Juniper to IOS conversion chart

    Moving to JunOS from IOS can be a daunting task.  It’s a completely different command structure and the config, by default, looks like a programming language.  I was fortunate enough to have gotten in on using JunOS very early in my career, 1/3 in to be exact (as of this writing).  Not to mention that wen I got started, IOS wasn’t the only game in town.  Remember Xylan?  Gandalf?  OpenRoute? How about Ascend?

    That being said, a conversion chart is a useful thing.

    These are everywhere on the net.  Recently I was asked to provide some of this for my job, so I took most of what I could find on the net and compiled it together using my favorite one as a template adding this and that from my own bag of what I thought was useful, which was very little since the initial one was pretty complete.  I suspect this may migrate to a “page” and not just a post, and will likely be a bit of a living document as I find more and more useful bits and pieces.

show conf | display xml –display the configuration as XML, useful for programming to the XMLRPC interface
Adding | no-more to a command such as:
request  support information | no-more –removes the need to space bar through long output.  Can also be used for piping to a file like
