Junos Node Unifier (JNU) allows you to configure and manage many Juniper Networks
platforms running Junos OS from one MX Series router. You can use JNU to manage
thousands of 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single site or that are distributed
across multiple sites from a single point.
JNU provides single-touch provisioning from one MX Series router acting as a controller.
It provides a single point of:
• Configuration and management
• Running operational mode commands
• SNMP polling and SNMP traps
• Collecting logging information
The JNU software answers the following needs:
• Ethernet port fanout or port multiplexer to control thousands of Ethernet ports from
one MX Series router.
• Layer 2 switching on managed devices to meet Data Center needs, such as server port
aggregation.
• Layer 3 MPLS routing on managed devices to provide business access and mobile
•
backhaul applications.
