with a /32 network
mask because the Routing Engine is essentially a host.

If you are using routing instances, you can configure the loopback interface for the default
routing instance or for a specific routing instance. The following procedure adds the
loopback interface to the default routing instance.

Optionally, instead of configuring the loopback interface at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy
level, you can use a configuration group, as shown in this procedure. This is a
recommended best practice for configuring the loopback interface. This procedure uses
a group called global as an example.

To configure a loopback interface:

1. Using the host IP address, assign it to the loopback interface.

Each host in your network deployment should have a unique loopback interface
address. The address used here is only an example.

[edit groups global interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet]

user@host# set address 192.0.2.27/32

2. (Optional) Set the preferred IP address.

You can configure as many addresses as you need on the lo0 interface, so it is good
practice to designate one preferred IP address.

[edit groups global interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet]

user@host# set address 192.0.2.48/32 preferred

3. (Optional) Configure additional addresses.

Only unit 0 is permitted as the master loopback interface. If you want to add more IP
addresses to unit 0, you configure them in the normal way under unit 0, without the
preferred option.

[edit groups global interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet]

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 47

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

user@host# set address 198.51.100.48/32

user@host# set address 192.168.11.27

NOTE: You do not have to include the /32 as long as the IPv4 address is
a valid host address. (This usually means that the last octet cannot be
zero.)

4. Configure the localhost address.

On the lo0.0 interface, it is useful to have the IP address 127.0.0.1 configured, as certain
processes such as NTP and MPLS ping use this default host address. The 127.0.0.1/32
address is a Martian IP address (an address invalid for routing), so it is never advertised
by the Juniper Networks device.

[edit groups global interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet]

user@host# set address 127.0.0.1/32

5. (Optional) Configure an ISO address.

Depending on your network configuration, you might also need an ISO address for the
IS-IS routing protocol.

[edit groups global interfaces lo0 unit 0 family iso]

user@host# address 49.0026.0000.0000.0110.00

6. If you used a configuration group, apply the configuration group, substituting global
with the appropriate group name.

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups global

7. Commit the configuration.

• Enabling Remote Access on page 53

Understanding User Accounts

User accounts provide one way for users to access the device. Users can access the
device without accounts if you configured RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. After you have
created an account, the device creates a home directory for the user. An account for the
user root is always present in the configuration. For each user account, you can define
the following:

• Username—Name that identifies the user. It must be unique within the device. Do not
include spaces, colons, or commas in the username.

• User's full name—If the full name contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks (“ ”).
Do not include colons or commas.

• User identifier (UID)—Numeric identifier that is associated with the user account name.
The identifier range from 100 through 64,000 and must be unique within the device.
If you do not assign a UID to a username, the software assigns one when you commit
the configuration, preferring the lowest available number.

• User's access privilege—You can create login classes with specific permission bits or
use one of the predefined classes.

• Authentication method or methods and passwords that the user can use to access
the device—You can use SSH or an MD5 password, or you can enter a plain-text
password that Junos OS encrypts using MD5-style encryption before entering it in the
password database. If you configure the plain-text-password option, you are prompted
to enter and confirm the password.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Configuring Junos OS User Accounts by Using a Configuration Group

User accounts provide a way for users to access a router or switch. Junos OS requires
that all users have a predefined user account before they can log in to the device. For
each user account, you define the login name for the user and, optionally, information
that identifies the user. After you have created an account, the software creates a home
directory for the user.

It is a common practice to use remote authentication servers to centrally store information

about users. Even so, it is also a good practice to configure at least one nonroot user
directly on each device, in case access to the remote authentication server is disrupted.
This one nonroot user commonly has a generic name, such as admin.

Because user accounts are configured on multiple devices, they are commonly configured
inside of a configuration group. As such, the examples shown here are in a configuration
group called global. Using a configuration group for your user accounts is optional.

To create a user account:

1. Add a new user, using the user’s assigned account login name.

[edit groups global]

user@host# edit system login user username

2. (Optional) Configure a full descriptive name for the account.

If the full name includes spaces, enclose the entire name in quotation marks.

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set full-name complete-name

For example:

user@host# show groups

global {
system {
login {
user admin {
full-name "general administrator";
}
}
}
}

3. (Optional) Set the user identifier (UID) for the account.

As with UNIX systems, the UID enforces user permissions and file access. If you do
not set the UID, Junos OS assigns one for you. The format of the UID is a number in
the range of 100 to 64000.

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set uid uid-value

50 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 6: Configuring User Accounts

For example:

user@host# show groups

global {
system {
login {
user admin {
uid 9999;
}
}
}
}

4. Assign the user to a login class.

You can define your own login classes or assign one of the predefined Junos OS login
classes.

The predefined login classes are as follows:

• super-user—all permissions

• operator—clear, network, reset, trace, and view permissions

• read-only— view permissions

• unauthorized—no permissions

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set class class-name

For example:

user@host# show groups

global {
system {
login {
user admin {
class super-user;
}
}
}
}

5. Use one of the following methods to configure the user password.

• To enter a clear-text password that the system encrypts for you, use the following
command to set the user password:

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set authentication plain-text-password password
New Password: type password here
Retype new password: retype password here

As you enter the password in plain text, Junos OS encrypts it immediately. You do
not have to configure Junos OS to encrypt the password as in some other systems.

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 51

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Plain-text passwords are therefore hidden and marked as ## SECRET-DATA in the

configuration.

• To enter a password that is already encrypted, use the following command to set
the user password:

CAUTION: Do not use the encrypted-password option unless the

password is already encrypted, and you are entering the encrypted
version of the password.

If you accidentally configure the encrypted-password option with a

plain-text password or with blank quotation marks (" "), you will not be
able to log in to the device as this user.

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set authentication encrypted-password "password"
New Password: type password here
Retype new password: retype password here

• To load previously generated public keys from a named file at a specified URL
location, use the following command to set the user password:

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set authentication load-key-file URL filename

• To enter an ssh public string, use the following command to set the user password:

[edit groups global system login user user-name]

user@host# set authentication (ssh-dsa | ssh-ecdsa | ssh-rsa) authorized-key

6. At the top level of the configuration, apply the configuration group.

If you use a configuration group, you must apply it for it to take effect.

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups global

7. Commit the configuration.

user@host# commit

8. To verify the configuration, log out and log back in as the new user.

 Chapter 6: Configuring User Accounts

Enabling Remote Access

SSH, telnet, and FTP are widely used standards for remotely logging into network devices,
and exchanging files between systems. Before authorized users can access your device,
or your device can exchange data with other systems, you must configure one or more
of these enabling services. They are all disabled by default in Junos OS.

SSH is a protocol that uses strong authentication and encryption for remote access
across a nonsecure network. SSH provides remote login, remote program execution, file
copy, and other functions. SSH is telnet’s successor and is the recommended method
for remote access. SSH encrypts all traffic, including passwords, to effectively eliminate
eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. The SSH utility includes SCP
(secure copy), a file transfer program that uses SSH and is the recommended method
for secure file exchange.

