Mapping OpenConfig Network Instance Commands to Junos Operation
See OpenConfig Data Model Version topic to understand the data models supported version and its Junos OS release for Juniper Networks ACX Series, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, and QFX Series.
Network instance models a generic virtual forwarding table on a device. This supports a Layer 3 forwarding construct such as a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance, or a Layer 2 instance such as a virtual switch instance. A mixed Layer 2 and Layer 3 instances are also supported.
Starting with Junos OS Release 17.4R1, network instance based BGP configuration is supported. After the network instance is configured, you will be prompted with options for BGP configuration such as global bgp, neighbor bgp, and so on.
There is no change in the existing BGP configuration, you can configure BGP in a specific network instance.
Tables Table 1 to Table 7 lists the network instance resource paths.
For configuration and mappings to Junos commands, see:

- Table 2: Interfaces Configuration

Table 3: Subinterfaces Configuration
- Table 4: Static Routes Configuration
- Table 5: Local Aggregates Configuration
- Table 6: Inter-Instance Policies Configuration
- Table 7: Route Limits
