What is the initial prompt displayed when logging in as the root user on a Junos device?

When logging in as the root user on a Junos device, the initial prompt displayed is "root@router%". This specific prompt indicates both the username (root) and the hostname of the device (router), which provides context for users regarding the current session and its scope. The percentage sign (%) signifies that the prompt is in the operational mode, where users can execute commands related to the operation of the device, such as checking configurations or monitoring status.

This prompt is crucial for distinguishing it from the prompts of other users or modes. For example, the admin user might display a different prompt, and prompts in other modes such as configuration mode would also have distinct indications. Understanding the prompt structure helps in navigating the Junos CLI effectively, allowing users to switch between different roles and modes as necessary.