Because both telnet and FTP are legacy applications that use clear text passwords
(therefore creating a potential security vulnerability), we recommend that you use SSH
(and SCP). If you do not intend to use FTP or telnet, you do not need to configure them
on your device. However, do not forget to consider that some users might use FTP to
store configuration templates, retrieve software, or other administrative tasks.

To set up remote access and file transfer services:

1. Enable SSH access.

[edit groups global]

user@host# set system services ssh

2. Enable telnet access.

[edit groups global]

user@host# set system services telnet

3. Enable FTP.

[edit groups global]

user@host# set system services ftp

4. At the top level of the configuration, apply the configuration group.

If you use a configuration group, you must apply it for it to take effect.

Configuring Backup Routers

• Understanding Backup Routers on page 55

• Configuring a Backup Router on page 56

Understanding Backup Routers

If Junos OS is running on a routing device, you might want to specify a backup router. The
purpose of the backup router is not to forward transit traffic. It is for local management
of the routing device, by way of the out-of-band management interface (fxp0 or me0,
for example). Traffic is not forwarded between the Packet Forwarding Engine and the
management interface. You cannot route traffic between the management interface
and the physical interfaces in the chassis.

The Junos OS process responsible for establishing routes is known as the routing protocol
process (rpd). The backup router allows the routing device to install a route to a
management network, before the routing protocol process is up and running. A backup
router can be used during the initial boot process of Junos OS, before any routing protocols
have converged. It allows the device to establish a Layer 3 connection quickly, thus
keeping management unavailability to a minimum. In selecting a backup router, it is
common practice to choose the default gateway of the management network that is
directly connected to your routing device.

It is important to make sure that the specified backup router address is reachable and
directly connected. The backup router address should be an address that is directly
connected to the management interface.

NOTE: Router A can be the backup router for Router B, and Router B can be
the backup router for Router A if the management interface of each router
is connected to an interface on the other router, thus providing the necessary
reachability.

When the routing protocol process starts, the backup route (the route created by the
backup router) is removed, and any default, static, or protocol-learned routes are installed.

If the routing device has a backup Routing Engine (usually RE1), the backup router remains
active, unless nonstop active routing is configured.

Configuring a Backup Router

The backup router allows the routing device to install a route to the management network,
before the routing protocol process (rpd) is up and running. This allows the device to
establish a Layer 3 connection quickly, thus keeping management unavailability to a
minimum.

When a routing device is booting, the routing protocol process is not running. Therefore,
the router or switch has no routes. To ensure that the router or switch is reachable for
management purposes while it boots or if the routing protocol process fails to start
properly, configure a backup router, which is a router that is directly connected to the
local router or switch (that is, on the same subnet) through its private management
interface (for example, fxp0 or me0).

To achieve network reachability while loading, configuring, and recovering the router or
switch, but without installing a default route in the forwarding table, include the destination
option, specifying an address that is reachable through the backup router. Specify the
address in the format network/mask-length.

Any destinations defined by the backup router are not visible in the routing table. They
are only visible in the local forwarding table when the routing protocol process is not
running. Therefore, a recommended best practice is to also include the destinations of
the backup router configured as static routes with the retain option. The retain option is
necessary to allow the static route to remain in the forwarding table when the routing
protocol process stops running, because the routing table does not exist if the routing
protocol process is not running.

On systems with dual redundant Routing Engines, the backup Routing Engine's reachability
through the private management interface is based only on the functionality of the
backup-router configuration. It is not based on whether the routing protocol process is
running. On both Routing Engines, the backup-router statement adds the destination
prefix upon bootup. On the master Routing Engine, a static route requires the routing
protocol process to be running first before installing the destination prefix to the routing
and forwarding tables.

Due to a system limitation, do not configure the destination address specified in the
backup-router as 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0. The mask has to be a nonzero value.

Active routes and more specific routes take precedence over destination prefixes defined
with the backup-router statement.

If you have a backup router configuration in which multiple static routes point to a gateway
from the management Ethernet interface, you must configure prefixes that are more
specific than the static routes or include the retain option at the [edit routing-options
static route] hierarchy level.

56 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 7: Configuring Backup Routers

For example, if you configure the static route 172.16.0.0/12 from the management Ethernet
interface for management purposes, you must specify the backup router configuration
as follows:

backup-router 172.29.201.62 destination [172.16.0.0/13 172.16.128.0/13]

Configuring a Backup Router Running IPv4

In the example shown in Figure 2 on page 57, the backup router is the default gateway
of the management network.

As required, the backup router address is reachable and directly connected to the
management interfaces on the two routing devices (fxp0 and me0).

Figure 2: Backup Router Sample Topology

Optionally, instead of configuring the backup router at the [edit system] hierarchy level,
you can use a configuration group, as shown in this procedure. This is a recommended
best practice for configuring the backup router, especially if the device has dual Routing
Engines. This procedure uses groups called re0 and re1 as an example.

To configure a backup router running IPv4:

1. Include the backup-router statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level.

[edit groups group-name system]

backup-router address <destination destination-address>;

For example:

[edit groups re0 system]

backup-router 192.168.1.254 destination 172.16.1.0/24;

[edit groups re1 system]

backup-router 192.168.1.254 destination 172.16.1.0/24;

2. (Optional) Configure a static route to the management network.

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 57

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Junos OS only uses the backup router during the boot sequence. If you want to
configure a backup router for use after startup, you can set up a static route. The static
route goes into effect when the routing protocol process is running.

routing-options {
static {
route 172.16.1.0/24 {
next-hop 192.168.1.254;
retain;
}
}
}

3. If you used one or more configuration groups, apply the configuration groups,
substituting the appropriate group names.

For example:

[edit]
user@host# set apply-groups [re0 re1]

4. Commit the changes:

[edit]
root@# commit

Configuring a Backup Router Running IPv6

To configure a backup router running IPv6:

1. Include the inet6-backup-router statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level.

[edit groups group-name system]

inet6-backup-router address <destination destination-address>;

For example:

[edit groups re0 system]

inet6-backup-router 8:3::1 destination abcd::/48;

[edit groups re1 system]

inet6-backup-router 8:3::1 destination abcd::/48;

2. (Optional) Configure a static route to the management network.

Junos OS only uses the backup router during the boot sequence. If you want to
configure a backup router for use after startup, you can set up a static route. The static
route goes into effect when the routing protocol process is running.

routing-options {
rib inet6.0 {
static {
route abcd::/48 {
next-hop 8:3::1;
retain;
}

configuration files to the first archive site in the list, moving to the next only if the transfer
fails.

The destination filename is saved in the following format, where n corresponds to the
number of the compressed configuration rollback file that has been archived:

router-name_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_juniper.conf.n.gz

NOTE: The time included in the destination filename is always in Coordinated

Universal Time (UTC) regardless of whether the time on the router or switch
is configured as UTC or the local time zone. The default time zone on the
router or switch is UTC.

NOTE: The [edit system archival] hierarchy is not available on QFabric

fast-synchronize

Syntax fast-synchronize;

Hierarchy Level [edit system commit]

Release Information Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2.

Description Configure commits to run in parallel (simultaneously) on both the master and backup
Routing Engines to reduce the time required for commit synchronization. The
fast-synchronize configuration is valid only on systems with two Routing Engines.

