Network Commands (/)

Welcome to this compilation of the most common Juniper / Junos Operational Commands. Based on the documentation and the experience
we have achieved along years working as a network engineer, we want to condense the hughest ammount of knowledge and experience in
the minimum space, in order to become an useful "cheat sheet" able to help the network engineer on a daily basis.

We are not showing configuration commands. Juniper has tons of documentation in order to configure services. What we want to show is
just the operational side, but focussing there, we want to create the best spreadsheet in the web. Please be welcome to help us with any
additional commands or suggestions you may have. This site will always be under construction.

We are commited to avoid any copyright infringement, so if someone feels we do, please let us know. Our e-mail address is
