Monitoring the Routing Engine
You monitor and maintain the Routing Engine, a key router component, to ensure
that all system processes function normally, including routing protocols, packet
forwarding tables, router interfaces, system management, JUNOS software and file
system storage, and monitoring functions. (See Table 31.)