NOTE:
• When the fast-synchronize statement is configured, the commits on the
master Routing Engine and the backup Routing Engine run in parallel. In
this process, the configuration is validated only on the Routing Engine where
you execute the commit command. Therefore, it is recommended not to
include too many configuration details in groups like re0 and re1, because
the configuration specified in group re0 is applied only if the current Routing
Engine is in slot 0. Likewise, the configuration specified in group re1 is applied
only if the current Routing Engine is in slot 1.

• Ensure that the Junos OS software version running on both the Routing
Engines is same.

synchronize

Syntax synchronize;

Hierarchy Level [edit system commit]

Release Information Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 10.4 for EX Series switches.

Description For devices with multiple Routing Engines only. Configure the commit command to
automatically perform a commit synchronize action between dual Routing Engines within
the same chassis. The Routing Engine on which you execute the commit command (the
requesting Routing Engine) copies and loads its candidate configuration to the other
(the responding) Routing Engine. Each Routing Engine then performs a syntax check on
the candidate configuration file being committed. If no errors are found, the configuration
is activated and becomes the current operational configuration on both Routing Engines.

NOTE: If you configure the commit synchronize statement at the [edit system]
hierarchy level and issue a commit in the master Routing Engine, the master
configuration is automatically synchronized with the backup. However, if the
backup Routing Engine is down when you issue the commit, the Junos OS
displays a warning and commits the candidate configuration in the master
Routing Engine. When the backup Routing Engine comes up, its configuration
will automatically be synchronized with the master. A newly inserted backup
Routing Engine automatically synchronizes its configuration with the master
Routing Engine configuration.

NOTE: When you configure nonstop active routing (NSR), you must configure
the commit synchronize statement. Otherwise, the commit operation fails.

On the TX Matrix router, synchronization only occurs between the Routing Engines within
the same chassis. When synchronization is complete, the new configuration is then
distributed to the Routing Engines on the T640 routers. That is, the master Routing Engine
on the TX Matrix router distributes the configuration to the master Routing Engine on
each T640 router. Likewise, the backup Routing Engine on the TX Matrix router distributes
the configuration to the backup Routing Engine on each T640 router.

On the TX Matrix Plus router, synchronization only occurs between the Routing Engines
within the switch-fabric chassis and when synchronization is complete, the new
configuration is then distributed to the Routing Engines on the line-card chassis (LCC).
That is, the master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router distributes the
configuration to the master Routing Engine on each LCC. Likewise, the backup Routing

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 69

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Engine on the TX Matrix Plus router distributes the configuration to the backup Routing
Engine on each LCC.

In EX Series Virtual Chassis configurations:

• On EX4200 switches in Virtual Chassis, synchronization occurs between the switch in

the master role and the switch in the backup role.

• On EX8200 switches in a Virtual Chassis, synchronization occurs only between the

master and backup XRE200 External Routing Engines.

Options and-quit—(Optional) Quit configuration mode if the commit synchronization succeeds.

at—(Optional) Time at which to activate configuration changes.

comment—(Optional) Write a message to the commit log.

force—(Optional) Force a commit synchronization on the other Routing Engine (ignore

warnings).

compress-configuration-files (System)

Syntax (compress-configuration-files | no-compress-configuration-files);

Hierarchy Level [edit system]

Release Information Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description Compress the current operational configuration file. By default, the current operational
configuration file is compressed, and is stored in the file juniper.conf, in the /config file
system, along with the last three committed versions of the configuration. However, with
large networks, the current configuration file might exceed the available space in the
/config file system. Compressing the current configuration file allows the file to fit in the
file system, typically reducing the size of the file by 90 percent. The current configuration
file is compressed on the second commit of the configuration after the first commit is
made to include the compress-configuration-files statement.

NOTE: We recommend that you enable compression of the router

configuration files to minimize the amount of disk space that they require.

Default The current operational configuration file is uncompressed.

Release Information Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description Configure the medium used for storing memory snapshots of system failure. When you
specify the storage and an operating system fails, the operating system writes a snapshot
of the state of the router when it failed to the storage medium. When the operating
system is rebooted, the storage device is checked for a snapshot. If found, the snapshot
of memory is written to the /var/crash directory on the router and can be examined by
Juniper Networks customer support to help determine the cause of failure.

If the swap partition on the device medium is not large enough for the system memory
snapshot, the snapshot is not successfully written to the directory. Use the request system

Hierarchy Level [edit system]

Release Information Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description Configure the authentication methods for the root-level user, whose username is root.

You can use the load-key-file URL:filename statement to laod an SSH key file that was
previously generated using ssh-keygen.

Optionally, you can use the ssh-dsa, ssh-ecdsa, or ssh-rsa statements to directly configure
SSH RSA, DSA, or ECDSA keys to authenticate root logins. You can configure more than
one public key for SSH authentication of root logins as well as for user accounts. When
a user logs in as root, the public keys are referenced to determine whether the private
key matches any of them.

To view the SSH keys entries, use the configuration mode show command. For example:

[edit system]
user@host# set root-authentication load-key-file my-host:.ssh/id_dsa.pub
.file.19692 | 0 KB | 0.3 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%

Hierarchy Level [edit system]

Release Information Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description (Optional) Statically map a hostname to one or more IP addresses and aliases, and
configure an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) system identifier
(system ID).

Default If you do not statically map the hostname, the mapping is generated dynamically, based
on the system configuration. For instance, if you omit the static-host-mapping hostname
sysid statement, the IS-IS system ID is dynamically generated from the host portion of
the ISO address configured on the loopback interface (lo0) and is mapped to the
host-name statement configured at the [edit system] hierarchy level.

Options alias alias—Alias for the hostname.

hostname—Fully qualified hostname.

inet address—IP address. You can specify one or more IP addresses for the host.

inet6 address—IP address. You can specify one or more IPv6 addresses for the host.

sysid system-identifier—ISO system identifier (system ID). This is the 6-byte portion of
the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) network service access
point (NSAP). We recommend that you use the host’s IP address represented in
binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. For example, the IP address 208.197.169.18 is
2081.9716.9018 in BCD.

file copy

Syntax file copy source destination

<source-address address>
<staging-directory directory location>

Release Information Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

source-address option added in Junos OS Release 7.4.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for QFX Series switches.
staging-directory option added in Junos OS Release 17.3DCB.

Description Copy files from one location to another location on the local device or to a location on a
remote device reachable by the local device.

For information on valid filename and URL formats, see Format for Specifying Filenames
and URLs in Junos OS CLI Commands.

WARNING: Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1, the sslv3-support option is

not available for configuration with the set system services xnm-ssl and file
copy commands. SSLv3 is no longer supported and available.

For all releases prior to and including Junos OS Release 14.2, SSLv3 is disabled
by default at runtime. The sslv3-support option is hidden and deprecated in
Junos OS Release 14.2 and earlier releases. However, you can use the set
system services xnm-ssl sslv3-support command to enable SSLv3 for a Junos
XML protocol client application to use as the protocol to connect to the Junos
XML protocol server on a router, and you can use the file copy source
destination sslv3-support command to enable the copying of files from an
SSLv3 URL.

