Tutorial: Getting the Content You Need

Welcome to the Technical Documentation Help for Juniper Networks. Our goal is to

deliver content that connects and empowers you to use our products.

Whether you are newto Juniper Networks, or an expert user, you may be wondering what

the best path is to get the content that you need. Take this tutorial to learn how to get

started.

• Getting Oriented: The Technical Documentation Page on page 3

• Drilling Down: Searching for Content on page 4

• Next Steps: Browsing for Specific Content on page 6

Getting Oriented: The Technical Documentation Page

Technical documentation at Juniper Networks is organized hierarchically. The Juniper

Networks Technical Documentation home page includes links for all of our supported

products. From there, you can link down to a specific product, and then to a subset of

information about that product (for instance, just hardware, or just software for a

particular release). You can continue to navigate down until you find the specific piece

of information you need.


http://www.juniper.net/techpubshttp://www.juniper.net/techpubshttp://www.juniper.net/techpubshttp://www.juniper.net/techpubs


16/48

Drilling Down: Searching for Content

One of the easiest ways to find content is to search based on keywords using the Juniper

search engine, or through an external search engine such as Google.

• Juniper documentation search–The Juniper Networks search engine (Documentation

Search box) is availableon therightsideof everypage on theJuniper Networks Technical

Documentation site. When you use the Documentation Search box, you can filter your

results to quickly narrow down to the information you need.

If youhave navigated to the documentation page for a particularhardware or software

product, and youthen enter keywords in the DocumentationSearch box on thatproduct

page, the Juniper Networks search engine automatically displays results that are

relevant for that product.

You can also manually filter results based on your chosen criteria. Use the Product,

Format, and Language options in the left pane of the search results page to narrowdown which content is displayed.





17/48

Want to perform more robust searches? See our tips for “Searching for Technical

Content with the Juniper Search Engine” on page 21.

• External search engine–We understand that many of you prefer to search for Juniper

Networks technical documentation using an external search engine, so we have

compiled tips for using Google. Read themhere: “Searching for Technical Content with

Google” on page 19.

• Content Explorer–If you want information about our Junos OS products, you can use

our Content Explorer application to find it all in one place. Content Exploreris availableon the left side of every page on the Juniper Networks Technical Documentation site.

Content Explorer provides you with a single page where you can filter the Junos OS

content you see based on your hardware device, product release, and the type of task

you want to accomplish.

Selecting a hardware platform or software release leads you to tabbed content pages.

In this example, we are showing a tabbed content page for the access privileges feature

for Junos OS.

Browse the tabs to discover the content related to each tab. For example, on the

Configuration tab, we provide procedures and examples for how to configure access

privileges.

Selecting a link on thetab leads you to one of our content pages, which contain answers

to the specific question that you have. In this example, selecting the Understanding Junos

OS Access Privilege Levels link on the Overview tab gives you more information about

how access privileges work.

Once you find the content you are looking for, you might decide you want to learn more.

Here are a few highlights:

•

Supported Platforms—The vast majority of the pages on www.juniper.net/techpubsinclude a Supported Platforms box on the right panel of the page. This box lists all the

hardware platforms to which the current topic applies. To learn more about any of

these platforms, you can click any of the links in the Supported Platforms box to

navigate to that product’s technical documentation home page.

• Related Documentation links—TheRelatedDocumentationbox is available on the right

panel of everypageon the Juniper Networks Technical Documentationsite, and contains

hand-selected links to product documentation that is relevant to the current content.

This tool is one of the best ways to determine which content to read next.

How Do I Know Which Platforms Are Supported?

Most of the HTML pages posted on the Juniper Networks Technical Documentation site

include a Supported Platforms box on the right side of the page. This box lists all the

hardware platforms within the current release to which the current topic applies.

Remember these considerations:

• If a particular platform is not supported in a specific Junos OS release, that platform

does not appear in the Supported Platforms box.

• In certain scenarios, you must install specific modules in the platform to configure a

feature. If the feature requires a certain module, we state those dependencies within

Searching for Technical Content with Google

Many of you have told us that you prefer to search for Juniper Networks documentation

using an external search engine such as Google. Because our website contains millions

of technical documents, we recommend that you use operators to narrow your search.

Operatorsare punctuation marks and short expressions that you can use to refine your

search results. The following operators are a few that we think will help you to quickly

find the information you need.

Table 3: Using Operators to Refine Your Google Search

ExamplePurposeOperator

“data center fabric”

This search only lists results that include references to

the data center fabric content, including an ad from

Juniper,and an article explainingdata center fabric from

Wikipedia.

Search foran exact phrase.quotation

marks (“ “)

Table 3: Using Operators to Refine Your Google Search (continued)

ExamplePurposeOperator

“data * fabric”

The phrase matches a variety of terms including “data

centrefabric” (using the British English spelling of

“centre”), “data sheet fabric”, “data and fabric,” and

“data fabric” (with nothing between the “data” and

“fabric” terms).

• Include a variable phrasein your search.• Search for partial word matches.

asterisk (*)

mobile ip juniper -junos

This search finds information about Juniper Networks

Mobile IP technology. Sinceit excludes Junos OS-based

documentation, Steel-Belted RADIUS products rise to

the forefront in the search results.

• Exclude words from your search.

• “De-clutter” your search results after you have

had a chance to reviewthem.

minus sign (-)

mpls site:juniper.net

This search lists MPLS content on www.juniper.net,

including configuration information, Day One Guides,

J-Net forum discussions, and training classes.

