Configure the JUNOS Internet Software
Configure the JUNOS Internet Software
The router is shipped with the JUNOS Internet software preinstalled and ready to be
configured when the router is powered on. There are three copies of the software: one
on a nonrotating flash drive in the Routing Engine, one on a rotating hard drive in the
Routing Engine, and one on a PC card that can be inserted into the slot in the Routing
Engine faceplate.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the PC card. If a PC card is
not inserted into the Routing Engine or the attempt otherwise fails, the router next tries
the flash drive, and finally the hard drive.
You configure the router by issuing JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) commands, either
on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the craft interface, or over a telnet
connection to a network connected to the MGMT port on the craft interface. Gather the
following information before configuring the router:
•
Name the router will use on the network
•
Domain name the router will use
•
IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
•
IP address of a default router
•
IP address of a DNS server
•
Password for the root user
To configure the software, follow this procedure:
1. If the router is not already turned on, power it on as described in “Power On the
Router” on page 67.
2. Log in as the “root” user. There is no password.
3. Start the CLI.
root# cli
root@>
4. Enter configuration mode.
cli> configure
[edit]
root@#
5. Configure the name of the router. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in
quotation marks (“ ”).
[edit]
root@# set system host-name host-name
6. Configure the router’s domain name.
[edit]
root@# set system domain-name domain-name
Connect the Router and Perform Initial Configuration 69