Using SSLv3 presents a potential security vulnerability, and we recommend

that you not use SSLv3. For more details about this security vulnerability, go
to http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=JSA10656.

NOTE: If you define an ordered set of ciphers, key exhange methods, or

message authentication codes (MACs) at the [edit system services ssh]
hierarchy level, the newly-defined set is used when copying files using secure
copy protocol (scp). For more information, see Configuring the SSH Service
to Support Legacy Cryptography.

2198 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (2.69 MBps)

Copy a File Using File Transfer Protocol and Requiring a Password

To use FTP where you require more privacy and are prompted for a password, enter the
following command:

root@host> file copy filename ftp://user@hostname/filename

In the following example, /config/juniper.conf is the local file and hostname is the FTP
server:

root@host> file copy /config/juniper.conf ftp://user@hostname/juniper.conf

Receiving ftp: //user@hostname/juniper.conf (2198 bytes): 100%
2198 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (2.69 MBps)

Copy a File Using Secure Copy Protocol (scp)

To use scp to copy a local file to a remote system, enter the following command:

root@host> file copy filename scp://user@hostname/path/filename

In the following example, /config/juniper.conf is the local file, user is the username, and
ssh-host is the scp server:

Release Information Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description Enter configuration mode. When this command is entered without any optional keywords,
everyone can make configuration changes and commit all changes made to the
configuration.

Options none—Enter configuration mode.

batch—(Optional) Work in the batch commit mode where commit operations are
executed in batches.

dynamic—(Optional) Configure routing policies and certain routing policy objects in a

dynamic database that is not subject to the same verification required in the standard
configuration database. As a result, the time it takes to commit changes to the
dynamic database is much shorter than for the standard configuration database.
You can then reference these policies and policy objects in routing policies you
configure in the standard database.

exclusive—(Optional) Lock the candidate configuration for as long as you remain in

configuration mode, allowing you to make changes without interference from other
users. Other users can enter and exit configuration mode, but they cannot change
the configuration.

private—(Optional) Allow multiple users to edit different parts of the configuration at

the same time and to commit only their own changes, or to roll back without
interfering with one another's changes. You cannot commit changes in configure
private mode when another user is in configure exclusive mode.

Additional Information For more information about the different methods of entering configuration mode and
the restrictions that apply, see the Junos OS Administration Library.

 Chapter 10: System Software Administrative Commands

NOTE: When you issue this command on an individual component—for

example, a Node device—in a QFabric system, you will receive a warning that
says “Hardware-based members will halt, Virtual Junos Routing Engines will
reboot.” If you want to halt only one member of a Node group, issue this
command with the member option on the Node device CLI, because you
cannot issue this command from the QFabric CLI. Also, issuing this command
might cause traffic loss on an individual component.

When you issue this command on a QFX5100 switch, you are not prompted
to reboot. You must power cycle the switch to reboot.

NOTE: For the routers with the Routing Engines RE-S-2x00x6,

RE-PTX-2x00x8, and RE-S-2x00x8, this command is deprecated and might
be removed completely in a future release.

On these routers, this command is replaced with the request vmhost halt
command which provides similar functionality.

Options none—Stop the router or switch software immediately.

all-chassis—(TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Halt all chassis.

all-lcc—(TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX Matrix router,
halt all T640 routers (or line-card chassis) connected to the TX Matrix router. On a
TX Matrix Plus router, halt all T1600 routers (or line-card chassis) connected to the
TX Matrix Plus router.

all-members—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Halt all

members of the Virtual Chassis configuration.

at time —(Optional) Time at which to stop the software, specified in one of the following
ways:

• now—Stop the software immediately. This is the default.

• +minutes—Number of minutes from now to stop the software.

• yymmddhhmm—Absolute time at which to stop the software, specified as year,

month, day, hour, and minute.

• hh:mm—Absolute time on the current day at which to stop the software.

backup-routing-engine—(Optional) Halt the backup Routing Engine. This command

halts the backup Routing Engine, regardless from which Routing Engine the command
is executed. For example, if you issue the command from the master Routing Engine,

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 137

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

the backup Routing Engine is halted. If you issue the command from the backup
Routing Engine, the backup Routing Engine is halted.

both-routing-engines—(Optional) Halt both Routing Engines at the same time.

director-device director-device-id—(QFabric systems only) Halt a specific Director device.

lcc number—(TX Matrix routers and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX
Matrix router, halt a specific T640 router that is connected to the TX Matrix router.
On a TX Matrix Plus router, halt a specific router that is connected to the TX Matrix
Plus router.

Replace number with the following values depending on the LCC configuration:

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

local—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Halt the local Virtual
Chassis member.

in minutes—(Optional) Number of minutes from now to stop the software. This option
is an alias for the at +minutes option.

media (compact-flash | disk)—(Optional) Boot medium for the next boot.

media (external | internal)—(EX Series and QFX Series switches and MX Series routers
only) (Optional) Halt the boot media:

• external—Halt the external mass storage device.

• internal—Halt the internal flash device.

member member-id—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Halt

the specified member of the Virtual Chassis configuration. For EX4200 switches,
replace member-id with a value from 0 through 9. For an MX Series Virtual Chassis,
replace member-id with a value of 0 or 1.

message "text"—(Optional) Message to display to all system users before stopping the
software.

other-routing-engine—(Optional) Halt the other Routing Engine from which the command
is issued. For example, if you issue the command from the master Routing Engine,
the backup Routing Engine is halted. Similarly, if you issue the command from the
backup Routing Engine, the master Routing Engine is halted.

138 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 10: System Software Administrative Commands

scc—(TX Matrix routers only) (Optional) Halt the TX Matrix router (or switch-card
chassis).

sfc number—(TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Halt the TX Matrix Plus router (or
switch-fabric chassis). Replace number with 0.

boot media. This option has the following suboptions:

• 1—Halt partition 1.

• 2—Halt partition 2.

• alternate—Reboot from the alternate partition.

Additional Information On the M7i router, the request system halt command does not immediately power down
the Packet Forwarding Engine. The power-down process can take as long as 5 minutes.

On a TX Matrix router and TX Matrix Plus router if you issue the request system halt
command on the master Routing Engine, all the master Routing Engines connected to
the routing matrix are halted. If you issue this command on the backup Routing Engine,
all the backup Routing Engines connected to the routing matrix are halted.

NOTE: If you have a router or switch with two Routing Engines and you want
to shut the power off to the router or switch or remove a Routing Engine, you
must first halt the backup Routing Engine (if it has been upgraded), and then
halt the master Routing Engine. To halt a Routing Engine, issue the request
system halt command. You can also halt both Routing Engines at the same
time by issuing the request system halt both-routing-engines command.

Description • On the router, back up the currently running and active file system partitions to standby
partitions that are not running. Specifically, the root file system (/) is backed up to
/altroot, and /config is backed up to /altconfig. The root and /config file systems are
on the router's flash drive, and the /altroot and /altconfig file systems are on the router's
hard drive.

• On the switch, take a snapshot of the files currently used to run the switch—the
complete contents of the root (/) , /altroot, /config, /var, and /var-tmp directories,
which include the running Junos OS, the active configuration, and log files.

