relationship with Juniper Networks within the past three years other than as a
result of their employment with Juniper Networks as of the date of the closing

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The shares being offered by the selling stockholders were issued by us in
our acquisition of Micro Magic, Incorporated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization dated November 27, 2000. The shares of common stock were
issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act. The selling stockholders represented to us that they were
acquiring the shares for investment and with no present intention of
distributing the shares.

     We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares. Each of the
selling stockholders may sell its shares directly or through broker-dealers or
underwriters who may act solely as agents or who may acquire shares as
principals. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more
transactions that may take place through the Nasdaq National Market, including
block trades or ordinary broker's transactions, or through privately negotiated
transactions, or through a combination of any such methods of sale, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically
negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the selling stockholders
in connection with such sales.

     The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the
shares will be the purchase price of the common stock sold less the aggregate
agents' commissions if any, and other expenses of issuance and distribution not
borne by us. The selling stockholders and any dealers or agents that participate
in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of such shares by them
and any commissions received by any such dealers or agents might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

     The selling stockholders may effect transactions by selling shares directly
or through broker-dealers acting either as principal or as agent, and such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of usual and customary or
specifically negotiated underwriting discounts, concessions, or commissions from
the selling stockholders.

     To the extent required, the specific shares of common stock to be sold, the
names of the selling stockholders, purchase price, public offering price, the
names of any such agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commission or
discount with respect to a particular offering will be set forth in an
accompanying prospectus supplement.

     We have agreed to bear certain expenses of registration of the common stock
under the federal and state securities laws and of any offering and sale
hereunder not including certain expenses, such as commissions of dealers or
agents, and fees attributable to the sale of the shares.

     This offering will terminate on the earliest of (a) two years after the SEC
has declared the Registration Statement effective or (b) the date on which all
shares offered hereby have been sold by the selling stockholders.

     Any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under that Rule rather than
pursuant to this prospectus.

     There can be no assurance that a selling stockholder will sell any or all
of the shares of common stock offered by it hereunder.

to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the corporation
and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of
indemnification beyond that specifically provided by current law.

     Article Eighth of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law.

     Article VI of our Bylaws provides for the indemnification of officers,
directors and third parties acting on behalf of Juniper Networks if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed
to our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

     We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our Bylaws, and intend
to enter indemnification agreements with any new directors and officers in the
future. The indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to
indemnify our directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise
by reason of their status or service as directors and officers (other than
liabilities arising from willful misconduct of culpable nature), to advance
their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which
they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors and officers insurance, if
available on reasonable terms.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     We hereby undertake:

     1.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (a)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

          (b)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;

          (c)  to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

     2.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     3.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     4.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of Juniper Networks' annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     5.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of Juniper Networks pursuant to the foregoing provisions or

                                      II-2

<PAGE>   10

otherwise, Juniper Networks has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Juniper Networks of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Juniper
Networks in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Juniper Networks will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
