Juniper Networks J-Series manual How to Use This Guide, Location of J-series Information

J-series™ Services Router Administration Guide

Personnel operating the equipment must be trained and competent; must not conduct themselves in a careless, willfully negligent, or hostile manner; and must abide by the instructions provided by the documentation.

How to Use This Guide

J-series documentation explains how to install, configure, and manage J-series routers by providing information about JUNOS implementation specifically on J-series routers. (For comprehensive JUNOS information, see the JUNOS software manuals listed in “Related Juniper Networks Documentation” on page xviii.) Table 1 on page xvi shows the location of J-series information, by task type, in Juniper Networks documentation.

Typically, J-series documentation provides both general and specific information—for example, a configuration overview, configuration examples, and verification methods. Because you can configure and manage J-series routers in several ways, you can choose from multiple sets of instructions to perform a task. To make best use of this information:

■If you are new to the topic—Read through the initial overview information, keep the related JUNOS guide handy for details about the JUNOS hierarchy, and follow the step-by-step instructions for your preferred interface.

■If you are already familiar with the feature—Go directly to the instructions for the interface of your choice, and follow the instructions. You can choose a J-Web method, the JUNOS CLI, or a combination of methods based on the level of complexity or your familiarity with the interface.

For many J-series features, you can use J-Web Quick Configuration pages to configure the router quickly and easily without configuring each statement individually. For more extensive configuration, use the J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration mode commands.