CAUTION: After you run the request system snapshot command, you cannot
return to the previous version of the software, because the running and backup
copies of the software are identical.

NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F3, the statement request system
snapshot creates a snapshot of the guest OS image only for the PTX5000
with RE-DUO-C2600-16G, and the MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers with
RE-S-1800X4-32G-S.

Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F5, the statement request system snapshot
creates a snapshot of the guest OS image only for the MX2010 and MX2020
routers with REMX2K-1800-32G-S.

On these routers, in order to create snapshot of the host OS image along with
Junos OS image, use the request vmhost snapshot command.

Options The specific options available depend upon the router or switch:

none—Back up the currently running software as follows:

• On the router, back up the currently running and active file system partitions to
standby partitions that are not running. Specifically, the root file system (/) is
backed up to /altroot, and /config is backed up to /altconfig. The root and /config

file systems are on the router's flash drive, and the /altroot and /altconfig file
systems are on the router's hard drive.

• On the switch, take a snapshot of the files currently used to run the switch and
copy them to the media that the switch did not boot from. If the switch is booted
from internal media, the snapshot is copied to external (USB) media. If the switch
is booted from external (USB) media, the snapshot is copied to internal media.

• If the snapshot destination is external media but a USB flash drive is not
connected, an error message is displayed.

• If the automatic snapshot procedure is already in progress, the command returns

the following error: Snapshot already in progress. Cannot start manual snapshot.
For additional information about the automatic snapshot feature, see
Understanding Resilient Dual-Root Partitions on Switches.

 Chapter 10: System Software Administrative Commands

For information on valid filename and URL formats, see Format for Specifying Filenames
and URLs in Junos OS CLI Commands.

CAUTION: Any configuration changes performed after inputting the request

system software add command will be lost when the system reboots with an
upgraded version of Junos OS.

NOTE: Starting from Junos OS Release 17.2R1, PTX10008 routers do not

support the request system software add command. Starting from Junos OS
Release 17.4R1, PTX10016 routers do not support the request system software
add command. Use the request vmhost software add command instead of
the request system software add command on the PTX10008 and PTX10016
routers to install or upgrade the Junos OS software package or bundle on the
router. See request vmhost software add.

NOTE: When graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is enabled on a

device, you must perform a unified ISSU operation to update the software
running on the device. With GRES enabled, if you attempt to perform a
software upgrade by entering the request system software add package-name
command, an error message is displayed stating that only
in-service-software-upgrades are supported when GRES is configured. In
such a case, you must either remove the GRES configuration before you
attempt the upgrade or perform a unified ISSU.

NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F3, the statement request system
software add installs a software package for the guest OS only for the
PTX5000 router with RE-DUO-C2600-16G, and for MX240, MX480, and
MX960 routers with RE-S-1800X4-32G-S.

Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F5, the statement request system software
add installs a software package for the guest OS only for the MX2010 and
MX2020 routers with REMX2K-1800-32G-S.

On these routers, in order to install both Junos software and host software
packages, use the request vmhost software add command.

Options package-name—Location from which the software package or bundle is to be installed.

For example:

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 173

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

• /var/tmp/package-name—For a software package or bundle that is being installed

from a local directory on the router or switch.

• protocol://hostname/pathname/package-name—For a software package or bundle

that is to be downloaded and installed from a remote location. Replace protocol
with one of the following:

• ftp—File Transfer Protocol.

Use ftp://hostname/pathname/package-name. To specify authentication
credentials, use
ftp://<username>:<password>@hostname/pathname/package-name. To have
the system prompt you for the password, specify prompt in place of the
password. If a password is required, and you do not specify the password or
prompt, an error message is displayed.

• http—Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

Use http://hostname/pathname/package-name. To specify authentication
credentials, use
http://<username>:<password>@hostname/pathname/package-name. If a
password is required and you omit it, you are prompted for it.

• scp—Secure copy (not available for limited editions).

Use scp://hostname/pathname/package-name. To specify authentication
credentials, use
scp://<username>:<password>@hostname/pathname/package-name.

NOTE:
• The pathname in the protocol is the relative path to the user’s home
directory on the remote system and not the root directory.

• Do not use the scp protocol in the request system software add
command to download and install a software package or bundle from
a remote location. The previous statement does not apply to the
QFabric switch. The software upgrade is handled by the management
process (mgd), which does not support scp.
Use the file copy command to copy the software package or bundle
from the remote location to the /var/tmp directory on the hard disk:
file copy scp://source/package-name /var/tmp
Then install the software package or bundle using the request system
software add command:
request system software add /var/tmp/package-name

best-effort-load—(Optional) Activate a partial load and treat parsing errors as warnings

instead of errors.

component all—(QFabric systems only) (Optional) Install software package on all of

the QFabric components.

174 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 10: System Software Administrative Commands

delay-restart—(Optional) Install a software package or bundle, but do not restart

software processes.

device-alias alias-name—(Junos Fusion only) (Optional) Install the satellite software

package onto the specified satellite device using the satellite device’s alias name.

router that is connected to the TX Matrix router. In a routing matrix based on the TX
Matrix Plus router, install a software package or bundle on a router that is connected
to the TX Matrix Plus router.

Replace number with the following values depending on the LCC configuration:

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

member member-id—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Install a software package on

the specified Virtual Chassis member. Replace member-id with a value of 0 or 1.

partition —(QFX3500 switches only) (Optional) Format and repartition the media before
installation.

release, suppress the default behavior of the validate option.

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 175

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

NOTE: Software packages from unidentified providers cannot be loaded.

To authorize providers, include the provider-id statement at the [edit
system extensions provider] hierarchy level.

re0 | re1—(Optional) On routers or switches that support dual or redundant Routing

Engines, load a software package or bundle on the Routing Engine in slot 0 (re0) or
the Routing Engine in slot 1 (re1).

reboot—(Optional) After adding the software package or bundle, reboot the system. On
a QFabric switch, the software installation is not complete until you reboot the
component for which you have installed the software.

set [package-name1 package-name2]—(Mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis,

M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers only) (Optional) Install multiple packages
at same time:

• In the case of mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis, install two software
packages—a package for an EX4200 switch and the same release of the package
for an EX4500 switch—to upgrade all member switches in a mixed EX4200 and
EX4500 Virtual Chassis.

• In the case of M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers, install multiple (two or
more) software packages and software add-on packages at the same time. The
variable package-name can either be a list of installation packages, each separated
by a blank space, or the full URL to the directory or tar file containing the list of
installation packages.

In each case, installation-package can either be a list of installation packages, each

separated by a blank space, or the full URL to the directory or tar file containing the
list of installation packages.

Use the request system software add set command to retain any SDK configuration
by installing the SDK add-on packages along with the core Junos OS installation
package.

unlink—(Optional) On M Series, T Series, and MX Series routers, use the unlink option to
remove the software package from this directory after a successful upgrade is
completed.

upgrade-group [ all |upgrade-group-name]—(Junos Fusion only) (Required to configure

a Junos Fusion using autoconversion or manual conversion) Associate a satellite
software image with a satellite software upgrade group. The satellite software
package is associated with the specified satellite software upgrade group using the
upgrade-group-name, or for all satellite software upgrade groups in a Junos Fusion
when the all keyword is specified.

