Foolish Assumptions

When we wrote this book, we made a few assumptions about you. In essence, we assume that you do, or will, operate or administer a Junos device and need to configure, deploy, maintain, or troubleshoot it. And that means you probably fit within the following:

  • You are a network professional, although you don't have to be one. Our objective is to get you up and running, so we don't discuss the operations of the protocols in detail.
  • You may design or operate networks with devices running Junos software — or are about to, are considering it, or are just curious about what the Junos OS is all about.
  • You may be coming from another network operating system, such as Cisco IOS, in which case, you've found a really good introduction to Junos and the day-to-day administration of the Juniper devices that run it.
  • You may be a student entering the networking profession.

If you are any of these people, or a hybrid of them all, welcome. You've found the right book.
