Comparing JUNOS and IOS Systems' Management Commands
If you’re familiar with Cisco’s IOS and are now using JUNOS, use this table to
translate IOS commands to the proper JUNOS command. Ping is the same, but
otherwise, JUNOS commands tend to be a bit more long-winded.
IOS Command JUNOS Command
clock set set date
ping ping
reload request system reboot
send request message
show clock show system uptime
show environment show chassis environment
show history show cli history
show ip traffic show system statistics
show logging show logshow log file name
show processes show system processes
show running config show configuration
show tech-support request support information
show users show system users
show version show version show chassis hardware
trace traceroute
Comparing JUNOS and IOS Interface Commands
If you’re managing networks—and if you’re using JUNOS, you are—you know
that networking is all about interfaces. The following table compares the interface
commands you use in JUNOS to those used in Cisco IOS to help you find the right
JUNOS command if you know what to do in IOS.
IOS Command JUNOS Command
clear counters clear interface statistics
show interfaces show interfaces
show interfaces detail show interfaces extensive
show ip interface show interfaces
show interfaces detail show interfaces extensive
show ip interface brief show interfaces terse
Comparing JUNOS and IOS Routing Protocol Commands
Keeping routers buzzing along is a key job for any network manager. If you’re
switching to JUNOS to manage your network, you can use the following table to
find the right JUNOS routing protocol commands if you already know the Cisco IOS command.
IOS Command JUNOS Command
clear arp-cache clear arp
show arp show arp
show ip route show route
show ip route summary show route summary
show route-map show policy
show policy policy-name
show tcp show system connections
show ip ospf database show ospf database

show ip ospf neighbor show ospf neighbor
clear ip bgp clear bgp neighbor
clear ip bgp dampening clear bgp damping
show ip bgp show route protocol bgp
show ip bgp community show route community
show ip bgp dampened paths show route damping decayed
show ip bgp neighbors show bgp neighbor
