Configuring Root Authentication and the Management Interface from the CLI
Before you can use J-Web to configure your device, you must access the CLI to perform the initial
configuration.
To configure root authentication and the management interface:
1. Log in as root. There is no password.
2. Start the CLI and enter configuration mode.
root@% cli
root@>configure
root@#
3. Set the root authentication password by entering a cleartext password, an encrypted password, or an
SSH public key string (DSA or RSA).
[edit]
root@# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password: password
Retype new password: password
4. Commit the configuration to activate it on the device.
[edit]
root@# commit
5. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the Ethernet management interface on the device.
