~30 years of being a Cisco IOS shop or Cisco IOS-XR shop? A bit different.
Welcome to the SP-world of really nice JunOS Conf Blah blah blah Commit check <----- will check your pending config for correctness Commit | compare <----- will tell you what is about to change (similar to IOS-XR “show commit change diff” …if you don’t like it…. Rollback …if you are nervous about breaking something and what to smoke test it… Commit confirmed 2 <----- allows you a couple minutes to see if the sky falls…if it does, it’ll all be good in 2 minutes when it reverses the change. XR has this too …if you like it… Commit …if you still don’t like it… Conf Rollback 1 Commit Gosh, there’s so much more Built in monitor/sniffer for interfaces JunOS is so linux based, that you will find a lot of things like that in it. Shell under the hood and see various other things The mx204 has some strange 1 gig option for 10 gig interfaces… which are still referred to as xe-?/?/? even when operating in 1 gig… -Aaron From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+aaron1=gvtc....@nanog.org> On Behalf Of Forrest Christian (List Account) Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2020 4:38 AM To: nanog list <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Juniper configuration recommendations/BCP <ISP hat on> After nearly 30 years of being a cisco shop, I'm working on configuring our first pair of Juniper MX204's to replace our current provider-edge cisco. I've worked through enough of the Juniper documentation/books to have a fairly good handle on how to configure these, but I wanted to check with the list to see if there are any Juniper-Specific gotchas I might run into that isn't documented well. I've done a bit of googling and am either finding stuff that is largely Cisco-specific or which is generic - all of which I'm rather familiar with based on my past history. Is there anything I should worry about which is Juniper-specific? -- - Forrest
