Solution


For example, to add a description of "Manager's IP" to an address book entry, complete the following steps:

  1. Configure the address-book entry in the security zone as usual.
    2. [edit security zones security-zone trust]
    root# show

    [edit security zones security-zone trust]
    root# set address-book address manager-ip 10.2.2.2

  • To add the description, enter the address-book hierarchy, and then use the keyword annotate .
    • [edit security zones security-zone trust]
    root# edit address-book

    [edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
    root# annotate address manager-ip "IP belongs to manager"

    [edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
    root# show
    /* IP belongs to manager*/
    address manager-ip 10.2.2.2/32;

  • Other address can also be added. To verify the overall display:
    • [edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
    root# set address ordinary 10.1.1.1

    [edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
    root# annotate address ordinary "Test ip"

    [edit security zones security-zone trust address-book]
    root# show
    /* IP belongs to manager*/
    address manager-ip 10.2.2.2/32;
    /* Test ip */
    address ordinary 10.1.1.1/32;

In this manner, any hierarchy can be annotated:

root# show interfaces
ge-0/0/1 {
gigether-options {
loopback;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 1.1.1.1/24;
}
}
}


[edit]
root# edit interfaces

[edit interfaces]
root# annotate ge-0/0/1 ?
Possible completions:
<string> String argument
[edit interfaces]
root# annotate ge-0/0/1 "WAN interface"

[edit interfaces]
root# show
/* WAN interface */
ge-0/0/1 {
gigether-options {
loopback;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 1.1.1.1/24;
}
}
}
