Junos OS – an operating system used in Juniper Networks equipment. It is based on the 4th branch of the open-source FreeBSD operating system. Its main competitor is Cisco Systems’ IOS-XR operating system.
Junox OS supports the installation of additional software, which is distributed as packages signed with the appropriate Juniper Networks certificate. The JUNOS package management system is also derived from FreeBSD.
The user environment is a fully functional working environment with a set of classic FreeBSD utilities. However, configuration changes are only allowed using a dedicated utility, “cli.” This utility also manages all ASICs.
Juniper Networks hardware series running Junos OS:
– Routers — M, MX, T
– Service gateways — SRX
– Service routers — J
– Switches — EX
– Data center switches — QFX
Junos OS Evolved is based on Linux kernel and providing direct access to all the Linux utilities and operations, boot up times significantly shortened.