176 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 10: System Software Administrative Commands

A satellite software upgrade group is a group of satellite devices in a Junos Fusion

that are designated to upgrade to the same satellite software version using the same
satellite software package. See Understanding Software in a Junos Fusion Provider
Edge, Understanding Software in a Junos Fusion Enterprise, and Managing Satellite
Software Upgrade Groups in a Junos Fusion.

upgrade-with-config—(Optional) Install one or more configuration files.

NOTE: Configuration files specified with this option must have the
extension .text or .xml and have the extension specified. Using the
extension .txt will not work.

validate—(Optional) Validate the software package or bundle against the current

configuration as a prerequisite to adding the software package or bundle. This is the
default behavior when the software package or bundle being added is a different
release.

NOTE: The validate option only works on systems that do not have
graceful-switchover (GRES) enabled. To use the validate option on a
system with GRES, either disable GRES for the duration of the installation,
or install using the command request system software in-service-upgrade,
which requires nonstop active routing (NSR) to be enabled when using
GRES.

validate-on-host hostname—(Optional) Validate the software package by comparing

it to the running configuration on a remote Junos OS host. Specify a host, replacing
hostname with the remote hostname. You can optionally provide the username that
will be used to log in to the remote host by specifying the hostname in the format
user@hostname.

validate-on-routing-engine routing-engine—(Optional) Validate the software bundle

or package by comparing it to the running configuration on a Junos OS Routing Engine
on the same chassis. Specify a Routing Engine, replacing routing-engine with the
routing engine name.

Additional Information Before upgrading the software on the router or switch, when you have a known stable
system, issue the request system snapshot command to back up the software, including
the configuration, to the /altroot and /altconfig file systems. After you have upgraded
the software on the router or switch and are satisfied that the new package or bundle is
successfully installed and running, issue the request system snapshot command again
to back up the new software to the /altroot and /altconfig file systems.

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 177

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

NOTE: The request system snapshot command is currently not supported on

the QFabric system. Also, you cannot add or install multiple packages on a
QFabric system.

After you run the request system snapshot command, you cannot return to the previous
version of the software because the running and backup copies of the software are
identical.

If you are upgrading more than one package at the same time, delete the operating
system package, jkernel, last. Add the operating system package, jkernel, first and the
routing software package, jroute, last. If you are upgrading all packages at once, delete
and add them in the following order:

user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jbase

user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jkernel
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jpfe
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jdocs
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jroute
user@host> request system software add /var/tmp/jcrypto

By default, when you issue the request system software add package-name command on
a TX Matrix master Routing Engine, all the T640 master Routing Engines that are
connected to it are upgraded to the same version of software. If you issue the same
command on the TX Matrix backup Routing Engine, all the T640 backup Routing Engines
that are connected to it are upgraded to the same version of software.

Likewise, when you issue the request system software add package-name command on
a TX Matrix Plus master Routing Engine, all the T1600 or T4000 master Routing Engines
that are connected to it are upgraded to the same version of software. If you issue the
same command on the TX Matrix Plus backup Routing Engine, all the T1600 or T4000
backup Routing Engines that are connected to it are upgraded to the same version of
software.

Syntax request system zeroize

<media>
<local>

Release Information Command introduced before Junos OS Release 9.0.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 11.2 for EX Series switches.
Option media added in Junos OS Release 11.4 for EX Series switches.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for MX Series routers.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3 for the QFX Series.
Option local added in Junos OS Release 14.1.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 14.1X53-D20 for the OCX Series.

Description Remove all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all key values on
the device where you run the command.

• If the device has dual Routing Engines, the command is broadcast to all Routing Engines
on the device.

• In a Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) composed of EX Series switches

(except EX8200 Virtual Chassis) or QFX Series switches, this command operates only
on the member switch where you run the command, even if that switch is in the master
Routing Engine role. The command is not forwarded to the backup Routing Engine
member or to member switches in the line-card role. To apply this command to more
than one member of an EX Series or QFX Series Virtual Chassis or VCF, we recommend
you remove and disconnect each of those members from the Virtual Chassis or VCF,
and then run the command on each isolated switch individually.

The command removes all data files, including customized configuration and log files,
by unlinking the files from their directories. The command removes all user-created files
from the system, including all plain-text passwords, secrets, and private keys for SSH,
local encryption, local authentication, IPsec, RADIUS, TACACS+, and SNMP.

This command reboots the device and sets it to the factory default configuration. After
the reboot, you cannot access the device through the management Ethernet interface.
Log in through the console as root and start the Junos OS CLI by typing cli at the prompt.

NOTE: If the configuration contains the commit synchronize statement at the

[edit system] hierarchy level, and you issue a commit in the master Routing
Engine, the master configuration is automatically synchronized with the
backup. If the backup Routing Engine is down when you issue the commit,
the Junos OS displays a warning and commits the candidate configuration
in the master Routing Engine. When the backup Routing Engine comes up,
its configuration will automatically be synchronized with the master. A newly
inserted backup Routing Engine or a Routing Engine that comes up after
running the request system zeroize command also automatically synchronizes
its configuration with the master Routing Engine configuration.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

NOTE: Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F3, the request system zeroize
command removes all configuration information on the guest OS for the
PTX5000 router with RE-DUO-C2600-16G, and MX240, MX480, and MX960
with RE-S-1800X4-32G-S.

Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1F5, the request system zeroize command
removes all configuration information on the guest OS for the MX2010 and
MX2020 with REMX2K-1800-32G-S.

On these routers, in order to remove all configuration information on both

guest OS and host OS, use the request vmhost zeroize command.

To completely erase user-created data so that it is unrecoverable, use the media option.

Options media—(Optional) In addition to removing all configuration and log files, causes memory
and the media to be scrubbed, removing all traces of any user-created files. Every
storage device attached to the system is scrubbed, including disks, flash drives,
removable USBs, and so on. The duration of the scrubbing process is dependent on
the size of the media being erased. As a result, the request system zeroize media
operation can take considerably more time than the request system zeroize operation.
However, the critical security parameters are all removed at the beginning of the
process.

NOTE: On QFX Series platforms running Junos OS Release 14.1X53 or

earlier, the media option is not available. On QFX Series platforms running
releases later than Junos OS Release 14.1X53 that do not have the
FreeBSD 10 kernel, the media option is available, but if you use it, the
system will issue a warning that the media option is not supported and
will continue with the zeroize operation. On platforms that are not QFX
Series platforms, the media option is not available in Junos OS Release
17.2 or later with the FreeBSD 10 kernel.

local—(Optional) Remove all the configuration information and restore all the key values
on the active Routing Engine.

NOTE: Specifying this option has no effect on switches in a Virtual

Chassis or VCF composed of EX Series switches (except EX8200 Virtual
Chassis) or QFX switches, because in these configurations, the request
system zeroize command only operates locally by default.

