Before You Begin

Before you configure a link services interface, you need to perform the following tasks:

• Install device hardware. For more information, see the J Series Services Routers Hardware Guide.
• Establish basic connectivity. For more information, see the Getting Started Guide for your device.
• If you do not already have a basic understanding of physical and logical interfaces and Juniper Networks interface conventions, read Interfaces Overview.

Although it is not a requirement, you might also want to plan how you are going to use the link services interface on your network before you begin configuring it. Read Link Services Interfaces Overview for a basic understanding of the link services interface implementation.
