Understanding Device Management Functions in Junos OS
After you have installed a device into your network, you need to manage the device within your network. Device management can be divided into five tasks:
- Fault management—Monitor the device; detect and fix faults.
- Configuration management—Configure device attributes.
- Accounting management—Collect statistics for accounting purposes.
- Performance management—Monitor and adjust device performance.
- Security management—Control device access and authenticate users.
The Junos® operating system (Junos OS) network management features work in conjunction with an operations support system (OSS) to manage the devices within the network. Junos OS can assist you in performing these management tasks, as described in Table 1.