Additional Information The portions of the configuration that you can view depend on the user class that you
belong to and the corresponding permissions. If you do not have permission to view a
portion of the configuration, the text ACCESS-DENIED is substituted for that portion of
the configuration. If you do not have permission to view authentication keys and passwords
in the configuration, because the secret permission bit is not set for your user account,
the text SECRET-DATA is substituted for that portion of the configuration. If an identifier
in the configuration contains a space, the identifier is displayed in quotation marks.

Likewise, when you issue the show configuration command with the | display set pipe
option to view the configuration as set commands, those portions of the configuration
that you do not have permissions to view are substituted with the text ACCESS-DENIED.

Output Fields Table 5 on page 209 describes the output fields for the show system processes command.
Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

CPU (For systems running Junos OS with upgraded FreeBSD only) Breakdown of the extensive
percent usage on a per-CPU basis into the following categories: % user, % nice,
% system, % interrupt, % idle.

NOTE: This field shows up in the second frame of output.

To see which platforms run Junos OS with upgraded FreeBSD, see Release
Information for Junos OS with Upgraded FreeBSD.

Mem Information about physical and virtual memory allocation. brief extensive
summary

Active Memory allocated and actively used by the program. brief extensive
summary
When the system is under memory pressure, the pageout process reuses memory
from the free, cache, inact and, if necessary, active pages. When the pageout
process runs, it scans memory to see which pages are good candidates to be
unmapped and freed up. Thus, the distinction between Active and Inact memory
is only used by the pageout process to determine which pool of pages to free
first at the time of a memory shortage.

The pageout process first scans the Inact list, and checks whether the pages
on this list have been accessed since the time they have been listed here. The
pages that have been accessed are moved from the Inact list to the Active list.
On the other hand, pages that have not been accessed become prime candidates
to be freed by the pageout process. If the pageout process cannot produce
enough free pages from the Inact list, pages from the Active list get freed up.

Because the pageout process runs only when the system is under memory
pressure, the pages on the Inact list remain untouched – even if they have not
been accessed recently – when the amount of Free memory is adequate.

Inact Memory allocated but not recently used or memory freed by the programs. brief extensive
Inactive memory remains mapped in the address space of one or more processes summary
and, therefore, counts toward the RSS value of those processes.

Any amount of memory freed by the routing protocol process might still be
considered part of the RES value. Generally, the kernel delays the migrating of
memory out of the Inact queue into the Cache or Free list unless there is a
memory shortage.

Buf Size of memory buffer used to hold data recently called from the disk. brief extensive
summary

Free Memory that is not associated with any programs. Memory freed by a process brief extensive
can become Inactive, Cache, or Free, depending on the method used by the summary
process to free the memory.

Swap Information about physical and virtual memory allocation. brief extensive
summary
NOTE: Memory can remain swapped out indefinitely if it is not accessed again.
Therefore, the show system process extensive command shows that memory
is swapped to disk even though there is plenty of free memory, and such a
situation is not unusual.

PID Process identifier. detail extensive

summary

TT Control terminal name. none detail

STAT Symbolic process state. The state is given by a sequence of letters. The first none detail
letter indicates the run state of the process:

• I—Idle (sleeping longer than about 20 seconds)
• R—Runnable
• S—Sleeping for less than 20 seconds
• T—Stopped
• Z—Dead (zombie)
• + —The process is in the foreground process group of its control terminal.
• <—The process has raised CPU scheduling priority.

currently exceeding that limit; such a process is not swapped.
• A—The process requested random page replacement.
• E—The process is trying to exit.
• L—The process has pages locked in core.
• N—The process has reduced CPU scheduling priority.
• S—The process requested first-in, first-out (FIFO) page replacement.

RES Current amount of program resident memory, in kilobytes. extensive summary

This is also known as RSS or Resident Set Size. The RES value includes shared
library pages used by the process. Any amount of memory freed by the process
might still be considered part of the RES value. Generally, the kernel delays the
migrating of memory out of the Inact queue into the Cache or Free list unless
there is a memory shortage. This can lead to large discrepancies between the
values reported by the routing protocol process and the kernel, even after the
routing protocol process has freed a large amount of memory.

Replace number with the following values depending on the LCC configuration:

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

local—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display system queue statistics for the local
Virtual Chassis member.

member member-id—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display system queue statistics
for the specified member of the Virtual Chassis configuration. Replace member-id
with a value of 0 or 1.

scc—(TX Matrix routers only) (Optional) Display queue statistics for the TX Matrix router.

sfc number—(TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Display system queue statistics
for the TX Matrix Plus router. Replace number with 0.

Additional Information By default, when you issue the show system queues command on the master Routing
Engine of a TX Matrix router or a TX Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all
the master Routing Engines of the LCCs connected to it in the routing matrix. Likewise,
if you issue the same command on the backup Routing Engine of a TX Matrix or a TX
Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all backup Routing Engines of the LCCs
that are connected to it in the routing matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

local—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display system storage
statistics for the local Virtual Chassis member.

member member-id—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display

system storage statistics for the specified member of the Virtual Chassis
configuration. For EX4200 switches, replace member-id with a value from 0 through
9. For an MX Series Virtual Chassis, replace member-id with a value of 0 or 1.

node-group name—(QFabric systems only) (Optional) Display system storage statistics

for the Node group.

scc—(TX Matrix routers only) (Optional) Display system storage statistics for the TX
Matrix router (or switch-card chassis).

sfc number—(TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Display system storage statistics
for the TX Matrix Plus router. Replace number with 0.

Additional Information By default, when you issue the show system storage command on the master Routing
Engine of a TX Matrix router or a TX Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all
the master Routing Engines of the LCCs connected to it in the routing matrix. Likewise,
if you issue the same command on the backup Routing Engine of a TX Matrix or a TX
Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all backup Routing Engines of the LCCs
that are connected to it in the routing matrix.

Release Information Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
sfc option introduced for the TX Matrix Plus router in Junos OS Release 9.6.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2X51-D20 for QFX Series switches.

Description Display whether graceful Routing Engine switchover is configured, the state of the kernel
replication (ready or synchronizing), any replication errors, and whether the primary and
standby Routing Engines are using compatible versions of the kernel database.

NOTE: Issue the show system switchover command only on the backup
Routing Engine. This command is not supported on the master Routing Engine
because the kernel-replication process daemon does not run on the master
Routing Engine. This process runs only on the backup Routing Engine.

Beginning Junos OS Release 9.6, the show system switchover command has been
deprecated on the master Routing Engine on all routers other than a TX Matrix
(switch-card chassis) or a TX Matrix Plus (switch-fabric chassis) router.

However, in a routing matrix, if you issue the show system switchover command on the
master Routing Engine of the TX Matrix router (or switch-card chassis), the CLI displays
graceful switchover information for the master Routing Engine of the T640 routers (or
line-card chassis) in the routing matrix. Likewise, if you issue the show system switchover
command on the master Routing Engine of a TX Matrix Plus router (or switch-fabric
chassis), the CLI displays output for the master Routing Engine of T1600 or T4000 routers
in the routing matrix.

