Download All Juniper JunOS Documentation – Nice Feature

25th September 2011 By 2 Comments

I was browsing the Juniper Technical Documentation today and saw a menu “Portable Libraries” – that’s look interesting and when you follow the link:

Juniper junos docs 1

That’s right, it’s an option to download all the documentation in a multi-part zip file. I think that’s very cool as I can load all those PDFs into my iPad for reading when I have some time. That’s a big step forward from a few months ago when all Juniper documentation was hidden behind a paywall like it was a secret.

Now, if they could just use a font that designed for display reading instead that corporate font that is nice on paper. It’s really hard to read on the computer screen because it’s not aliased properly (or is that just me? )

    “all Juniper documentation was hidden behind a paywall” – Have to disagree with you on that one Greg.  

    All JunOS docs have been public for as long as I’ve been using Juniper (~7yrs).  They even used to do the portable library in a palmtop friendly version, long before the advent of tablets… (check out the pdb and LIT columns in this release from 2006: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos75/index.html)

    They hide their bug database and security advisories behind a login, but then Cisco generally do that too…

      Yup I was going to say the same thing. Been using JUNOS and JUNOSe products for 6 years and I’ve never had to log in to get to the documentation.
