Packet Classification

Most line modules support packet classification on ingress (some non-ASIC line modules do not). A classification engine on the line module matches specific fields (such as source and destination IP address, source and destination port, and protocol), the ingress IP interface, layer 2 fields, or some combination of these against user-configured filters at wire speed.

I/O Modules

Most line modules have a corresponding input/output (I/O) module that provides the physical interconnection to the network. Insert each I/O module into the back of the system, directly behind its corresponding line module.

For information about which line modules pair with which I/O modules, see Chapter 12, Module Specifications. See Figure 1-5, Figure 1-7, and Figure 1-9for locations. For details about installing I/O modules, see Chapter 5, Installing Modules.

Network Management Tools

You can use different management tools to configure the system to meet the specific networking requirements.

CLI Management

The CLI provides fully developed and automated configuration and status functionality through a local RS-232 port, Telnet, or SSH via any reachable network. For a full discussion of the CLI, see the E-Series System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command Line Interface.

SNMP MIB Management

The system offers a complete SNMP interface for configuration, status, and alarm reporting. The system supports both Standard and Enterprise MIBs (Management Information Bases). The Juniper Networks E-Series Enterprise MIB is ASN.1 notated for easy importing into third-party SNMP management applications. For more information, see E-Series System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, Configuring SNMP.