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Options all-chassis—(TX Matrix routers and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX
Matrix router, display graceful Routing Engine switchover information for all Routing
Engines on the TX Matrix router and the T640 routers configured in the routing matrix.
On a TX Matrix Plus router, display graceful Routing Engine switchover information
for all Routing Engines on the TX Matrix Plus router and the T1600 or T4000 routers
configured in the routing matrix.

all-lcc—(TX Matrix routers and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX Matrix
router, display graceful Routing Engine switchover information for all T640 routers
(or line-card chassis) connected to the TX Matrix router. On a TX Matrix Plus router,
display graceful Routing Engine switchover information for all connected T1600 or
T4000 LCCs.

Note that in this instance, packets get dropped. The LCCs perform GRES on their
own chassis (GRES cannot be handled by one particular chassis for the entire router)
and synchronization is not possible as the LCC plane bringup time varies for each
LCC. Therefore, when there is traffic on these planes, there may be a traffic drop.

all-members—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display graceful Routing Engine

switchover information for all Routing Engines on all members of the Virtual Chassis
configuration.

lcc number—(TX Matrix routers and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX
Matrix router, display graceful Routing Engine switchover information for a specific
T640 router connected to the TX Matrix router. On a TX Matrix Plus router, display
graceful Routing Engine switchover information for a specific router connected to
the TX Matrix Plus router.

Replace number with the following values depending on the LCC configuration:

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

local—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display graceful Routing Engines switchover
information for all Routing Engines on the local Virtual Chassis member.

member member-id—(MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display graceful Routing Engine
switchover information for all Routing Engines on the specified member of the Virtual
Chassis configuration. Replace member-id with a value of 0 or 1.

scc—(TX Matrix router only) (Optional) Display graceful Routing Engine switchover
information for the TX Matrix router (or switch-card chassis).

302 Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 11: System Software Monitoring Commands

sfc—(TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Display graceful Routing Engine switchover
information for the TX Matrix Plus router.

Additional Information If you issue the show system switchover command on a TX Matrix backup Routing Engine,
the command is broadcast to all the T640 backup Routing Engines that are connected
to it.

Likewise, if you issue the show system switchover command on a TX Matrix Plus backup
Routing Engine, the command is broadcast to all the T1600 or T4000 backup Routing
Engines that are connected to it.

If you issue the show system switchover command on the active Routing Engine in the
master router of an MX Series Virtual Chassis, the router displays a message that this
command is not applicable on this member of the Virtual Chassis.

Additional Information By default, when you issue the show system uptime command on the master Routing
Engine of a TX Matrix router or a TX Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all
the master Routing Engines of the LCCs connected to it in the routing matrix. Likewise,
if you issue the same command on the backup Routing Engine of a TX Matrix or a TX
Matrix Plus router, the command is broadcast to all backup Routing Engines of the LCCs
that are connected to it in the routing matrix.

NOTE: The show system virtual-memory command with the | display XML pipe
option now displays XML output for the command in the parent tags:
<vmstat-memstat-malloc>, <vmstat-memstat-zone>, <vmstat-sumstat>,
<vmstat-intr>, and <vmstat-kernel-state> with each child element as a
separate XML tag. In Junos OS Releases 10.1 and earlier, the | display XML
option for this command does not have an XML API element and the entire
output is displayed in a single <output> tag element.

Release Information Command introduced in Junos OS Release 8.5.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Command introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2X51-D20 for QFX Series switches.
Support for logical systems introduced in Junos OS Release 13.3

Description Displays nonstop active routing (NSR) status. When you issue this command on the
master Routing Engine, the status of nonstop active routing synchronization is also
displayed.

CAUTION: If BGP is configured, before attempting nonstop active routing

switchover, check the output of show bgp replication to confirm that BGP
routing table synchronization has completed on the backup Routing Engine.
The complete status in the output of show task replication only indicates that
the socket replication has completed and the BGP synchronization is in
progress.

To determine whether BGP synchronization is complete, you must check the

Protocol state and Synchronization state fields in the output of show bgp
replication on the master Routing Engine. The Protocol state must be idle and
the Synchronization state must be complete. If you perform NSR switchover
before the BGP synchronization has completed, the BGP session might flap.

Options This command has no options.

 Chapter 11: System Software Monitoring Commands

Description Display the hostname and version information about the software running on the router
or switch.

Beginning in Junos OS Release 13.3, the show version command output includes the Junos
field that displays the Junos OS version running on the device. This field provides a
consistent means of identifying the Junos OS version, rather than extracting that
information from the list of installed sub-packages.

Options none—Display standard information about the hostname and version of the software
running on the router or switch.

brief | detail—(Optional) Display the specified level of output.

all-members—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display standard

information about the hostname and version of the software running on all members
of the Virtual Chassis configuration.

component all—(QFabric systems only) (Optional) Display the host name and version
information about the software running on all the components on the QFabric system.

component component-name—(QFabric systems only) (Optional) Display the host

name and version information about the software running on a specific QFabric
system component. Replace component-name with the name of the QFabric system
component. The component-name can be the name of a diagnostics Routing Engine,
Director group, fabric control Routing Engine, fabric manager Routing Engine,
Interconnect device, or Node group.

local—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display standard

information about the hostname and version of the software running on the local
Virtual Chassis member.

member member-id—(EX4200 switches and MX Series routers only) (Optional) Display

standard information about the hostname and version of the software running on
the specified member of the Virtual Chassis configuration. For EX4200 switches,
replace member-id with a value from 0 through 9. For an MX Series Virtual Chassis,
replace member-id with a value of 0 or 1.

scc—(TX Matrix routers only) (Optional) Display the hostname and version information
about the software running on the TX Matrix router (or switch-card chassis).

lcc number—(TX Matrix routers and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX
Matrix router, display the host name and version information about the software
running on for a specified T640 router (line-card chassis or LCC) that is connected
to the TX Matrix router. On a TX Matrix Plus router, display the host name and version
information about the software running for a specified T1600 or T4000 router (LCC)
that is connected to the TX Matrix Plus router.

Copyright © 2017, Juniper Networks, Inc. 383

Getting Started Guide for Routing Devices

Replace number with the following values depending on the LCC configuration:

• 0 through 3, when T640 routers are connected to a TX Matrix router in a routing

matrix.

• 0 through 3, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router in a

routing matrix.

• 0 through 7, when T1600 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with 3D
SIBs in a routing matrix.

• 0, 2, 4, or 6, when T4000 routers are connected to a TX Matrix Plus router with

3D SIBs in a routing matrix.

sfc number—(TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Display the hostname and version
information about the software running on the TX Matrix Plus router (or switch-fabric
chassis). Replace number with 0.

Additional Information By default, when you issue the show version command on a TX Matrix or TX Matrix Plus
master Routing Engine, the command is broadcast to all the T640 (in a routing matrix
based on a TX Matrix router) or T1600 or T4000 (in a routing matrix based on a TX Matrix
Plus router) master Routing Engines connected to it. Likewise, if you issue the same
command on the TX Matrix or TX Matrix Plus backup Routing Engine, the command is
broadcast to all the T640 (in a routing matrix based on a TX Matrix router) or T1600 or
T4000 (in a routing matrix based on a TX Matrix Plus router) backup Routing Engines
that are connected to it.
