How to navigate Logical Systems in Junos OS CLI

1. Appending the logical system to a command

This will display the information about that specific logical system. The Logical System needs to be explicitly stated in the command. For example, the OSPF neighborship for a specific Logical System.

lab@mxD> show ospf neighbor logical-system R3-1 
Address          Interface              State     ID               Pri  Dead
172.22.125.2     ge-0/0/0.0             Full      20.20.1.1        128    33

2. Use set cli logical-system to move across Logical Systems

The advangate of this approach is that all the commands run will display information about a specific Logical System implicitly.