Limit your search to a singlewebsite.site: operator

junos bgp neighbor peer inurl:junos12.1

Thissearch is restrictedto JunosOS Release 12.1 content,

including release notes.

Limit your search to a specific term that appears

within a website’s directory or URL.

NOTE: We strongly encourage you to use this

operator to target your search queries. By default,

Google ranks releases with frequent hits higher in

the search results, which means that the content

you find may not be for the release thatyou want.

The inurl: operatoris both broader than the site:operator (becauseit findscontent fromany website

with your term in its URL), andmore narrow

(because the term must appear in the URL itself,

and not just anywhere in the site’s content).

inurl: operator

Using these operators together, including multiple instances of the same operator, you

can execute very specific and targeted searches. For example, consider the query:

srx "firewall filter" configuration example inurl:junos12.1 -inurl:pdf inurl:techpubs

site:juniper.net

This example looks and sounds complicated, but what it really means is that we are

looking for firewall filter configuration examples for the SRX Series platforms runningJunos OS Release 12.1, for non-PDF content within the Juniper Networks Technical

Documentation site. The results that we receive include a variety of examples, the Junos

OS Release 12.1 release notes, the Junos OS Release 12.1 configuration guide, and some

feature support guidelines that provide information about the supported features in the

release.

Searching for Technical Content with the Juniper Search Engine

The Juniper Networks website search engine leverages the latest industry-standard

features, including multilingual search capabilities and robust search filters, to provide

you with superior search results.

Even if you use another search engine such as Google for your initial search, one of the

best waysto navigate onceyou are onour site isto type your queryintothe Documentation

Search box at the right of our content pages. The Documentation Search box enables

you to easily filter searches by products and software versions.

For example, if you search for Juniper MPC Configuration on Google, you might land on

an MX Series product documentation page, such as this one:

If you type subscribers in to the Documentation Search box, the search results show

relevant content for subscribers.

Noticethat theProducts listing has MX Series(which you included in your original Google

search) preselected as a filter.

34/48

However, you can modify the filters if you want to explore more content in other areas.

For example, you can click the x to the right of a product name to remove that product’s

content from the results,or you cansearch subscribers results for another product (such

as IDP Series) by clicking that product’s name.

The Juniper site search also allows you to broaden your search to other sections of

www.juniper.net, including the technical documentation, knowledge base (KB) articles,

J-Net discussion forum questions and answers, community blogs, education services

training videos and certification content, and marketing collateral. You can also narrow

your search results by type of document, and by language.

TIP:

When you use the Documentation Search box on the Juniper Networks

Technical Documentation site, we recommend that you:

• Use operators to improve your search results.

• Use search terms that are likely to be unique to the documents you want

to find.

• Use many search terms. The more terms you use, the more accurate the

search results are.

Getting the Most from Examples

At Juniper Networks, we provide best-in-class examples that support the tasks that you

need to get done, whetherit be planning a broad network implementation or configuring

a feature on your device.

We focus on providing a standard example format to ensure that you have a consistent,

predictable, and usable experience across Juniper Networks products. For example, if

you access a Network Configuration Example (NCE) that shows you how to configure a

large multiplatform network, or a smaller example that shows how to set up a feature,

we provide the same standard content, such as a topology diagram and step-by-step

procedures.

Want to know more? We have included some tips and tricks for getting the most out of

examples.

• Checking Requirements on page 27

• Copying Configurations on page 28

• Replacing Patterns on page 28

• Comparing Configurations on page 28

• Verifying the Configuration on page 28

Checking Requirements

Before using an example, we recommend that you check the Requirements section to

see the software and hardware components used in the example.

TIP: Use the Feature Explorer application to explore feature information

about Junos OS and ScreenOS software releases and hardware platforms,

including prerequisites.



40/48

Copying Configurations

Did you know that one of the standard features of a step-by-step procedure in an example

is the CLI Quick Configuration section? It enables you to quickly implement theconfiguration you see in the example on your device.

For example, in Junos OS, you can copy the set statements from this section into your

own configuration file for customization in a text editor, or directly from the example into

the terminal windowfor the device. You cancopy set statements into the terminalwindow

while in configuration mode.

NOTE: When customizing the set statements in a text editor, be sure to

remove any noticeable line breaks before you copy them into the terminal

window. Sometimes, text editors like Microsoft Word have hidden operators

that you inadvertently paste into the terminal window, causing issues when

you commit the configuration. We recommend that you copy from MicrosoftWord into Notepad prior to copying into the terminal window.

Replacing Patterns

You can globally replace patterns in a configuration. For example, you might have learned

from a Network Configuration Example (NCE) that there is a certain term that best

optimizes your policy framework, but it requires that you modify one of your existing

terms. In Junos OS, you can find all instances of the term that you want to change in your

configuration using the show | matchparameter | display set command in configuration

mode. It is then possible to use the replace pattern command to replace one term with

the other.

TIP: This is a powerful tool, so be absolutely sure before committing the

configuration.

Comparing Configurations

Sometimes, you modify a few parameters in one configuration, and you want to copy

them to another. Junos OS enables you to use the show | compare command to identify

differences in two configurations. Plus (+) signs denote the differences.

You can then use the load patch terminal command to “patch” the new parameters into

the new configuration.

Verifying the Configuration

When you have finished the configuration, our examples provide the show commands

that you can use to verify the configuration on the device.




41/48

TIP: For Junos OS examples, did you know that you can copy the output

shown in a show command, and use that to create a configuration?
