Initially Configuring the MX2010 Router
The MX2010 router is shipped with Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured when the MX2010
router is powered on. There are three copies of the software: one on a CompactFlash card in the CB-RE,
one on the 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
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 CLI commands, either on a console device attached to the
CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine or over a Telnet connection to a network connected to the MGMT
port on the Routing Engine.
