Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Configure this address to be the primary address of the protocol on the interface. If the
logical unit has more than one address, the primary address is used by default as the
source address when packets originate from the interface and the destination does not
indicate the subnet.
For unicast traffic, the primary address is the lowest non-127 preferred address on the
unit.
