                                                                     EXHIBIT 4.2

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER 
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED 
SECURITIES" AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES 
MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (i) IN 
CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE 
ACT OR (ii) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144, OR (iii) PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF 
COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE IS 
NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE, OFFER OR DISTRIBUTION.


                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE A MAXIMUM OF

                  83,333 SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK OF

                             JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.

                         (Void after December 15, 2003)

     This certifies that VENTURE LENDING & LEASING, INC., a Maryland 
corporation, or assigns (the "Holder"), for value received, is entitled to 
purchase from Juniper Networks, Inc. a California corporation (the "Company"), 
Eighty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three (83,333) fully paid and 
nonassessable shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred 
Stock") for cash at a price of Two and 40/100 Dollars ($2.40) per share (the 
"Stock Purchase Price") at any time or from time to time up to and including 
5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on December 15, 2003 (the "Expiration Date"), upon 
surrender to the Company at its principal office at 3260 Jay Street, Santa 
Clara, California 95054 (or at such other location as the Company may advise 
Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of 
Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and upon payment in cash 
or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price for the number of shares for 
which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the 
provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares 
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 of 
this Warrant.

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

          (a)  Unless an election is made pursuant to clause (b) of this 
Section 1, this Warrant shall be exercisable at the option of the Holder, at 
any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date for all or any 
portion of the shares of Preferred Stock (but not for a fraction of a share) 
which may be purchased hereunder for the Stock Purchase Price multiplied by the 
number of shares to be purchased. In the event, however, that pursuant to the 
Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, an event causing automatic 
conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock shall have occurred prior to the 
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, then this Warrant shall be 
exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
   2
into which the Preferred Stock not purchased upon any prior exercise of the 
Warrant would have been so converted (and, where the context requires, 
reference to "Preferred Stock" shall be deemed to include such Common Stock). 
The Company agrees that the shares of Preferred Stock purchased under this 
Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record 
owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this 
Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares. Subject 
to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock 
so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the 
Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder 
hereof by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after 
the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. Except as 
provided in clause (b) of this  Section 1, in case of a purchase of less than 
all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall 
cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like 
tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the Warrant surrendered 
upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time. Each stock 
certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Preferred Stock as 
may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of 
such Holder or such other name as shall be designated by such Holder, subject 
to the limitations contained in Section 2.

          (b)  The Holder, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by the payment of
the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to the clause (a) of this Section 1, may
elect, at any time on or before the Expiration Date, to receive that number of
shares of Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of: (i) the difference between
(A) the Per Share Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Preferred Stock, less
(B) the Stock Purchase Price then in effect, multiplied by the number of shares
of Preferred Stock the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to purchase
hereunder pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 1 (or such lesser number of
shares as the Holder may designate in the case of a partial exercise of this
Warrant); over (ii) the Per Share Price.

          (c)  For purposes of clause (b) of this Section 1, "Per Shares Price"
means: (i) if the Company's Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading
on any national securities exchange or traded on any national market system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Company's Common Stock as
reported on such exchange or market system for the ten (10) consecutive trading
days prior to the date of the Holder's election to convert hereunder; (ii) if
this Warrant is being converted in conjunction with a public offering of stock,
the price to the public per share pursuant to the offering; or (iii) if no
shares of the Company's Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange or traded on any national market system, the price
per share which the Company would obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by
the Company from authorized but unissued shares as such price shall be
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.

     2.   Limitation on Transfer.

          (a)  The Warrant and the Preferred Stock shall not be transferable 
except upon the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are 
intended to insure compliance with the provisions of the



                                       2
   3
Securities Act. Each holder of this Warrant or the Preferred Stock issuable 
hereunder will cause any proposed transferee of the Warrant or Preferred Stock 
to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon 
the conditions specified in this Section 2.

          (b) Each certificate representing (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Preferred
Stock, (iii) shares of the Company's Common  Stock issued upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock and (iv) any other securities issued in respect of the Preferred
Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock upon any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar
event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 2 or
unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act or sold
under Rule 144) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in
the following form set forth on the first page of this Warrant.

(c)  The Holder of this Warrant and each person to whom this Warrant is 
subsequently transferred represents and warrants to the Company (by acceptance 
of such transfer) that it will not transfer the Warrant (or securities issuable 
upon exercise hereof unless a registration statement under the Securities Act 
was in effect with respect to such securities at the time of issuance thereof) 
except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities 
Act, (ii) Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other rule under the 
Securities Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion 
of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that an 
exemption from such registration is available.   

     3.   Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants 
and agrees that all shares of Preferred Stock which may be issued upon the 
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly 
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all 
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges 
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees 
that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may 
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for 
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights 
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but 
unissued Preferred Stock, or other securities and property, when and as 
required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. 
The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such 
shares of Preferred Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of 
any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic 
securities exchange upon which the Preferred Stock may be listed. The Company 
will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock 
Purchase Price (as defined in Section 4 hereof) (i) if the total number of 
shares of Preferred Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all 
outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Preferred Stock then 
outstanding and all shares of Preferred Stock then issuable upon exercise of 
all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then 
outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock then 
authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total 
number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion 
of all such shares of

                                       3

 
   4
Preferred Stock together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and
then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all
convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares
of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

     4.   Adjustment of Stock Purchase Price Number of Shares. The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, at the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number
of shares obtained by multiplying the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the
Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment.

