Initially Configuring the MX2020 Router on page 287
The MX2020 router is shipped with the Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured
when the MX2020 router is powered on. There are three copies of the software: one on
a CompactFlash card in the CB-RE, one on a solid state drive (SSD) in the CB-RE, and
one on a USB flash drive that can be inserted into the slot in the CB-RE faceplate (see
Figure 144 on page
288).
NOTE:
The SSD is internal in the CB-RE and cannot be removed.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB flash drive. If a
USB flash drive is not inserted into the CB-RE or the attempt otherwise fails, the router
next tries the CompactFlash card, and then the SSD.
You configure the router by issuing Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands,
either on a console device attached to the
a telnet connection to a network connected to the
port on the Routing Engine, or over
CONSOLE
MGMT
port on the Routing Engine.
