Integrated Timing
18
MX Series routers support highly scalable and reliable hardware-
based timing that meets the strictest LTE requirements, including
Synchronous Ethernet for frequency, and the Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization.
Synchronous Ethernet and PTP can be combined in a “hybrid”
mode to achieve the highest level of frequency (10 ppb) and
phase (<1uS) accuracy required for LTE-Advanced, eliminating
the need for external clocks.
Junos Fusion Provider Edge
Junos Fusion Provider Edge enables MX Series routers to act as
aggregation devices for the Juniper Networks EX4300 Ethernet
Switch and QFX5100 line of data center switching platforms
acting as satellite devices while appearing to management as
a single, port-dense device managed by a single IP address.
Junos Fusion Provider Edge significantly expands the number
of network interfaces on the MX Series router while keeping
operations simple.
Automated Support and Prevention
Juniper’s Automated Support and Prevention consists of an
ecosystem of tools, applications, and systems targeted towards
simplifying and streamlining operations, delivering operational
efficiency, reducing downtime, and increasing your network’s ROI
running Juniper Networks Junos operating system. Automated
Support and Prevention brings operational efficiency by
automating several time-consuming tasks such as incident
management, inventory management, proactive bug notification,
and on-demand EOL/EOS/EOE reports. The Junos Space Service
Now and Service Insight service automation tools are standard
entitlements of all Juniper Care contracts.
Junos Automation Toolkit and Juniper
Extension Toolkit
Included in Junos OS software, the Junos Automation Toolkit
is a suite of tools supported on all Juniper Networks switches,
routers, and security devices. These tools, which leverage the
native XML capabilities of Junos OS, include commit scripts, op
scripts, event policies and event scripts, and macros that help
automate operational and configuration tasks. Additionally, the
Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET) provides a modern programable
tool kit while maintaining a platform independent architecture,
and includes support for:
• OpenConfig/YANG
• gRPC, Thrift, NETCONF
• JSON/XML
• API support for all modern programming languages
• Rich on-box scripting support using Python
• REST APIs
Together, Junos OS automation and programmability features
simplify complex configurations and reduce the potential
for configuration errors. They also save time by automating
operational and configuration tasks, speed troubleshooting, and
maximize network uptime by warning operators of potential
problems and automatically responding to system events.