          4.1  Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          4.2  Dividends in Preferred Stock, Other Stock, Property,
Reclassification. If at any time or from time to time the holders of Preferred
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor,

               (a)    Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock or other
securities whether or not such securities are at any time directly or indirectly
convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, or any rights or options
to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of
dividend or other distribution, or

               (b)    any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash
dividend, or

               (c)    Preferred Stock or other or additional stock or other
securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up,
reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement,
(other than shares of Preferred Stock issued as a stock split, adjustments in
respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 4.1 above), then and
in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant,
be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Preferred Stock
receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefore, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in clauses (b) and (c) above) which such Holder would
hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such
Preferred Stock as of the date on which holders of Preferred Stock


                                       4



   5
received or became entitled to receive such shares and/or all other additional 
stock and other securities and property.

          4.3  Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
If any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected
in such a way that holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Preferred Stock,
then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the holder
hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the
shares of the Preferred Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable
and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares
of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock equal to the
number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and
receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. In any such case,
appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of
the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Stock Purchase Price and
of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be possible, in
relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the
corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument, executed
and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to
such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

          4.4  Sale or Issuance Below Purchase Price. If the Company shall at
any time or from time to time issue or sell any of its Common Stock, Preferred
Stock, options to acquire (or rights to acquire such options), or any other
securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, for a consideration
per share less than the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the
time of such issue or sale, the Stock Purchase Price then in effect and then
applicable for any subsequent period or periods shall be adjusted to a price
determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale
multiplied by the Stock Purchase Price then in effect and (y) the consideration,
if any, received by the Company upon such issue or sale, by (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or
sale. For purposes of this Section 4.4, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise and/or conversion of all outstanding warrants (including this
Warrant), options and convertible securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.
The foregoing notwithstanding, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this
Section 4.4 on account of a given sale to the extent that (a) the Stock Purchase
Price is adjusted pursuant to 

                                       5
   6

any other Section of this Warrant or (b) the conversion price of the Preferred 
Stock is decreased pursuant to the terms thereof.

     4.5  Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Stock Purchase 
Price, and/or any increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon 
the exercise of this Warrant the Company shall give written notice thereof, by 
first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder of this 
Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company. The 
notice shall be signed by the Company's chief financial officer and shall state 
the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or 
decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the 
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of 
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

     4.6  Other Notices. If at any time:

          (a)  the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Preferred 
Stock;

          (b)  the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Preferred Stock 
payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the 
holders of its Preferred Stock;

          (c)  the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders 
of its Preferred Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other 
rights;

          (d)  there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of 
the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company 
with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation;

          (e)  there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, 
liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or

          (f)  the Company shall take or propose to take any other action, 
notice of which is actually provided to holders of the Preferred Stock;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class 
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address 
of such holder as shown on the books of the Company, (i) at least 20 day's 
prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close 
or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription 
rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, 
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or 
winding-up, or other action and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, 
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or 
winding-up, or other action, at least 20 day's written notice of the date when 
the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing 
clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution 
or subscription rights, the date on which the holders 

                                       6

   7
of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance 
with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders 
of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for 
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, 
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or 
winding-up, or other action as the case may be.

     4.7  Certain Events. If any change in the outstanding Preferred Stock of 
the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this 
Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly
protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with the 
essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors 
of the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares 
available under the Warrant, the Stock Purchase Price and/or the application of 
such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as 
to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as 
will give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock 
Purchase Price the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have 
owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to 
hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

     5.   Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock 
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of 
the Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided, however, that the 
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of 
any transfer involved in the issuance and deliver of any certificate in a name 
other than that of the then Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     6.   Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer 
books against the transfer of any Warrant or of any shares of Preferred Stock 
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which 
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     7.   No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing 
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder 
hereof the right to vote or to consent as a shareholder in respect of meetings 
of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other 
matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No dividends 
or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the 
interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only 
to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions 
hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder to purchase shares 
of Preferred Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges 
of the Holder hereof, shall give rise of any liability of such Holder for the 
Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability 
is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

     8.   Amendment of Articles of Incorporation. Unless the holder of this 
Warrant consents thereto in writing, the Company shall not amend its Articles 
of Incorporation prior to the exercise of this Warrant if the Preferred Stock 
would be adversely affected by such amendment.


                                       7
   8
     9.  Registration Rights. The Holder hereof shall be entitled, with respect
to the shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise hereof or the shares of
Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock
as the case may be, to all of the registration rights set forth in the First
Amended Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 5, 1996 to the same
extent and on the same terms and conditions as possessed by the Series B Holders
thereunder. The Company shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to
assure that the granting of such registration rights to the Holder does not
violate the provisions of such agreement or any of the Company's charter
documents or rights of prior grantees of registration rights.

     10. Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the Holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, contained in
Sections 6, 8 and 9 shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     11. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     12. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be deemed to
have been given (i) upon receipt if delivered personally or by courier (ii) upon
confirmation of receipt if by telecopy or (iii) three business days after
deposit in the United States mail, with postage prepaid and certified or
registered, to each such holder at its address as shown on the books of the
Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor in the first
paragraph of this Warrant.

     13. Binding Effect on Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the
covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assign of the holder hereof. The Company will, at the time of the
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, upon request of the Holder hereof
but at the Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation
to the Holder hereof in respect of any rights (including, without limitation,
any right to registration of the shares of Common Stock) to which the holder
hereof shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with this
Warrant; provided, that the failure of the holder hereof to make any such
request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the Holder
hereof in respect of such rights.

     14. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the
several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience
only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall
be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     15.  Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company represents and
warrants to the Holder hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
any Warrant or stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation
of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company at its expense will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.

     16.  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.
